Help Erie Find A Forever Home

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — Many folks have four-legged pals to share their homes, Patch is kicking off an effort we hope you'll join: We want to help 1,000 dogs in New Jersey and Pennsylvania find their forever homes.

As part of that effort, we will be highlighting dogs that currently are waiting in shelters for someone to adopt them. Dogs like Erie. He's currently at the Homeward Bound Adoption Center, and he's ready to find his forever home.

“Hello there! My name is Erie and this is my best friend James! Some say I’m the perfect lady and I can’t say they’re wrong,” the shelter wrote in the flyer for Erie. “I like people, kids, dogs and events, almost everything really! Little kids are cute, I always roll over and give them my belly. They love the belly! James and I always have fun together. We like leisurely walks, hanging out in the shade and meeting new people. I’m a pretty happy girl and I’m usually always smiling. I get especially happy when people give me food, who doesn’t love food? Do you have any food? Are you looking for the perfect dog? Ask to meet me today!”

The Homeward Bound Pet Adoption Center is located at 125 County House Road in the Blackwood section of Gloucester Township. It can be reached at 856-401-1300. For more information about the shelter, visit https://homewardboundnj.org/.
