Story

2 more matted scared little flea infested dogs used for breeding and then surrendered to the pound 😔 This 2 1/2 year old brother and sister duo had their most recent litter of pups together about 2 months ago, all given away to likely end up in the same situation as these 2. They were surrendered to a busy inner city pound where they were the smallest dogs there and hiding in the outside part of their kennel. They have never been on a leash and had to be carried out to the car, crawling with tons of live fleas under their mats. Their new names are Henrietta (the bigger one) and Hermes (the little boy). They went right to the vet to get shaved down, spayed/neutered, and updated on shots and will be looking for homes very soon, and we will evaluate whether they are best placed as a pair or would do well separated with another compatible doggie friend. Email njwoof@cs.com if you are interested in meeting any of our dogs 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 Gordon! This scruffy young guy was a “stray” brought to a local inner city shelter, terrified and with painful raw bleeding paws. He was very freaked out and defensive especially being leashed at first but has warmed up into a cute lovable little terrier who asks to be picked up once he trusts you. He’s definitely an insecure anxious baby boy and still has his panicky moments, and needs a calmer adult home that won’t force him into situations that are too much for him and give him time and space to feel safe. He’s only 1-2 years old, 10lbs, some kind of scruffy Maltese/terrier mix but doesn’t have a non-shedding coat so just a quick comb out and trim here and there are all he needs. He’s ok with other little dogs but gets scared of them too if they come on too strong. He seems to have been wee wee pad trained and we suspect didn’t get out in the world too much so will need to be slowly socialized in a positive way.

House-trained,

Story

FOX is a handsome Maltese who needs rehoming due to his living conditions. He needs to be the only dog and no children of any age. He has never been socialized with other dogs or cats. Would probably be okay with a single person or family experienced with this type of personality and behavior. If you think you are a match for FOX contact wilmasorphans@hotmail.com.August 17, 2026, 10:11 am

Story

OLD LADY ALERT!!!Maggie came into the shelter as a surrender after being dumped as a vets office. She needed some TLC when she came in and got a shave down. She does have some medical challenges. As you can see, she has double cherry eye, but they don`t appear to be interfering with her vision or causing discomfort. She has arthritis in her back legs that make her a bit stiff walking but managed with pain meds. This girl isn`t ready to throw in the towel, but she does need a home that understands seniors. Sometimes she is cranky and wants to be left alone. She has been in foster and done very well. She does tend to guard her bed so getting her to get up and move can be a bit of a risky maneuver, but her foster mom has discovered she can be bribed with a treat. She also uses a treat for her meds, and it works great. Maggie hasn`t met a treat she didn`t love! She is staying in a home with other dogs and has only had one issue which was basically a quick back and forth then forgotten. She is a good old girl that deserves a home to live out her days/years in love and understanding. If you think you`re the one to give her this incredible gift, please don`t delay. Let`s get the best days of her life started!
