My story

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

The neglect and abandonment never ends…

Meet Tina and Terry. These sweet young Shih tzus were abandoned locally, both matted itchy messes with open bleeding sores from scratching so much. Clearly a bonded breeding pair, Tina was still lactating and looked like she must have recently had pups.
Luckily they survived and were picked up by animal control and taken to an emergency vet to get started on treatment. They seem to be only about 2 years old, and are sweet lovely little dogs despite their obvious discomfort, neglect and suffering. They are with our vets at Country Willow Veterinary Hospital now getting full medical work ups and continued care to help stop their severe itching and get their skin under control, and of course get spayed and neutered- no more breeding for these little ones. They will soon be looking for a home hopefully together. They seem to be sweet with everyone including other dogs were perfect angels for their vetting and medicated baths so far.

Email njwoof@cs.com if you would like to open your home to Tina (whitish/yellow/pink 🤢 female) and Terry (black and white and red 🩸 male) once they are ready. Your donations as always will go directly to our extensive medical bills for them and many other medical cases we have recently taken in.

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.
