We specialize in small breed dogs, especially seniors, from local shelters, homes that can’t keep them, puppy mills, and hoarding situations.
We are a small non-profit all-volunteer foster group. We rescue our dogs/puppies from local shelter, and occasionally take in owner surrenders or rescue dogs from breeders/puppy mills. Northern NJ and Tri-state area

Additional adoption info

We request that adopters fill out a pre-adoption application either on our website. This helps us make sure the animal's personality is a good match for your household. Adoption fees vary according to the dog's age, breed, adoptability, and how much we have had to spend in vet bill on them. Adopters sign a contract at the time of adoption, and the animal must come back to us if they do not work out in the home.
