The Gingerbread House Sanctuary & Rescue A NJ Nonprofit Corporation
Saving Tiny Seniors
Mission
The Gingerbread House is a Pekingese and similar small-breed sanctuary and rescue located in northern New Jersey. We welcome all small-breed pups that need a new home, and we are passionate about saving senior and hospice pups that have special needs due to their age or medical conditions and that would likely be put down if left in a shelter. We partner with local shelters and rescues to take in these special-needs dogs so they are not euthanized. While in our care, we provide for their ongoing veterinary care, medication, food, continence care, and grooming. The Gingerbread House is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and 100% volunteer and foster based. All donations are 100% tax deductible.

Dog Rescue
The Gingerbread House Sanctuary & Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit organization located in New Jersey for Pekingese and similar small-breed dogs. We rescue dogs surrendered by their owners due to their age or medical needs, from severe neglect hoarding situations, and from backyard breeders and puppy mills. We provide loving foster homes to rehabilitate prior to adoption or permanent hospice foster homes where they can spend their remaining days being cared for and loved.
