Story
Meet Habbibi! Habbibi is a 3-month-old male chihuahua mix with a big personality packed into a tiny body. Weighing just 8 poundsright now, he’s expected to be around 25 pounds full grown—a perfect small-to-medium size companion. Habbibi was found wandering the streets of Puerto Rico with his sibling, and despite his rough start, he is a happy, playful, and affectionate little guy. He has a funny, charming personality and the cutest ears that give him constant “did you see that?” expressions. He does great with other dogs, cats, and kids, making him a wonderful fit for many types of homes. Habbibi loves to play, cuddle, and follow his people around, always ready to make you smile. If you’re looking for a sweet, silly puppy with tons of love to give, Habbibi is ready to be your new best friend. From Habbibi's foster: "Meet this sweet, lovable puppy who’s ready to steal your heart! Almost fully potty trained on wee-wee pads and doing great indoors—outdoor potty training will come later once the weather warms up. This little one is wonderful with other dogs, cats, and children, making him a perfect fit for a variety of homes. Playful and fun when it’s time to romp, but just as happy to curl up for snuggles and naps. Not a big barker, which is a bonus! Already knows how to sit and is currently learning how to give paw. Shows no aggression with toys or bones and has a gentle, easygoing personality. A perfect mix!" Apply for Habbibi here:   https://form.jotform.com/91758283848171 February 2, 2026, 11:54 am

Story
The volume of discarded seniors entering NJ’s shelter system is sad and alarming. Pippy is one of our newest arrival. She was curled up in a sad scared cranky ball in the back of her kennel at our local Animal Control facility surrounded by large barking dogs. She’s severely overweight at 18lbs when she should be more like 12, and she gets out of breath easily with even short walks. She was blind in one eye which was painful and uncomfortable due to severe untreated, chronic dry eye as well as glaucoma, so we made the decision with our vet that removal would be the best option to help her feel better. She’s healing nicely and warming up, she’s a chihuahua so can be snarky with strangers and doesn’t like to be bothered when she’s comfy in her bed, but getting a bit happier each day. And she only has bottom teeth remaining after her dental so isn’t particularly scary. Getting gummed to death by an obese one-eyed pirate 🏴‍☠️ Chihuahua isn’t much of a threat. She’s fine with other mellow little dogs and definitely knows her own chihuahua kind, a funny but lovable little personality if you understand chi culture and customs. She’s at least 10 years old and overall in pretty good health now that her untreated eye and dental situation have been taken care of and she’s already lost 2lbs on her diet! Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Pippy in Northern NJ. Pippy is just the latest in a long line of local seniors we have taken in suffering from chronic painful medical issues that need immediate medical attention to give them a better quality of life. Please consider a donation so we can continue to step up week after week for these little ones in need in our local shelters. 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 Lady Dolly 👑 of the County of Morris, New Jersey Descended from ancient Chihuahua royalty, Lady Dolly is looking for a home to respect- no, worship- her and listen to her edicts and demands. She is smarter and better than you and other dogs and her wishes need to be carried out without argument. She does readily accept bribes - squeaky toys will get you somewhere but you are going to want to arm yourself with the yummiest of treats if you really want her to seriously consider your request to cooperate. Otherwise she does what she wants and you better not challenge or interrupt that, or prepare to feel the wrath of thousands of years of chihuahua rage channeled through her 10lbs body. She likes hanging out with her subjects, but you are going to have to submit a formal request in writing before petting her especially if she’s on her throne/couch/bed and expect to wait 2-5 business days for an answer. Better yet, just wait for her to request your attention when she feels like it. She is quite confident in her natural beauty and isn’t going to let you give her a manicure 💅 or dress her in clothes. And she is a mature adult who can walk perfectly well on her own 4 feet so isn’t going to submit to being carried around like a baby just because she’s the size of one. She keeps her palace clean as long as you open the doors for her upon demand, and she can handle her own security loudly if the villagers make it past the moat around her home without needing to wait for a doorbell. She doesn’t mind other dogs as long as they too bow down 🙇 to her and don’t try to steal her throne or disrespect her. She rose to power at a young age, and at 5 years old she still has many years to run her run her new kingdom. If you would like Lady Dolly to consider your request to rule your castle, please email njwoof@cs.com to see if she will accept your offer. 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.

Story
Meet Linda! She’s a complicated little big dog with a complicated history with us. We have known her for a while and assisted her owners with getting her spayed when she almost died from a uterine infection, but now it became clear they weren’t able to care for her longterm. She came to us sick with some gi issues and morbidly obese at a whopping 33lbs! The photos don’t do justice to just how wide she was 🐳. She would turn blue and struggle to breathe just getting to the yard to go to the bathroom and back in. She was discovered to be hypothyroid which was a big part of the issue, and with a strict diet and her magic daily thyroid pills the pounds are melting off now and she’s feeling much better already. She’s just as complicated personality wise- definitely a chihuahua attitude and doesn’t like strangers, being picked up, or anyone sticking their hands in her face. She has to come to you for attention on her terms though she’s warmed up and follows us around wagging her tail now. But she’s not a touchy-feely cuddly, overly affectionate dog. She’s fine with other dogs and chill hanging with a pack of little ones, definitely better dog skills than people skills just like us. She’s 9 years old and pretty healthy overall now besides the weight and the thyroid, and she should have a long life ahead of her as long as she continues to keep the weight off. She’s looking for an adult home that will just let her be herself and doesn’t mind some snark and being told off sometimes.

Story
Allergic to cats but always dreamed of adopting one? Here is your perfect feral street cat in a dog’s body! Moe is a middle aged chi mix who originally came from a hoarding situation where he was clearly never ever touched. Probably even by his owner. He’s been in a great foster for a while and has made tremendous progress, but he needs someone who will accept him for who he is, and will probably never be the type of dog who will run over asking to be picked up and cuddled or greeting strangers at the door happily. Well, maybe 10 years from now when he’s blind, deaf, and arthritic he won’t mind being held and cuddled, but he’s a long way off from that. He thrives on routine and following his “pack” of doggie friends around. He actually seems to prefer the man of the house and will finally lay by him and allow some petting, but is still terrified of being leashed and most handling. He runs around happily wagging his tail, playing with the other dogs and loves his life as long as his limits are respected and is hoping to find a permanent pack where the dogs outnumber the humans in the household and he won’t be under pressure to conform to societal norms of how a dog should act. If you too would rather be surrounded by dogs than people, and don’t mind having another little furry member following you around at snack time and watching the world go by perched on your couch, email njwoof@cs.com to meet Moe 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.

Story
Sweet Brody is a 7-year-old, 15-pound bundle of love looking for his forever home. He was recently surrendered to us when his owner could no longer take care of him properly — so Brody has found his way to us in search of a new beginning. This adorable little guy is full of personality! He’s a fun, spunky, and affectionate boy who loves attention and enjoys being around people. Brody gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is great with kids. We’re not sure how he feels about cats just yet. He’s also housetrained, walks nicely on leash, and has that perfect mix of playful energy and easygoing charm. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood or cuddling on the couch, Brody is happiest when he’s by your side. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who will fill your days with joy and love, Brody might just be the perfect match. Brody is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives.  His adoption fee is $415.  Apply for Brody today at www.ehrdogs.org.
