Spotlight On!

Happy New Year!

The Hudson County Animal League would like to wish our members, volunteers and supporters a very Happy New Year. Our deepest thanks to you all for your continued support of our efforts to help the homeless and abused animals of Hudson County. Thanks also to Bailey and her mom for providing us with this great picture!



HCAL in the News

The Jersey Journal recently did a story on HCAL's visit to the Park Prep Academy preschool in Jersey City. The children presented homemade pet treats to Harry, one of our rescues, and Kathleen, one of our board members. Harry was a big hit and taught the kids about animal rescue. Harry is now in a home of his own.



Give Me a Home of My Own for the New Year!

Give yourself the gift of love in 2012! HCAL's adoption team will be at PetSmart in Secaucus every Sunday with fabulous felines looking for a home of their own and someone to love - could that someone be you? For more information, please contact Phyllis at 201 339-4517.



Shih Tzu Brothers Need a Home!

My name is Comfort and this is my brother, Lover. We desperately need a home because our elderly owner can't afford to take care of us anymore. We also need a special home. I am going blind because of cataracts and I need my brother to help me find my way around.

We're purebred Shih Tzu, born in 2005. We both love humans. We're always happy to meet and greet new people--and we love kids. We'll sit in your lap, we'll ride quietly in the car, just happy to snuggle up next to you on the seat. We don't bark very much and are neutered and up to date on shots.

But we also depend on each other for companionship and love, and we can't bear being separated. And now that my eyesight is getting very bad, I need Lover more than ever. Won't you bring us into your family? We're good little dogs who just want to give someone lots of love and cuddles.

Just Call Her Cover Girl Sophie!

What a difference a year makes! When she was rescued by HCAL, Sophie had numerous medical ailments, causing - among other problems - a severe skin condition. After much love and veterinary care, Sophie's health and beauty have returned...so much so that she recently won a pet photo contest sponsored by the Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter and will be featured on the cover of their 2012 calendar! Congratulations little girl!

You can read Sophie's Happy Tails story in our Petpourri section.
