We have chosen Kuranda dog beds for our boarding facilities because they are so good for our dogs. We still don't have enough for all of our kennels. If you would like to donate a bed so another dog can sleep in proper comfort, please click here.

"Behavior Problems" is one of the top reasons people give for surrendering and even euthanizing their dogs. Most behavior problems aren't that hard to solve.

The Bloomingdale Regional Animal Shelter is now holding Obedience Training Classes given by our trainer Vince Rambala. These classes will boost your dog's confidence, build a bond between you and your dog, and make training positive and fun. Come to the classes and make your dog a "good citizen." Beginner Training Packages include six weeks of Group Training plus equipment for $130. Novice classes begin after completion of Basic. Agility Training Classes are also available. Call 201-337-7299, email pawws@hotmail.com or go to www.vincerambaladogtraining.com for more info. Don't Blame Them - Train Them!! Join Our Obedience Training Classes!

You owe it to him...to be worthy of such devotion"

Who We Are...
BASS (The Bloomingdale Regional Animal Shelter Society) has been the local shelter for the communities of Butler, Bloomingdale, Pompton Lakes, Riverdale, Ringwood and Wanaque for over 10 years. We have a dedicated volunteer staff, all of whom are committed to finding loving homes for the animals in our care. BASS takes in stray, abandoned and owner surrendered pets and works very hard to place them in new and loving homes. Animals that have been impounded as a result of cruely or neglect come to BASS as well and we spend many, many hours giving them the love and comfort they deserve. All of our animals have passed a health and temperament check. We are proud of our success rate and look forward to many great things.

BASS DOES NOT RECEIVE ANY MONEY FROM THE SIX TOWNS WE SERVE. We survive mainly on donations and membership support. Please help support us so that our work can continue. Thank you.

Animals are not disposable! Animals are not articles of clothing to be thrown out once they are no longer in style. They are capable of bonding deeply with their families. Adopting a pet means making a life-long commitment, which can easily be 10-15 years for dogs and up to 20 years for a cat. Source: ASPCA

Volunteers
Almost half of all Americans volunteer, supporting the causes they care about. Most people volunteer because someone asks them to. By volunteering, you become a stakeholder in your community. One of the great things about getting involved in your community is the opportunity to gain a variety of new experiences and meet new people. We always need help at the shelter and at our fundraisers. You can work directly with our dogs and cats or behind the scenes. If you love animals and want to donate supplies and/or time, call 973-838-2220 and speak with a BASS representative. Volunteer and make a difference!

THE REGION'S HOMELESS ANIMALS NEED YOU!

Membership
Help support homeless animals and join our membership program. The Bloomingdale Regional Animal Shelter Society prides itself on giving our animals the best care possible. All of our animals are vaccinated and spayed before they go to new homes. In addition to providing food, medical care and shelter for our guests, we bring them to training classes to teach them to be good citizens, we provide blankets and beds for them to sleep on as well as toys and kongs filled with food for them to play with. However, there are many more goals we want to accomplish in the future - a dog reality room, a spay/neuter clinic, etc. Please help us by making a tax-deductible membership donation.
