Meet Coconut NJ
Sweet fluffy Coconut was found abandoned in a home in Lakewood with her puppies, one of which did not survive. She has been living with one of the vet techs from the shelter. She’s a very nice little girl who passed all of her temperament tests. Coconut is 2 years old and weighs about 14 pounds. In her foster home, Coconut was living with a child, two dogs and a cat. She was fine with the big dog, the Heeler, but she was picking on the Frenchie. They think she needs a dog that will stand up to her, but it also could’ve been because the puppies were around. Coconut can be a little shy at first but once she feels comfortable with you, she LOVES getting attention - she loves being petted and will reward you with kisses in return! Coconut loves to play and chase toys - she will even return the toy to you! She's easy to handle and easy to walk on a leash. She would be a nice pet for just about any home! If you'd like to meet this sweet lap dog, please complete an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and be sure to ask for COCONUT NJ!
Adoption Process
Potential adopters will submit an adoption application. The adopters information will be screened including veterinary and personal references. After the first round of screening they will get the chance to meet the pet. If it is a good match, as deemed by NSPR volunteers, the adopter will complete an adoption contract and pay the fee of 375.00. All animals will be spayed/neutered and fully vetted prior to adoption. The only exception would be small puppies in which case the adopter will submit an additional deposit refundable upon proof of spay/neuter. In the event an animal is no longer wanted, the adoption contract will stipulate that the animal always gets returned to us, and is never sold, given away, or surrendered to another rescue or shelter.
