While many animals are available, here are just a few you can find this weekend.

Princess is a beautiful 1-2 year old female Siamese. She was found as a stray in New York City. She is shy at the shelter but not nasty. All the barking scares her. She came in with her brother Aladdin. To adopt her will be $125, which includes her spay, shots, combo test and microchip. Princess will be at the Petco adoption center on Route 1 in Edison in the Home Depot shopping center, on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Check the ARF website on Saturday and Sunday to see if anything has changed.

Allie is a very, very sweet 5 month old kitten. She is spayed, has all of her shots, is tested and is negative for felv/five. Allie will be at the Petco adoption center on Route 1 in Edison in the Home Depot shopping center, on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Check the ARF website on Saturday and Sunday to see if anything has changed.

Java is a chocolate lab that was adopted from ARF June 2007 as an 8-month-old, a pure-bred Chocolate Lab. He is now 6 years old, housebroken and good with children. He is neutered and now weighs 100 pounds. He is being given back to us because of a divorce. The picture is from when he was 8 months old. Java will be at the Petco adoption center on Route 1 in Edison in the Home Depot shopping center, on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Check the ARF website on Saturday and Sunday to see if anything has changed.

Maxi was scheduled to be euthanized on Jan. 2, 2012 at a high kill shelter. One of ARF’s volunteers saw her sweet face and couldn’t let that happen to her, so she took her in. Maxi is a spayed female black and white cat. Her previous owners said she is about 7 years old. They gave her up because someone in the family had allergies. She weighs 11 pounds and is current on her vaccines, negative for felv/fiv, and is  micro chipped. Her previous owners said she doesn’t mind their other cats and plays with their dog. She always uses her litter box and loves to scratch on her scratching post. They said she is shy with strangers at first, but is a very friendly, sweet cat who loves her chin to be rubbed, and wants to be pet.  Maxi will be at the Petco adoption center on Route 1 in Edison in the Home Depot shopping center, on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Check the ARF website on Saturday and Sunday to see if anything has changed.
