My story

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

Meet our newest oldest dog, Chulo!

This 14 year old 14lb yorkiepoo was surrendered when his owner was moving and couldn’t take him. He looks younger with his big puppy dog eyes and still has some pep in his step. They couldn’t remember the last time he went to a vet and his mouth looked like Christmas 🎄 Bright red inflamed gums and green rotting teeth 🤢. He had a long overdue dental and only has a few teeth left, but feels and smells much better!

Chulo likes other small dogs and likes being with people, and can be vocal when alone. He wants to feel included as part of the pack, human and dog alike. He’s sometimes nervous at first if startled or picked up too quickly and prefers to come to you on his terms. He has some very early kidney disease and some arthritis but otherwise seems to be in pretty good shape and we are hoping has a few more good years left in him.

Please keep him in your thoughts today as he undergoes his dental procedure and stay tuned for updates! Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Chulo in Northern NJ if you would like to open your home to this little golden man in his golden years.

Chulo is just another of the recent barrage of local seniors in need who have found their way to us recently and are in need of extensive medical care to prepare them for a brighter future. It’s only with your continued support that we are able to show up over and over again for the dogs in our community that need our help.

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.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Every Sunday at the Animal Clinic of Morris Plains from 12:30 to 3pm at 3009 Route 10 East in Morris Plains, NJ 07950. Call us at 973-208-0191 or during the adoption at 973-366-2568 for more info.
