At first glance, he seems like a loud, rude, obnoxious jerk. But if you make it past the awful first impression, you will find he can actually be a lovable goofy buffoon and fun to hang out with, and will keep you laughing. There’s definitely room for some character development, especially improvement with impulse control and learning to keep his mouth shut and be less offensive in public. But he probably won’t be the worst dog-boss you have ever had. Just a year old, he was surrendered to animal control for being “too hyper”, definitely still in his puppy phase. He growled at the vet so loudly they couldn’t even listen to his heartbeat and barks ferociously at first with new people, but deep down he’s just nervous and afraid of ending up alone. He’s been fine with other little dogs and they seem to normal him out a bit- he seems like a dog that was taken from his mom way too young and never got enough attention, so he makes sure he’s the center of attention at all times now. He’s only 12lbs, some kind of Shih Tzu mix, is updated on shots and we have had him neutered so he won’t be demanding you to set him up on dates.
Email njwoof@cs.com to meet the Michael Scott of Northern NJ. Applications from Scranton, PA will be given preference😜
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.
