Got questions? We've got answers.

No, we specialize in pregnant moms, moms with litters and kittens/puppies.

Typically most of our animals come from kill shelters in the southern states. We do however help shelters in our area and we do take owner surrenders if we have the foster space.

Your application must be submitted and approved before you can visit with an adoptable animal. Once your application is approved and adoption appointment will be set up for you to visit the pet you are interested in adopting.

We ask that adopters are prepared to take the animal home at that time. Everything is completed in one appointment with our organization. 

Yes, you must travel to New Jersey in order to complete the adoption process.

No we do not ship or transport to other states.

The home owner must be involved with the adoption process. We do not adopt to anyone under the age of 21 years old. We prefer you own your own home with a fully fenced in yard.

Adoption donations are used for expenses incurred by the rescue. Some of the fees we incurred are: shelter pull fees, transport, vaccinations, boarding, spay/neuter, food, supplies and medical bills. Each dog adopted comes with age appropriate shots, dewormings, health certificate and spay/neuter to NJ residents through our program. These donations made to our organization are tax deductible. 

We have a list of out of state spay & neuter clinics plus certificate programs for our out of state adopters. 

Application will stay on file for one full year. 

Yes, they are always tax deductible

We ask that you give us seventy-two hours to review you application. We will respond through email, text or phone call if your application is approved. The next step would be an adoption appointment to meet the pet your interested in adopting.

Adoption appointments would take place at the foster parents home. Most foster homes are in the Central New Jersey area or Bucks Co. Pennsylvania. We are a foster based rescue with no facility. Adoptions are done by appointment only.

Yes, we do offer online hold deposits for animals not ready to be adopted. Adopters must first complete an adoption application online and be approved.  You would need to call or text us directly so the deposit is marked with the correct information.

• Hold deposits are accepted in several ways including Venmo, Zelle and our donate button on our website.  A typical hold deposit is $150 with the balance due at the final adoption appointment. 
• Deposits are refundable if your puppy becomes unadoptable for health reasons.
• Deposits are not refundable if you do not show up for your adoption appointment, cancel due to adopting another animal, work, illness, travel or moving. Your deposit would then become a tax deductible donation to our organization or it would be transferred to another puppy.

Once you place a deposit, that guarantees your family that puppy. We ask that you are prepared to pick up your puppy once released as we do not have the space to hold after they are cleared for adoption.

Adoption appointments typically take 15-30 minutes but every adoption is different. In this appointment you will meet the dog chosen, ask any questions you may have, read and sign the adoption agreement and the adoption fee would be due at this time.

We ask that you bring your ID, leash and adjustable collar (for adult dogs), blanket and carrier for puppy & kitten adoptions.

A microchip is a permanent id the size of a grain of rice which is inserted under the skin. It holds your information so your pet can be quickly reunited if lost. Any vet, shelter or rescue can scan the pet to see who the owner is and return the pet successfully. It is not a painful procedure and is given just like a regular vaccination. Our 24Petwatch microchips come with lifetime registration.

We do NOT take any animal with a history of biting or being aggressive. It is a huge liability and we ask that your honest when filling out an owner surrender form. We do not want to risk anyone being hurt or another dog being bitten.
