New Jersey Aid for Animals board member Kelly Matthews, a Gloucester Township resident, submitted the following to Patch: Riddle (brown and white) is a female approximately six months old, super friendly and she loves to get her belly rubbed. She loves people and is so gentle with all children, even with babies in strollers. She is very dog friendly, but if you take her sister (Twiddle) away from her or out of her sight, she will bark & cry until she sees her again. They ride VERY well in the car without even the need to be tethered. Riddle would do well in a home with children of any age, …
New Jersey Aid for Animals board member Kelly Matthews submitted the following to Patch regarding a dog in need of a home: Boscoe is a sweet little chocolate and tan dog. He's housebroken, gets along with other small dogs and is good with cats. He originally was adopted from a rescue, and after eight years his owner could no longer keep him because they were working long hours. Boscoe is about 9 years old but has a lot of love to give still. As with most small dogs, he's probably not the best with small children, but teens he'd be fine with. If you're looking for a little companion for …

New Jersey Aid for Animals board member Kelly Matthews, a Gloucester Township resident, submitted the following press release to Patch: NJAFA has received a request for help with placement with "Fusilli." This sweet tuxedo, Fusilli, came to them in September 2012 as a stray, and they have tried very hard to acclimate him into their home, however he is an "alpha" cat—aggressively territorial with their other two resident cats. He does very well with their 12-pound Eski-Pom dog, though! They named him after the "corkscrew" pasta because of his incredibly soft, wavy fur (feels like a chenille …

New Jersey Aid for Animals board member Kelly Matthews, a Gloucester Township resident, submitted the following to Patch: Katrina is a truly special dog. She is classified as "special needs" because she is deaf. But being special is so much more than that! Katrina was once an adorable little puppy. Whoever owned her must not have been able to figure out why their precious puppy wouldn't listen. Maybe they thought she was just a dumb dog and Katrina found herself living outside with no one to help her learn how to be a good dog and no one to take care of her. Animal control brought her to the …

New Jersey Aid for Animals board member Kelly Matthews, a Gloucester Township resident, submitted the following to Patch: Meet the newest NJ Aid for Animals (NJAFA) rescue star! We would tell you his name, but he doesn't have one. Camden City Animal Control reached out to us, so he didn't have to go into the shelter, and we welcomed him with open arms.

What do you think?NJAFA recommends this cutie go to a home with no small children…

Hooch is a calm and attentive dog. He also makes the best cuddle buddy, if we could brag for a moment! At almost 55 pounds and eager to please, this sweet boy makes all of us …

New Jersey Aid for Animals board member Kelly Matthews, a Gloucester Township resident, submitted the following to Patch: Tilt is still with us looking for his person. He loves people and and would surely love to come home with you. Cats are oftentimes overlooked because people already have one. We like to tell people when you have one, it's just as easy to have two. Leaving a cat alone in a house while you have to work a full-time job can be a very boring life for a cat. If you are unable to provide the stimulation for the cat, why not give him or her a friend to do so? We vote for Tilt of …
