My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rita's biopsy came back and her mammary tumors were benign! She's doing great and is a sweet happy little lapdog who loves attention and is great in the car and housebroken. She has been spayed, had a dental, and her bloodwork was all normal so all she needs now is a home!

Poor Rita- found abandoned and brought to a local pound, this sweet senior does not deserve to be homeless at her age. About 8-10 years old, she has several mammary tumors that were a direct result of not having been spayed by her previous owner. She was filthy and matted with horrible horrible ear infections that showed she has been neglected for a while. Even if you can't adopt, we are in desperate need of donations toward her care.

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.
