My story

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

Meet Rico!

Yet another super senior surrendered when his owner was moving. This 15 year old chiweenie is confused but friendly, likes other dogs and has lived with cats, and still seems in pretty good shape for an old man. He seems to have some possible hearing and vision loss and is in his own world a bit until he gets his bearings but still likes his walks, goes to the bathroom outside, and eats well. At his age there is no time to waste and we would love to get this mellow unassuming guy into a permanent home asap!

Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Rico 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.
