My Story

"Maury," an adorable shepherd/terrier mix, was abandoned at the shelter at the tender age of 3 months. Although a highly adoptable puppy at that age, he was held back from adoption at the shelter while severe lacerations from a rope that had to be surgically removed from his neck healed. He was next prevented from being adopted because the shelter was approached to possibly do a TV news story featuring Maury. He was chosen because of his exceptional personality and adorable face. Three months passed and the news story never materialized. But now Maury was no longer a puppy but a gangly "teenager" lacking house manners and basic obedience. Even so, he was adopted twice. Both times the adopters returned him because they had neither the time nor patience to train this sweet dog. He then went through an obedience training course. He was "teacher's pet"and passed with flying colors and much praise. Adopted a 3rd time, he was once again returned. This time the family raved about how sweet and well mannered he was but, a family member was allergic to him. Now about a year old, Maury sadly waits for his forever home. He has lots of pent-up energy from spending so many months in a small kennel. Do you have the patience and love to give this little boy (he's only 38 pounds soaking wet) a chance to show you what a loyal companion he can be? If so, contact FOCAS at 201-943-4019; press option #4 and an adoption counselor will return your call to make arrangements to meet him.
