This sad grumpy but handsome senior longhair doxie needs an adult only home that is ok with his quirks and grumpiness and will respect his space. His owners originally rescued him from a home where children were pulling his beautiful long hair and tormenting him, and he’s held onto that grudge for years and wasn’t going to tolerate the arrival of a new child in his new home. He knows what that means and learned his lesson the last time. He doesn’t seem to mind other small calm dogs. He can be a bit ferocious around his food and behind any kind of gate or barrier and needs to be allowed to come to you on his terms not yours. Doxies are royalty 🤴 and he demands to be acknowledged as such- no eye contact when meeting him, he doesn’t have time to chit chat with mere peasants and strangers. He’s got some arthritis in his back legs so no stairs for him, he’s a ramp guy which is better for his doxie back anyway. But otherwise is still pretty spunky and healthy and plans to live a while so please don’t adopt him if procreation is in your 10 year plan. He’s not going to be happy being displaced by a baby yet again.

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.
Meet Buddy.

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.
