My story

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

Pinocchio has been waiting in rescue for 6 months with no interest! His major fault? He needs to live as an only pet. He can be ok meeting dogs supervised and even tries to play with some, but just doesn’t want to share his home and living quarters them after a lifetime of having to compete with his smaller cuter sister.
Pinocchio is a social guy who craves attention and is a lot of fun. He’s 7-8 years old but can pass for younger in good health except for chronic dry eye but he’s a good boy for his medicated eye drops twice daily. We think he’s a Shih tzu/Bichon mix or maybe lhasa, around 20lbs full grown and cooperative for vetting and grooming (and has a non-shedding “hair” coat)
If you are a one-dog-at-a-time kind of person, e-mail njwoof@cs.com to meet Pinocchio 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.
