Bloomfield Shelter Seeks Home For ‘Terrified’ Dog Who Needs New Family

BLOOMFIELD, NJ — The Bloomfield Animal Shelter is trying to find a new home for an adorable-but-terrified doggo who lost his family just a few weeks before the holidays.

The shelter shared a post about “Roscoe” on Thursday, noting that their message isn’t intended to put his former family in the spotlight – only to find the pupper a good home or rescue.

“His former family wants nothing but the best outcome for him and would be grateful,” the shelter wrote.

Adopters or rescuers can contact AdoptAtBas@gmail.com. Learn more about the shelter here and see other adoptable animals here.

Here’s what you need to know about Roscoe:

“Roscoe was surrendered to our shelter yesterday because his family moved to a new place that didn’t allow pets. His family was just as sad as Roscoe, and we are hoping to find him a home/foster/rescue immediately because he is terrified in the shelter. He is 4years old, est 70lbs, and can afford to lose some weight and follow a healthy diet. He’s listed as a Jack Russel Mix and is neutered. He’s never lived with other pets, and while hasn’t reacted to the other dogs here, it’s best he moves to a calmer home without pets.”
