Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Raisin is the smallest and most reserved of our recent trio of retired breeding Havanese moms, but starting to get more curious and exploring this strange new world outside of a cage. She’s been befriending and following some of the more confident dogs in her foster home and will REQUIRE a home with at least one other compatible doggie friend to continue to learn from. She is still skittish with people and jumps back when approached at first but is getting more comfortable each day and taking treats from us. Everything will take time and patience with her- housebreaking, learning to walk on a leash, play with toys… - all the things ”normal dogs” who grew up in loving homes take for granted. She deserves ”all the things”- she’s been deprived for too long and we can wait to see her thrive in a home and enjoy her life. Raisin is 14lbs and about 4-5 years old, spayed, and updated on shots. Please email njwoof@cs.com to meet her in Northern NJ
Since COVID-19, we are no longer holding our Sunday adoption events until further notice, but we are scheduling meet and greet appointments with a specific dog or dogs at our meeting spots in Northern NJ. To streamline adoptions, all communication before, during, and after the adoption process is done through email only: we have limited volunteers able to return phone calls. Submit an application from our website www.secondchance.petfinder.com to speed up the adoption process and email any questions to us at njwoof@cs.com. Please check your email regularly for next steps. All our dogs reside in foster care in Northern NJ until adoption and we do not have a central shelter location. We are a small all-volunteer organization focused on rescuing local dogs from area shelters, as well as accepting some surrenders and puppy mill rescues.
