DOG OF THE WEEK - HELP GYPSY FIND HER "FOREVER" HOME

Gypsy is a 5 months old Chihuahua looking for her "forever" home.

Gypsy is a 5 months old Chihuahua. She is a small dog. Gypsy goes to work with her foster mom, happily greeting people with her tail wagging. She is very well behaved in the office and loves the attention that she gets. Gypsy enjoys her lunch time walks with her foster mom.

Gypsy is very playful and gets along well with other dogs. She enjoys being a lap dog and going for car rides. Gypsy knows how to sit and wait for a treat. She is working on her house training, which is progressing well. While Gypsy enjoys cuddling with people and is just as happy curling up on her doggie bed a nap. Gypsy is up-to-date with her vaccinations, spayed, and micro-chipped.

For more information on Gypsy or any of the other dogs available through Home for Good Dog Rescue visit the Home for Good website (www.homeforgooddogs.org).

About Home for Good Dog Rescue:

Home for Good is a volunteer-based, 501(c) (3) non-profit animal rescue. We are a 100 percent foster based organization with an office in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. Our organization is dedicated to rescuing dogs from deplorable conditions in kill shelters, tending to their physical needs and finding them a new loving home where they can thrive.

At Home for Good, we seek the best treatment for our animals. We provide medical care, training, support and hope. Our dogs are vaccinated and ID micro-chipped. We rescue puppies and dogs that are facing euthanasia. Some require surgery from a specialist to repair broken limbs, while others may need additional rehabilitation time and specific medical care for respiratory illnesses, skin infections, heartworm treatments, and emergency surgeries. Through our adoption services, these loving animals are given a chance at a fulfilled life.

Almost Home Wellness Center:

Help us build the Almost Home Wellness Center so more homeless dogs can get a second chance at life. By contributing to the Almost Home Capital Campaign, you will help build a wellness center for dogs that are in dire need of medical care and attention as they embark on their journey to find their forever homes. To find out more about the Almost Home Wellness Center visit the Home for Good website.
