Meet Puddin'-pending
This dog is part of our shelter outreach program where we take dogs from overcrowded shelters in hopes of finding them a forever home here! We generally do not have much background info on them and cannot guarantee they are housebroken. They are all up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered and microchipped. 6 yrs old, 11 lbs. Puddin, a sweet 6-year-old Chihuahua who is looking for her forever home. Puddin has had a difficult start in life, as she was rescued from a backyard breeder where over 40 dogs were kept in deplorable conditions. However, she is ready to start a new chapter in her life and is looking for a loving and patient family to help her feel safe and loved. At first, Puddin may be scared and hesitant around new people and unfamiliar environments. But with a little time and patience, she will warm up to you and become a devoted and affectionate companion. Puddin loves to cuddle and would thrive in a calm and quiet home environment. Puddin needs to learn how to be a dog and will benefit from a family who is willing to help her adjust to a normal routine. However, with the right family and support, Puddin has the potential to become a confident and happy little dog. If you are looking for a loyal and loving companion who will be by your side (and on your lap), Puddin may be the perfect fit for you. With your love and care, Puddin will thrive and become a cherished member of your family.

Adoption Process
Our friendly, knowledgable team of staff and volunteers would be glad to give you a tour of the shelter and discuss whether one of our furry friends is the right match for your home. Please click here for our location and visiting hours.
The JSAC has careful policies on the placement of young animals, dominant breed dogs (Rottweilers, Shepherds, Akitas, etc) and we give preference to homes in the Eastern PA, New Jersey, Southern New York and Northern Delaware region (please note: we do not ship animals). We prefer homes in the region so that we can be a resource for the animals and their adopters. These policies and procedures are in place to protect everyone involved and are very common when rehoming animals, whether through a shelter or a rescue group.
We do not have "same day" adoptions. Rather, an application for an animal is reviewed to ensure that 1) the home has taken good care of their other animals * 2) The animal is permitted in the home and 3) that it is the right home for the right animal (choosing dog that likes cats if cats already in household, etc..). Typically this process takes 24-48 hours. If a dog application is approved and there are other dogs in the home, we have the two (or more) dogs meet; many times if necessary.
