Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
FOLLOW EMAIL INSTRUCTIONS BELOW TO APPLY.
WE CANNOT REPLY TO INQUIRIES SENT DIRECTLY THROUGH ADOPT-A-PET.
NORTH NEW JERSEY: DIXIE
Dixie is a 5-ish yo. 7 lb. female tan and white Chihuahua that is a super sweet and goofy little girl that LOVES being with her people. She is the perfect lap buddy (or purse buddy) for someone that wants a pal to hang out with. She has wonderful house manners and is a very good listener. She always wants to please her people.
Her bloodwork is normal, she had a dental, was spayed, and brought UTD. She is HW and Lyme negative, chipped, dewormed, and housebroken.
She was excellent at the vet and loves everyone she meets. She is a typical Chi so no young children visiting or living in the home. She has lived with other pups her whole life but would love to have you all to herself.
TO BE CONSIDERED, PLEASE EMAIL THE FOLLOWING PRELIMINARY DETAILS to:
adopt@gingerbreaddogs.org
- Name of dog(s) you are interested in adopting
- Your full name
- Full address
- Phone number
- Type home (house, condo, apt, etc.)
- Fenced-in yard details if any
- Ages of everyone living in household
- Work schedule of adults in household
- Ages of children visiting the home and frequency
- Current dogs in home: name, breed, size, and age
- If no current dogs, then your previous dogs (name, breed, age, what happened to them)
- 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.
