Meet Fritz, a perfect German name for a perfect little German dog!
This 4 year old was a breeder release and is understandably shy and nervous, but very curious about the world around him and warms up quickly. He loves other dogs and being part of a pack and is a follower not a leader who needs at least one other doggie friend in the household to help show him the ropes. Everything is still new and a bit scary to him- walking on leash, housebreaking, being cuddled and loved, and he’s looking for a calmer adult home that understands he may never be the life of the party, but given time will bond and be loyal and loving toward his people. He’s not shown any aggression, just skittish and jumps away when first approached or freezes and shuts down when overwhelmed. He’s a handsome small Particolor schnauzie, chunky at 13.5lbs right now but on a diet and other than some rotting teeth that are getting taken care of is in pretty good shape. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Fritz by appointment 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.
Schnauzer alert 🚨 😍 🤤

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.
