DOG OF THE WEEK – Help Benjamin find his Forever Home


Benjamin is a 2 year old Golden Retriever-Great Pyrenees mix. He is a clever, playful and affectionate dog that has not had the advantages of growing up in a home environment. Benjamin gets along very well with other dogs and has a submissive nature. He is eager to please and accepts correction well.

Benjamin is housebroken and his other training is progressing. He will do best with an active family that is committed to providing appropriate outlets for his energy. Benjamin loves people. He wants constant love. Benjamin’s foster mom says he gives the best kisses. Benjamin is up-to-date with his vaccinations, neutered, and micro chipped.

For more information on Benjamin or any of the other dogs available through Home for Good Dog Rescue visit the Home for Good website (www.homeforgooddogs.org), call (908) 598-8212 or email info@hfgdr.org. If you are considering adopting Benjamin or one of the other Home for Good dogs, please complete an online application.  A pre-approved application is required for all “meet and greets” and adoptions.

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 happy and fulfilled life.
