Pop Quiz ❓ 🤔 Your child “falls” on your dog. The dog is limping and not bearing weight on his back leg, now growling and snapping when touched or approached by the child and when anyone tries to touch his back end, and clearly freaked out and in a lot of pain. Do you A: Bring the dog to the vet immediately for pain medication and x-rays? B: Wait and let him limp around a few days. Then call an extremely full local county shelter with over 100 dogs to immediately surrender him since he’s suddenly become aggressive and the child is now scared to approach him, You probably got the answer wrong. It’s clearly B. A no-brainer of course 🤷‍♀️. Don’t feel bad, we would have answered wrong too 🤣 Well little Poochie was surrendered to us and shockingly we brought him right to the vet. He was even more terrified, an already unsocialized little guy now in severe pain having to be handled by strangers. His x-rays revealed a completely dislocated hip that requires surgery to repair and get him comfortable again. He’s just a baby, purchased from a pet store as a puppy as a “designer” Malshi (Maltese/Shih tzu), 14lbs and just over a year old. He’s very scared and distrustful right now but we are hoping once he is out of pain and gets his bearings in a new place he will learn to trust and be a sweet little guy once again, at least with those he trusts. He’s had his FHO surgery and is recovering nicely and starting to use his leg a little more every day. He’s warmed up to us and is a lovable spunky puppy with those he trusts, but needs time to warm up to strangers. Please consider a donation toward Poochie’s medical bills, a huge unexpected expense but turning this scared injured pup away was not an option for us, and we know we can rely on you, our followers, to help him heal ❤️‍🩹 Email njwoof@cs.com if you have a calm adult home with no “falling” kids and would like to open your home to him once he’s ready 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
For adoption Northern NJ: Looking for a Velcro dog? Hula is your girl! Can’t find her? Look down, she’s probably right there at your feet. Either weaving between your feet, or sitting there staring up at you adoringly with her big brown eyes, or standing on her hind legs trying to get your attention with a dance. This sweetheart is about 2 years old and already had at least one litter of pups. She was found running in the street, and when a neighbor brought her home, the owner didn’t want her back. So she’s on to bigger better things and looking for a responsible home where she’s actually wanted. She’s said to be a maltipoo, is about 10lbs and seems to have a nonshedding coat that needs to be groomed regularly. She’s ok with most dogs but definitely more of a people person. She doesn’t believe in crates and even used her long spider legs to open the door to let herself out of one somehow. She was used to wee wee pads previously but will go outside if taken out as well. But expect some accidents especially if left alone. She prefers a home with someone home more often than not, and definitely wants to sleep in bed and climb on your couches so if you don’t like dogs on the furniture and right in your face she’s not for you.

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.

Story
Little young senior Lulu got some disappointing medical news… the lump she had removed was cancerous 😞 This 8 year old Maltese/chihuahua had never been spayed before, resulting in a small mammary tumor. The good news is she’s spayed now, her chest x-rays showed no sign of any spread, and it was a low grade tumor hopefully caught early enough. But she will need to be monitored for recurrence or spread. She’s otherwise healthy and has been a very sweet little girl once she bonds, but can be distrustful of strangers and protect her person. All 8 pound personal bodyguard of her 🫡 She’s fine with other dogs and looking for an adult home where she will be loved unconditionally for the rest of her life. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Lulu in Northern NJ Meet Lulu! We were told this tiny 8 year old scruffy girl was “not friendly” and she was handed to us muzzled, but as soon as we walked her away from her owner she warmed right up to us and has been a sweetheart ever since! She may show more protective tendencies as she settles in a new home of course, so is looking for a lower key adult home that’s ok with a little feisty side. Once she loves you she loves you unconditionally, asks to be picked up and dances for attention all the time. She’s only 8lbs and said to be a Maltese/chihuahua mix, good with other small dogs and a cuddly loyal little lapdog once she bonds and feels safe.

Story
Henrietta is ready for a home of her own! She’s a fun playful spunky 2 1/2 year old Maltese/terrier mix of some sort who came in matted and infested with fleas and is feeling much better after a shave down and some medicated baths. And of course the fleas are gone 🪦 She’s 14lbs and a lovable kissy playful girl. She likes dogs but can be bossy with them but will play once she puts them in their place. She wasn’t used to leash walking and uses wee wee pads or will go outside in a fenced yard. Henrietta doesn’t seem to be completely non-shedding and would likely not be a good fit for allergy sufferers. She’s been spayed and updated on shots and is ready for adoption meets this weekend!
