Baxter and his buddy Duffy (see other show) were found as strays at a rest stop on Route 80. Baxter is a handsome guy with great big ears and one blue eye, one brown eye. He's a neutered male, about 2 to 3 years old, perhaps an American bulldog / terrier mix. When found, both dogs were hungry and scared. Now they're healthy and ready to go! Both will need exercise and training...and loving, forever homes.
Holden is a petite, black and white kitty who was brought into a shelter with 18 other friendly farm cats. He's a neutered male, very quiet and sweet. Holden loves to be petted and drape himself over your shoulder. Take a look!

The Michael Vick case has brought dogfighting into the national spotlight. But to the people involved with animal welfare work in New Jersey, dogfighting and the overbreeding of pit bull type dogs are not news. Shelters around the state are crammed with unwanted dogs collectively known as "pit bulls", and struggle with decisions about the dogs' fates. While pit bull type dogs are widely feared today as they have been responsible for some brutal, even fatal attacks on pets and people, that wasn't always the case. When properly bred, trained and socialized, American Pit Bull Terriers are known to be friendly towards people, and make loyal, loving pets. Watch this Homeless Tails Special to learn about Liberty Humane Society's BAD dogs program, and see how this Jersey City shelter carefully evaluates the temperaments of its dogs, to see which are adoptable and which are truly dangerous.
