Story
Zee, a working girl that was recently retired, is a precious little female Maltese that LOVES to snuggle. Her date of birth is 5/15/19. She was obese when rescued and needed to lose a couple of pounds before her spay so that it would be less traumatic for her. She is now spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and microchipped. On 7/1/24 she weighed 10.4 pounds which is a healthy weight for her. Zee is being fostered in Arkansas. Her adoption donation is $1000 plus an additional $165 transport fee. She can walk on a leash but much prefers to be carried, like the little diva that she is. If you would like to give this little girl a fairytale retirement forever home, please complete the first step in the adoption process by filling out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. href="http://dhd.coffeecup.com/forms/bhsapp/">You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application, please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer will contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.

Story
Meet AJ! This almost 9 year old Maltese was recently surrendered through absolutely no fault of his own and is a bit confused but sweet, fine with other dogs, and a little over 10lbs. His owner didn’t believe in vaccines so hadn’t brought him to a vet since 2017. He has some pretty awful painful ear infections that have been going on untreated for a while and we are working on getting him feeling better soon. Otherwise he seems to be in pretty good health overall and only really middle aged for a little guy, and we hope he will have another good 9 years in his new home. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet AJ 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
Biggs is looking for his furever home!   Biggs is an absolutely adorable ~1 year old maltese mix. He is a spunky guy and gets along great with his foster sister an 8 month old puppy. He is very playful, and loves attention, but can be mischievous. He is very curious and will investigate everything. He would love a playmate that can handle his high energy. He loves to cuddle with you. He is ok with being alone with his sibling(s) for a couple hours. He doesn't do well being completely alone. He would do best with a family that had someone home most of the time.  He prefers to sleep in the room with you or with the other dog(s) in the home. He will follow you everywhere you go. Don't let his size fool you, he is a good climber and jumper. He is pee pad trained. He does bark some. His foster family is working on some basic obedience commands, so far he knows down and come. He will listen to no and stop sometimes so still working on that and sit. He does do some playful biting. He is not cat or kid tested.  He is up to date on his vaccines and is neutered. If you think you can be Biggs forever family, please apply: https://peytonsplaceanimalrescue.org/adoption-application/ ##2121495##

Story
This little girl is Lelo! She is 15 weeks old and about 10 lbs. She is a Maltese mix who will most likely be about 20-25 lbs as an adult. She has soft silky fur and an energetic personality. She is UTD on vaccines and crate trained in her foster home. She gets along well with everyone she has met and would do great with another friendly small dog. She needs someone who can continue her training and socialization. She is not 100% housebroken, but is learning! Very smart and very cute! Preference given to those with small breed experience. If you are interested in adopting, please submit an online Adoption Application: https://bridges2safety.wufoo.com/forms/bridges-to-safety-adoption-application/ If you experience any problems with the form or have questions, call Ellen at (732) 859-8915 or email us at bridgesdogsmail@gmail.com .

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Rosie & Yoda are a very sweet couple that were abandoned by their family but luckily haven't missed a beat being loved and cared for by their amazing foster family. Rosie is likely a Maltese/Poodle mix and at 2 1/2 years old, is a complete cuddle bug who loves every bit of attention she receives from humans and dogs alike. Yoda is about 1 year old and what a fun and playful little guy he is.  He is likely a Shih Tzu and just loves to play and also enjoys all the attention he gets from his family. They are both learning to walk on a leash and becoming housebroken.  They get along very well with dogs of all sizes. We are looking for one family that will love both of these dogs so they can remain together. If you are interested in Rosie and Yoda submit an application with any questions at www.njshpetrescue.org Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 24, 2024, 7:15 am
