Homer, a boxer mix puppy, was found on Thanksgiving day in Jersey City by a local resident. He had literally cut his throat trying to escape from the bindings he had been tied up with! A good Samaritan brought him to a Hoboken vet, where emergency surgery was performed to stitch up his neck and leg. It was also paid for by the person who found him! Now he is at the animal shelter in Jersey City. He is no more than six months old and is very good natured. To see Homer or other great pets, come to 235 Jersey City Blvd. (Exit 14C off the Turnpike, across from the Liberty Science Center parking lot entrance).The Liberty Shelter, one of two shelters in Jersey City, has a phone number: (201) 547-4286. The shelter is open seven days a week between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. You can also view the animals at www.libertyanimalshelter.petfinder.com.
