Help Kanga, At St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center, Find A Home

MADISON, NJ — It's National Dog Month, and while 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.

Kanga is one of those dogs. He is at the Saint Hubert's Animal Welfare Center at 575 Woodland Ave.

According to Saint Hubert's, Kanga is a four-year-old pit bull and weighs about 53 pounds.

"I am a sweet girl and my favorite spot to be is in your lap. I love being close to people almost as much as I love tennis balls! I can be a bit nervous in new situations, but if there's humans around I will be more comfortable. What can I say? I'm a social butterfly.," the shelter description says.

Saint Hubert's also Kanga can go home with with mature school-aged children over 10, but cannot go home with dogs or cats.

Call (973) 377-2295 for more information.
