JACKSON, NJ — A 12-year-old Border Collie mix named Tommy is waiting for help at the Northern Ocean County Animal Facility after his owner passed away, and volunteers are seeking a rescue group to give him a second chance. He is in need of placement due to age-related medical concerns and difficulty adjusting to the shelter environment.
Key Points
- Tommy is a 12-year-old Border Collie mix whose owner recently died
- He is currently housed at the Northern Ocean County Animal Facility in Jackson
- Volunteers are seeking a 501(c)(3) rescue or foster home due to his age and medical needs
Although he previously lived with other dogs, staff say he has been reactive to dogs at the facility. Because of this, they believe Tommy would thrive best in a calm, single-pet home where he can receive individual care and attention.
Rescue or foster home needed urgently
Animal advocates are urgently reaching out to 501(c)(3) rescue groups or individuals willing to foster Tommy through a rescue. Interested organizations or potential fosters are encouraged to email kathleenfrett1@gmail.com for more information.
Tommy continues to wait in the shelter as volunteers search for a compassionate solution.
