Young Tiffany was brought to a local pound severely matted by someone who “found” her- since they were able to actually touch and hold her we can only assume she was their dog, as we haven’t gotten that far with her yet 😞. The sedated shave down was the easy part and she’s in good shape physically and we think only about 2 years old, maybe less. Behaviorally, she was all flashing teeth and dramatic kicking and screaming about being picked up or handled or touched. After a couple of weeks of just leaving her alone, she’s starting to calm down, dances and wags her tail for treats and handfeeding, seems interested in squeaky toys, and is allowing minimal brief petting sessions. Every dog progresses at their own pace, and she’s not going to be an instant best friend. Everything must be on her terms. She doesn’t seem crazy about other dogs either, maybe a small calm one she would tolerate but likes her own space.
If you have nothing but time and patience and aren’t looking for an instant connection, and a calm adult only home, please email njwoof@cs.com if you are interested in helping Tiffany achieve her full potential. She’s currently fostered 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.

We request that adopters fill out a pre-adoption application either in person at our adoption day or through our website www.secondchance.petfinder.com. This helps us make sure the animal's personality is a good match for your household. Adoption fees vary according to the dog's age, breed, adoptability, and how much we have had to spend in vet bill on them. Adopters sign a contract at the time of adoption, and the animal must come back to us if they do not work out in the home.
