MADISON, NJ — National Dog Month is winding down, and while many folks have four-legged pals to share their homes, Patch is participating in 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.

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

According to Saint Hubert's, Buck is a two-year-old labrador retriever and weighs about 50 pounds.

"I'm a playful pup who likes being with you as well as other dogs. I love treats and will sit for you any time. I enjoy long walks and will also hang out on the couch with you. I'm looking for a home with people who are looking for a companion to explore with. I'm the greatest dog you'll ever meet. But you don't have to take my word for it," the shelter description says.
