My personality

My story

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

There are no holidays in rescue life… dogs don’t care and demand to eat, pee, and play no matter what day it is!

We have been busy getting some of our newest emergency pre-Christmas surrenders settled in foster and recovered from their spay/neuter surgeries… including this sweetheart Shortcake!

She’s an adorable real life Teddy Bear 🧸 (the made up designer name for a Shih Tzu/bichon mix so the pet store can sell them for a higher price 🤦‍♀️). But she barks way more than a stuffed animal and definitely needs more attention and regular grooming. She’s not even 2 years old and has already been through a couple of homes since her initial pet store purchase, most recently due to issues with the landlord. She’s a super sweet outgoing girl who still has puppy energy, craves attention and would love a home with someone around more often than not and will bark and cry at first when crated or left alone. She’s was housebroken in her previous home (though expect accidents with any new dog as they adjust to a new routine), and is a lovely good natured little non-shedding family companion. 14lbs full grown, spayed, updated on shots, and definitely looks more Bichon than Shih tzu.

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.
