My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Tara is another one of the North Bergen hoarder dogs. She is a ~2-3 year old border collie mix, 50lbs full grown, and likely had at least one litter of pups. She's very timid but warming up and starting to wag her tail even. She and the other dogs from this horrific case had probably never been on leash or outside of that house/backyard, but they are slowly getting acclimated and learning to enjoy individual attention and clean living quarters for the first time in their young lives.
The North Bergen hoarder dogs aren't ready for adoption just yet- they are in the process of getting much needed medical care and will be going into foster care to prepare them for real homes soon. Please email njwoof@cs.com if you are interested in any of these 4 special girls once they are ready. We are still getting to know them but likely will be looking for calmer adult homes with at least one other friendly dog to help them feel more comfortable.

We do not have a shelter- all our pets are in foster homes and can be seen by appointment only during the week, or at our weekly pet adoptions every Sunday at the Animal Clinic of Morris Plains from 12:30 to 3PM at 3009 Route 10 East next to 5 Star Car Wash (formerly Boulder Car Wash) in Morris Plains (Denville on GPS). To help us better match a pet to your household, we request you fill out an application on our homepage www.secondchance.petfinder.com and copy and paste it into an email, or print it and bring it to our adoption day when you come. Local inquiries only please- we do not do long distance adoptions.
