MEET SPAULDING the PEKINGESE PUPPY!!!
North New Jersey
Spaulding is a 1-year old male black and white parti CKC Registered Pekingese. He is on the larger size for a Peke at 20 lbs. He is not fat (see pics) but big boned and solid. This little guy is SUPER sweet and he LOVES being with his people and giving hugs and kissies. He is very playful with toys and other pups. He can be rambunctious and would do well with a furry playmate of equal size and strength.
He is a very good listener and knows some commands. He is housebroken and looks to his person for guidance. He knows the routine in the home well. He was bought as a puppy into a home with three young children. Unfortunately, now that he is bigger he does not appreciate being handled by the kids and he has bite history with the kids in the home.
Thus, Spaulding needs a kid-free home (no young kids living or visiting) where he can continue to thrive. In his foster home he has been the sweetest most well-behaved little guy. His foster mom can touch his food/bowl and take toys and chew toys away. The bully stick was a different thing—he resource guarded it so mom had to swap out another object to get it away from him. But it was doable. He was wonderful at the groomer and at the vet. He loves everyone he meets and promptly jumps in your lap and gives kissies.
He was around small kids while at the groomer and had no interest in them. So we suspect he is not trying to go after children but is not interested in living with them or being subjected to being handled by children.
Spaulding has been brought UTD, neutered, he is HW and Lyme negative, allergy testing, and housebroken. He is allergic to chicken and doing well on a fish-based kibble. His extensive allergy report will be shared with his new owner so you can manage to his needs.
Given his energy level, a fenced in yard would be amazing especially if he has another fur sibling he can romp with. He can also be an “only dog” home and would love all of your attention. Breed experience is preferred and will be prioritized (or similar brachycephalic breeds).

- How soon are you looking to adopt?
- How soon are you able to conduct a meet & greet in north NJ?
- Your Veterinary practice references including phone number (GIVE THEM PERMISSION TO SPEAK WITH US BEFORE SENDING THIS EMAIL)
We cannot accept phone calls and PLEASE give your vet office permission to speak with rescues if you are applying to adopt from any rescue. Ask them to mark your file. If they will not speak with me, I will move on to the next application and you will not be considered.
We consider out of area adoptions on a case-by-case basis. All meet & greets and adoptions are held in north New Jersey and we do not transport our pups. You must come to NJ. We also do not “hold” dogs. It is first qualified, first come and our expectation is you will move quickly to conduct the meet & greet if you are approved. An approved application does not guarantee adoption of any dog from our rescue.
