Story

Hi! My name is KiKi and I am looking for a forever home. I was part of an operation to rescue over 80 small dogs in order to put a backyard breeder out of operation as we were not being very well taken care of. One of those rescues reached out to BCAA to see if they could help some of us and they said yes ... yeah! We were all pretty scared when we first came into foster but everyone has been so nice to us and with some TLC and time, we are slowly coming out of our shells. I would love to find a quiet home, maybe with a friend or two to help me learn the ropes. My foster was told I was supposed to be a shihtzu mix but not sure what with; based on my size, the shihtzu might be correct but several folks say I have the head and coat of a King Charles Cavalier (they were also at the breeder's place). I weigh just a little over 10lbs and at around 2y ears old, I shouldn't get any bigger. I have gotten along with all of the other dogs I have met and even share a crate with a couple of my friends without any issues (we all eat side-by-side without any resource guarding). We have done well in our crate without any accidents, barking or tearing up of any of our bedding as long as we are able to get outside regularly. I have never had a leash on before & they do scare me so I will need a physically fenced yard in order to take care of my business. If you would like to meet me or one of my friends, please fill out an application which can be found at www.bcaaofnj.org.Interested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application! PLEASE NOTE: Our adoption fee helps to cover our expenses and includes all shots, *age appropriate*, distemper and rabies, fecal check, spay/neuter, heartworm test, grooming, and in many cases dental and also the fee we pay when we rescue from a shelter.

Disclaimer:Adoption decisions are made on a case-by-case basis and reflect the rescue’s mission to act in the best interest of each animal. Policies are not intended to be discriminatory and are applied solely to ensure lifelong placement and welfare of the dog. We do not allow electric fences/halo collars, runners/tethers or doggy doors ##2619826##
