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.

MEET VIVIENNE
North New Jersey
Vivienne is a 7 year old, 13 lb. female sable with black mask purebred Pekingese. This little girl is the sweetest little love bug you ever met. She LOVES people and dances around so you pay attention to her. She is a great companion and enjoys mild walks, sniffing in the yard, lounging around, tummy scratches and giving kisses. She will chase after a toy when tossed around.
She lives with other small breed pups in her foster home and has started to play with them. She is a very good eater and goes potty outside. She does know how to use a potty pad if you have them down. She would be ok with teenagers and up (no small kids).
Vivienne was dumped in a NYC shelter when she couldn’t produce pups anymore. She has been spayed so her breeding days are over. We also did a dental, brought UTD on vaccines, xrays, chipped, and dewormed.
This little girl is a wonderful loving sweetie that deserves a great family to adore her.
NOTE: the picture with her hair long was from the shelter. She was FILTHY and matted to the skin so we had to shave her down completely. Her hair is growing back already and she can have a traditional Peke coat if preferred.
Vivienne’s adoption fee is $450.
TO BE CONSIDERED, PLEASE FILL OUT OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION HERE

ABOUT OUR PROCESS:
WE ONLY CONTACT APPLICANTS WITH WHOM WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD. We typically get in touch within 24-48 hours, but it may take up to 10 days. Please watch your email and answer your phone (from 201 area code) after you submit an application. Unfortunately, we do not have the manpower to reply to all applicants.
We also do not have the manpower to accept phone calls. Everything we know about the dog is posted above. Our adoption process is on our website. You can see more about our daily operations on our Facebook page.
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 us, we 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, and we reserve the right to deny adoption at any point during the process.
Please DO NOT be inappropriate when engaging with our rescue. We will not tolerate harassment, stalking, threats, slander, extortion, intimidation, or theft. This includes, but is not limited to, incessant emailing and social media posting to demand a dog, contacting our volunteers on their personal emails and phone numbers, showing up at our volunteers’ homes uninvited, publicly blasting on social media in an attempt to circumvent the process, volunteering as a guise to extort/steal a dog, slandering us online because you were not chosen for the dog, and/or contacting our Facebook followers about a dog.
While we greatly appreciate your enthusiasm and desire to adopt one of our pups, improper behaviors exhibited during the adoption process will disqualify your application. Our time and resources need to be focused on the dogs and cannot be spent on inappropriate behavior, nor should our volunteers be subjected to such, and we will take legal action if warranted. Thank you for your understanding and support with our process.
Note: adoption donations are not negotiable. Our typical investment in our dogs is $1,200 and it goes up from there so our adoption fees do not even cover their vet bills. If you cannot afford an adoption fee, you should not be adopting any dog. They are expensive, especially these little ones!
