PLEASE DO NOT CALL US ABOUT THESE PUPPIES- EMAIL INQUIRIES ONLY. Please copy and paste the application below into an email and send it to us at njwoof@cs.com if you are interested in adopting one of these pups. Local inquiries only please.
These 4 adorable purebred schnauzer girls are 10 weeks old and were born January 18th. 2 are white and 2 are salt & pepper, and all have natural tails and ears. All are super sweet and playful and were raised in a loving home. They were the result of an accidental litter- we are paying for the owner to spay their mom so there are no more accidents! Please submit an application below if you are interested. These pups can be seen by appointment only and will not be at our adoption days.
We do not have a shelter- all our pets are in foster homes or boarding kennels 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). 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.
