This Shih Tzu on steroids (actually literally right now for her itchy skin) was a whopping 27lbs on arrival but is quickly shedding the extra pounds on her crash diet. She was abandoned in rough shape with severely itchy untreated skin and ear infections as well as chronic dry eye- she was basically a bright red mess when she was brought to the county shelter. She’s about 8 years old according to her unregistered microchip and a very very sweet girl with a cute happy personality. She’s ok with other calm dogs but keeps to herself around them. She loves people and has been a good girl for her medicated baths and eye drops which she will need longterm. She likes car rides and walkies, loves food of course, and is an all around nice little companion for someone who will stay on top of her allergies and weight loss.

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.

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.
