Meet the North Jersey adoptable pets of the week for May 16: Leroy and Omar
Meet adoptable pets of the week for May 16!
Each week, would like to highlight adoptable animals from local shelters and rescues.
If you foster, work at, or volunteer with a North Jersey animal shelter or rescue and know of some animals who are in need of a loving fur-ever home please send a photo, description and adoption information to amwallace@ to have your adoptable pets featured in the next edition.
This week we are featuring Leroy and Omar from Southern Paws Inc.
Leroy is an adorable 13-week-old Aussie, cattle dog and lab mix with a heart full of joy and a tail that never stops wagging. This playful little guy is bursting with energy, curiosity and charm. Whether he is chasing a ball, exploring new things, or just being his goofy, smart self, Leroy is always up for fun and adventure.
Don't let his playful side fool you, Leroy is also a cuddle bug who melts into your arms for cozy snuggles and sweet, quiet moments. He is the best of both worlds: spirited and snuggly.
Leroy is looking for a forever home where he can grow up loved, go on adventures, and shower his people with unconditional love. If you're looking for a best friend with a big heart and an even bigger personality, Leroy might just be your perfect match.
Omar is a 13-week-old lab and boxer mix with a heart as big as his puppy paws. This sweet boy is the perfect mix of playful energy and warm snuggles. He's a lovebug who gets along great with other dogs and is always ready to make new friends, both furry and human.
Omar's curious mind and clever nature make him a fast learner. He is eager to explore, discover, and soak up all the love and adventure life has to offer. Whether he's bouncing around with toys or melting into your lap for a cuddle, this charming pup is guaranteed to steal your heart.
Omar is looking for a forever home filled with joy, kindness and lots of belly rubs. He may be the perfect new addition to your family.
Southern Paws Inc. is a New Jersey-based nonprofit dog rescue that works with rescues and shelters in the southern United States to provide homes for dogs who would otherwise be euthanized due to overpopulation.
If you are interested in adopting Leroy or Omar, fill out an application at an adoption event or on the rescue's website. After filling out an application, Southern Paws will do a vet reference check, a phone interview, a virtual house check, reference check, and finalize the application for the adopter to pick up their pup from the foster home.
Both pups are currently in foster here in New Jersey.
The rescue does not have a meet and greet process outside of adoption events, which are typically held every to every other weekend in various locations.
