My story

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

We have taken in so many new dogs lately we haven’t caught up on introducing them all 🤯

Meet Nellie!

Our nervous Nellie is a 5 year old mix surrendered to animal control. She’s not the friendliest at first meeting and took a bit to warm up to us, but once she feels safe she’s loyal and lovable. We think she’s a doxie/min pin mix with the feisty streak of both breeds, about 12lbs full grown. She’s been ok with most other dogs, and really loves a good soft fluffy bed to curl up and sleep late in. Because of her suspicion of strangers she’s looking for a low-key adult home without too many people coming and going and where she can approach people on her own terms.
Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Nellie 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.
