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:

WE CANNOT REPLY TO INQUIRIES SENT DIRECTLY THROUGH ADOPT-A-PET.
MEET ROGER
North New Jersey
Roger is a 10+ year old, 7 lb. male black and tan Long Haired Chihuahua. This little guy is the sweetest little love bug. He LOVES being with his people. He is a great little companion and enjoys mild walks, sniffing in the yard, lounging around, tummy scratches and giving kisses.
He lives with other small breed pups in his foster home and does well with them. He is a good eater and goes potty outside. He does know how to use a potty pad if you have them down. He would be ok with teenagers and up (no small kids).
Roger was dumped in a NYC shelter by his family. He has been neutered, brought UTD on vaccines, had a dental with 11 extractions, xrays, full blood panel, HW negative, dewormed, groomed, and chipped. His blood and xrays were normal and he appears to be a healthy little guy.
Roger’s adoption fee is $450.
TO BE CONSIDERED, PLEASE FILL OUT OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION HERE
We only process complete applications and providing false information immediately disqualifies you from adopting.

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!
