My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

MEET BODIE the PEKINGESE!!!
North New Jersey

Bodie is a 2 year old, 13 lb. male tan with black mask Pekingese. This little guy is very sweet and pretty chill (typical Peke). He loves to lounge around and sun himself by the window. He gets attached quickly to his person and he enjoys playing with toys, chewing on nylabones, and playing with other pups his size.

He is a good listener and understands the routine. He was bought as a puppy into a home with “many” young children which ultimately resulted in bite incidents breaking the skin. He arrived at the shelter scared to death of almost everything. Once in our rescue, he has been doing well learning to trust and is very affectionate. He will need a loving and emotionally stable home. He does not do well in a volatile, angry, or unstable environment.

Given his bite history (likely not his fault), Bodie needs a kid-free home (no young kids living or visiting—teenagers and up ok) where he can continue to thrive. Ironically, now that Bodie is in a loving and consistent environment, he loves everyone he meets including the UPS guy, the Fedex guy, the mailman, all visitors to his foster home including young people. He just loves people and wants to say hello to everyone. God only knows what he went through in his former life. He will likely continue to blossom in his new home as he matures and continues to learn to trust.

Bodie has been brought UTD, neutered, he is HW and Lyme negative, dewormed, chipped, and housebroken. He did well at the vet and allowed all handling with no problem. He has been to our groomer a few times and has done very well and has even learned to trust having his front paws trimmed.

Bodie can be an “only dog” since he prefers people over dogs but he would do well with another doggie his size and energy level (and other Pekes of course). He happens to do extremely well with Spaulding who is also for adoption.

Breed experience is preferred and will be prioritized (or similar brachycephalic breeds).

Adoption donation is $550.

TO BE CONSIDERED, PLEASE FILL OUT OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION
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.
