Gena is an 8-month-old Chihuahua who approaches life with curiosity, confidence, and just the right amount of sass. One minute she’s investigating every corner like a little detective, the next she’s looking for affection and attention from her favorite humans. Still very young, Gena is learning the world around her and would love a home ready to guide her through puppyhood while appreciating all the charm packed into her tiny frame.

Story
Checking in with Angus! We have been getting to know our tiniest little charge the last few weeks. And beneath the terror and defensive show he puts on, we have found… a real chihuahua 😈. An angry feisty little guy who would take over the world if he wasn’t only 6lbs with very few teeth left. Angry Angus was the last of the Sussex County dumped dogs at one of the local animal control facilities when we were asked to take him. All the others were adopted or taken in by other rescues. But we were the only ones brave/stupid/masochistic enough to give this tiny guy a chance. He’s full of chihuahua snark and tries to stand up for himself to protect his food and space and keep people from touching him. But once “caught” and wrapped in a towel, he loses his fight, and we swear we have even seen him start to lean in and enjoy a good neck scratch though he will never admit that he actually likes it. Food is the way to his heart and he looks hopeful whenever the fridge is opened and takes treats nice and gently now as we work to convince him that humans can be good, or at least useful. He’s better with dogs than people and would like a home with at least one other little dog companion to cuddle. He needs a veteran chihuahua person willing to go slow in earning his trust and accept him for who he is while working to help him become the best version of himself… within reason. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Angry Angus 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.

Story
Meet Otis(formerly Peanut) — a lovable, energetic Chihuahua mix looking for his perfect forever home! We initially were going to adopt him for our home but he needs a larger space Otis is full of personality and loves to play, explore, and be outside. He would thrive in a home with space to run around and burn off some of his puppy energy. Whether it’s playing with toys, going for walks, or hanging out in the yard, Otis is always ready for fun. Once playtime is over, he’s more than happy to curl up beside you for snuggles and relaxation. He also enjoys spending time in his crate with his favorite toys and treats, making it a comfortable little space of his own. Otis is currently working on potty pad training and is doing great with going outside as well. He walks nicely on a leash and enjoys being outdoors. He also gets along well with other dogs and animals. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful companion with lots of love to give, Otis may be the perfect addition to your family!

Story
Money’s a 4yo 13lb Chi mix. He’s dog, cat and kid friendly. He’s house and crate trained. He’s good in a secure fenced in yard and/or going for harnessed leashed walks. He loves to play with toys, other dogs and his people. He is the sweetest little dog with the biggest heart. He is incredibly affectionate, loves to cuddle, and always wants to be close to his people. He loves every person he comes across. His favorite thing is simply being included in whatever is going on, whether it’s relaxing on the couch, going for a ride or spending time outside. Money’s foster requires a home, where someone is home often, so not to be left for long periods of time, or can take with them, another dog and/or kids would be a plus, along with leadership, consistency, structure and to continue working on training. If your home DOES NOT meet these requirement’s please DO NOT put an application in. We will not call anyone whose home does not meet the needed requirements. Also, we will be concentrating on local to foster applications 1st since home checks and meets with all humans and animals in home is needed at meet. Our fosters are all volunteers so aren’t always able to travel too far. Money as all dogs should have at least 2 weeks in their new home with just their people who live in the home and to not have people over for at least 2 weeks. Dogs need time to settle in and adjust to their new people and environment first so they can learn to trust them first. Money’s neutered, vaccinated, HW negative and microchipped. Currently in Folsom, PA. If your home meets the needed requirements and you’re interested in applying to adopt please do so at www.tprescue.org

Story
What’s worse than someone abandoning their little dog in a crate to fend for himself? Abandoning TWO little dogs in a crate to fend for themselves 😖 Luckily these 2 adorable boys (brothers?) were found and brought to safety in time, and are still happy and trusting. They say living well is the best revenge? Well, let’s help them find the best home ever together to really stick it to the person who dumped them 😤 They are the cutest oddest looking couple of scruffs, social happy little ones that stick together and crave human attention. Elf is not even 8 lbs with the coolest Mohawk and elfin big ears🧝 His “big brother” Elmer Fuzz is not even 10lbs and has a cool two-tone fur hat and random fuzzy puffs mixed in with his blackish silky hair. We are going to guess they are chi/poodle/maybe Yorkie mix of some sort, seem to be about 4 years old and ready to bring an instant sense of family to whomever adopts them. They sleep together, eat together, and follow each other. Little Elf is the protector who will chase away bigger dogs and defend his brother, while Elmer Fuzz is more chill and just along for the ride. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Elf and Elmer Fuzz 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.
