Meet Spade! Spade is an approximately three-year-old Chihuahua mix that weighs 9 pounds. He is crate trained and housetrained, he will use Potty Pads as well. Spade also walks well on a leash. He’s as sweet as can be once he gets to know you. He can be a little scared at first, and he has been a little scared of his visits to the vet. It will take time and practice for him to enjoy his visits to the vet. 
Spade has been through a lot in his short life. He came to us from the shelter, where he was on the euthanasia list because he was so scared of the situation he was in, and he does have a bite on his record. However, as soon as we picked him up, he was nothing but tail wags and kisses! We think a quiet environment would be best for Spade, and we think an all-adult home would be best until he is settled and secure.

We put a lot of time and energy into processing our adoptions to find our babies the best fit home for them and you.  Please do not submit an application if you are not serious about adopting Spade.
We are so excited to work with you to find you a new forever friend, and Spade the perfect forever home, and appreciate you working with us.  
For immediate consideration, please attach your application to the initial inquiry to help us expedite the process.

Our adoption fee is $525. This includes their spay/neuter surgery, full (age appropriate) vaccinations, microchip insertion and registration, deworming, heartworm testing and prevention, flea and tick prevention and travel expenses.

All of our dogs are rescued from local shelters and the general public. Each dog is then placed in a foster home where he/she is kept for quarantine, to ensure if the dog gets sick it can receive proper treatment. We have foster homes in the NJ/NY area waiting to receive their fosters. Once an animal has received an application or theres an adopter interested, we make arrangements for transport. If a dog is already in foster care in NYC/NJ, an adopter will be put in touch with the foster home AFTER an application is being processed.

Thank you in advance for your patience with our process and for making adoption YOUR option!
