My name is Mouse!

Meet Mouse 🐭

She’s celebrating her 3rd birthday on 3/29, and we are hoping she will be in her forever home by then!

Another of the shy but sweet little mixed breeds from a home with too many dogs due to lack of spay/neuter, she’s the fluffiest and looks like a maltipoo, though they are supposed to be a mix of doxie, poodle, terrier, and Shih tzu. She’s 11lbs full grown and now has been spayed and updated on shots. Like most dogs from hoarding cases, she will need some patience getting used to new people and places, learning to walk on leash, and adjusting to the world outside of the only home she ever knew. She loves other dogs and looks to them for reassurance, and will need a home with at least one other compatible dog friend in the home to help her adjust.

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.
