My name is Leigh!

Meet Leigh!

This adorable little girl will celebrate her 3rd birthday on 3/29 and we are hoping she will be partying in her permanent home 🎉 🥳 🎂

She’s another of the 10 little ones we recently took in from a home with too many dogs to care for. She’s skittish but warming up, food motivated and loves other dogs. We think she looks like a perfect schnauzer/wirehaired doxie cross but she and her relatives are all supposedly a mix of doxie, poodle, Shih tzu, and some type of terrier. She’s 15lbs and in good health, and will be looking for a calm patient adult home with at least one other compatible doggie friend to help her adjust- she would go into complete culture shock if not around other dogs!

Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Leigh 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.
