Pretzel is the cuddly little runt of the litter, a bit timid but warms up quickly.
We have puppies! Potato, Pretzel, Pudding, and Parsley are adorable 4 month old mixed breeds surrendered to a local shelter. According to their owner they are a mix of...wait for it... Chinese crested, Italian Greyhound, Poodle and Shih tzu! Please email the application below to njwoof@cs.com if you are interested in adopting one of these pups. Please note while they seem to be low-shedding, they do not have hypoallergenic coats and would not be appropriate for allergy sufferers.
We do not have a shelter- all our pets are in foster homes and can be seen by appointment only during the week, or at our weekly pet adoptions every Sunday at the Animal Clinic of Morris Plains from 12:30 to 3PM at 3009 Route 10 East next to 5 Star Car Wash (formerly Boulder Car Wash) in Morris Plains (Denville on GPS). To help us better match a pet to your household, we request you fill out an application on our homepage www.secondchance.petfinder.com and copy and paste it into an email, or print it and bring it to our adoption day when you come. Local inquiries only please- we do not do long distance adoptions.
