He is very affectionate and has a beautiful fluffy tail. Ollie gets along with other cats, is neutered/microchipped, and up-to-date on shots. For more information on Ollie, BARKS, or their upcoming events, visit www.barksinc.com or call 973-300-3185. Noah’s Ark Animal Welfare Association Squeek was surrendered to Noah’s Ark with three of her littermates. She is a very sweet and needs a loving, patient family. She would even do well in a home with dogs and children. Squeek is front declawed. Wishbone is a sweet, goofy, oversized pup. Wishbone does very well with other dogs and is excellent with children. He is very eager to please, so he will train easily once he is met with some consistency. No one can resist his big silly eyes. For more information on Squeek, Wishbone, or Noah’s Ark, visit www.noahsarknj.org or call 973-347-0378. Second Chance Pet Adoption League Owen is a cute one year-old purebred mini schnauzer rescued from an area shelter. He is a spunky, playful guy who will make a great companion for someone who appreciates this special breed. Owen is neutered and up-to-date on shots. Ida is a sweet, small older mixed breed who was taken to a shelter when her owner passed away. She is housebroken and well-mannered, and will make a great companion. These dogs and many more are available through Second Chance Pet Adoption League of Oak Ridge. Visit www.secondchance.petfinder.com or call 973-208-1054 for more information. Adoption days are held every Sunday at the Animal Clinic of Morris Plains 12:30 to 3 p.m. at 3009 Route 10 East, next to 5 Star Car Wash.
