Cranford Cops: Help Find Rescue Dog A Forever Home

CRANFORD, NJ - In Cranford, community policing has gone to the dogs as the department is partnering with Home for Good Dog Rescue in an effort to find loving and forever homes for dogs in need.

According to authorities, they will be sponsoring a dog in need of a home each month and will be sharing links to photos and bios of the dog as well as a link to the adoption applications. Home for Good Dogs is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. They rescue dogs from high-kill shelters in the south and transport them to their rescue located in Berkeley Heights giving them a second chance at life. Officials said they are a unique 100 percent foster based rescue the dogs are placed in loving foster homes until adopted. The fosters train, love and treat the dogs as their own until a forever home is found. To this day they have rescued over 7,000 dogs and counting.

The first pet up for adoption is Lola:

"Meet the lovely Lola! This stunning girl is a 4-year-old purebred German Shepherd. Lola is as sweet as can be and gets along great with her human and canine friends alike. She would make an excellent family dog as she just loves the company of children. She is a very smart and obedient girl and is housebroken. Lola loves to accompany her foster family on long walks but also is just so content relaxing on her doggy bed. Lola cannot wait to find a forever home of her very own!"
