About Chaplin NJ

Chaplin Nj may be 15 years old, but he’s got plenty of life and love left to give. After a decade in a home, he lost his family due to a series of tough breaks—his owner passed away, then his remaining person fell on hard times. Chaplin landed with a foster home that throws him into the mix with three golden retrievers and five cats, and he fits right in without a hitch. At just 9.5 lbs, he prefers hanging close on the couch and never says no to a good chin rub. He handles kids well, though he’s probably happiest around older children who understand his boundaries—he isn’t a fan of fingers in his face. Chaplin is house trained, microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. He’s spent time with other dogs and cats and gets along with everyone, making him a steady, social companion who still loves to snuggle. Click apply to start the adoption process.
