Story

Max is 12 years old. We had him since he was 8weeks. He’s a loving & quiet dog, all he wants is love. & he loves when we rub his belly with our foot. Lol. I had him from Atlanta where he was born & moved to NY. I’m in an apartment & the owner said no dogs. Plus I’m getting very busy where it’s hard leaving max home for hours by himself. He needs a loving family who will be there for him. So far no medical issues. His last visit was February of this year 2026

Story

Meet Olaf, a 2-year-old, handsome Maltese mix boy weighing approximately 13 pounds and just the sweetest little guy on the planet. Olaf came from a heartbreaking hoarding and neglect case after his owners were arrested, but you would never know it from his gentle, loving personality. This adorable little guy loves giving hugs, snuggling close, and soaking up attention from his people. He’s great with small and medium-sized dogs and enjoys playing, although he likes to act like a tough guy when the bigger dogs are around!Olaf is crate trained and is doing a great job learning his housebreaking skills despite the difficult start he had in life. With a little patience and consistency, he’ll continue to thrive.If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who will happily curl up in your lap after a day of fun, then Olaf is ready to do just that. We want him to have a much happier and normal family in the many many years to come. He is young, he is ready to look at his past from the rearview mirror and ride off into the sunset with a great family.

Glinda

Maltese/Morkie

Female, 2 yrs

Oak Ridge, NJ

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Story

Meet Glinda the good witch 🧙‍♀️ 🪄 She was dropped at animal control waving her very own pink sparkly magic wand 🪄 Ok it was actually an old eyelash wand that has been rolled around matted in her hair for a while. But it was pink and sparkly 🤷‍♀️ That was a new one even for us. We have found a lot of things stuck in mats on dogs but this was dangling pretty obviously noticeable and easily removable if anyone had actually petted her or paid any attention to her at all 😳 She is a tiny 2 year old Maltese mix, maybe with Yorkie or Chihuahua, not even 7lbs full grown. She does not have non-shedding that should have needed much grooming other than some trims and combing out, but managed to have quite a few decent gross dreadlocks and matts hanging off that needed to be trimmed. She’s a little timid but sweet, seems used to wee wee pads and dances around to be picked up. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Glinda in Northern NJ. She’s been spayed, updated on shots, and her wand detached 🪄 for now. If it somehow finds its way back into her hair, then it truly is magic 😆 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.
