WHO WE ARE

SOS ( stands for "Save Our Small") DOGS. Since 1990, SOS DOGS, a 501(c)3 non-profit small dog RESCUE, has been finding loving permanent homes for small dogs whose owners can no longer keep them (usually due to no fault of the dog). We are an advocate for small dogs, carefully screening prospective homes and selecting only the best for our furchildren. We are a 501c3 registered non-profit organization, located in NJ but serving the entire mid-Atlantic region (MA to VA). All of our dogs are given needed medical treatment, altered, updated on shots and incredibly precious to us.

WHAT IS A RESCUE?

SOS DOGS is a RESCUE.....NOT A SHELTER!!!.A rescue is a private person or group of people who work diligently, with no pay, for the good of the animals they love.  A rescue is a PRIVATE HOME and not a public place to visit.   SOS Dogs does not have a shelter facility - all of our dogs are located in various homes in various places. Our foster care program allows us to really get to know each animal in a home setting. Because these dogs are in private homes, we will make special arrangements for our APPROVED potential adopters to meet the dog he wants, if a potential match seems likely. Our mailing address is an office location only and there are no adoptable pets there. Please respect our privacy and don't "drop by." Just follow our procedure and if your home is deemed right for the dog, we will arrange for you to meet the dog.. The procedure, requirements, a printable application and answers to all of your questions can be found at www.sosdogs.org

WHAT BREEDS DO WE RESCUE?

We primarlly rehome Yorkshire Terriers, Maltese, West Highland White Terriers and Bichon Frises. We will also do other similar non shedding breeds, like shih tzus.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR SMALL DOGS?

NOTHING! Dogs are given up usually because of personal problems of the owner, be it death, divorce, new baby, job change, etc. Most dogs are wonderful and just need a little time, discipline and affection to adjust to a new home (and sometimes housebreaking).

ADOPTING A SMALL DOG FROM SOS DOGS

SOS Dogs has some specific requirements to adopt. Basically you need to submit an application (printable from our website) and be an experienced dog owner with a vet history we can verify (including altering all of your animals and using heartworm preventative). We do a home inspection. You need to have no children under age 5, no big dogs, and not use an invisible fence, all of which can injure a small dog. Please go to our website www.sosdogs.org for full information on our process and procedure. Click on ADOPT A DOG for a complete explanation of requirements, the process of adopting, a printable application and a read only copy of our contract. Please read our other informative pages.

SOS adoption fees ( which include all needed medical, such as altering, all shots and heartworm) are listed on our website, along with procedure and an application. Please visit us at www.sosdogs.org
