Story
Meet Ghost, a three-year-old Maltese and Dachshund mix with tons of energy and an even bigger heart. Ghost is incredibly friendly, loves attention, and gets along great with other dogs, making him a wonderful companion for an active household. His current family adores him, but with a newborn baby now taking up their time and attention, they simply can’t give Ghost the training and care he deserves, particularly with potty training, which is still a work in progress. Ghost isn’t looking for a home because he’s unwanted, he’s looking for a home that can give him the time, patience, and love he truly deserves.

Story
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. 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.
