We have a transport where we will be personally taking our dogs to their new home leaving by January 9th 2026 (could be sooner!) to the east coast from where we are located here in Southern California. Surrounding states will be added to our route as needed ☺️ We would love to add Benny to our trip for the right home/homes! As always for our adopters peace of mind we never ask for anything up front! His adoption fee, along with his adopting families share of travel costs will be due the day we arrive in person with Benny ultimately finalizing his adoption. Meet Benny 💙 Some puppies simply have “it” — that gentle spark, that intuitive sweetness, that soft, loving presence that wraps around you the moment they crawl into your arms. Benny is one of those rare little souls. Even at such a young age, he carries a calm confidence and an emotional awareness that feels far beyond his months. He came to us from a home where he was deeply loved and spoiled in the best ways, and you can feel that history in how connected he is to people. The devotion he offers is pure, immediate, and full-hearted. His journey to us was a tender one. His prior owner adored him and struggled tremendously with the decision to surrender him. A sudden breakup and the need to return to full-time work meant Benny would no longer have the companionship he was accustomed to — and she knew that wouldn’t be fair to him. She chose the selfless path, asking us to take him in and ensure he found a home where he could continue to be someone’s whole world. Because that is exactly what Benny is meant to be: a true companion, a shadow, a love-at-your-side kind of dog. He is incredibly smart — shockingly so for his age — and don’t let his size fool you. When you call “Benny!”, you hear his little paws pattering toward you from wherever he is, bursting with excitement just to be close. His heart lives for connection. And he is doing phenomenal at his house training — truly remarkable for a puppy his age. He goes outside every couple of hours to use the restroom, and due to his tiny size, he is always supervised for his safety. He’s attentive, willing, and eager to learn, which makes him such a joy in a structured home. He is a snuggler to his core, happiest pressed against your chest or curled at your side. Sleeping in bed with his person is one of the joys of his life, so if dogs in the bed aren’t your thing, he may not be the right fit. His previous owner let him be her cuddle buddy, and that comfort has shaped who he is. He’s the kind of dog who wants to wake up with his head on your pillow and fall asleep knowing you’re right there. Crates, though, are not his preference. We believe it’s the feeling of confinement — after being so bonded to his person his whole life, he simply doesn’t understand being separated or closed away. He isn’t destructive, and he isn’t mischievous; he just thrives when he’s near the people he loves. Being kept apart feels foreign to him, and we want to honor the emotional safety he has built through closeness, not separation. He LOVES his beds — so much so that we keep one in every space he spends time in. He’ll flop into them dramatically, roll on his back, or tuck himself in like a tiny burrito. In the car, he enjoys looking out the window, taking in the world with those big expressive eyes. And at the groomer? He’s an absolute dream. Being pampered suits him, and he handles grooming like a seasoned professional. Leash training hasn’t begun yet, as we needed to make sure all his vaccines were fully current before introducing him to the outside world. Now that he’s officially cleared, his new world is opening up — and with his eager-to-please personality, we have no doubt he’ll take to leash training beautifully and naturally. On the health side, Benny was born 5/22/25 and is completely current on everything age-appropriate. He has had a great full exam with our vet, is microchipped, has had his deworming based on fecal results sent to the lab, and is going home with a health certificate showing he has been fully cleared for adoption. He weighs 5.5 lbs currently and is expected to be around 10–12 lbs full grown. He is a purebred Maltese, and everything about him — his coat, his temperament, his expression — reflects the sweetness and refinement of his breed. Because he is still so young, he will be going home on a neuter contract, as it is important to allow him time to grow and mature before being fixed. What Benny needs most is someone who truly wants a companion. Someone who loves a dog that follows them from room to room, listens for their voice, and melts into their lap the moment they sit down. He thrives on closeness and emotional connection. He is eager to please, affectionate, and has one of those soft, intuitive personalities that simply makes a home feel warmer. If you’re looking for a sweet soul who will meet you at the door every day with his whole heart shining in his eyes, Benny is waiting for you. His adoption fee is on our website at the bottom of his adoption listing at https://www.breadoflifek9refuge.org/post/benny which covers all of his veterinary care to date (including vaccines, microchip/registration, fecal testing, deworming, his full exam, and his issued health certificate), as well as the months of care, meals, grooming upkeep, and training he has received with us. Every adoption directly supports our ability to continue rescuing and preparing dogs like Benny for the beautiful lives they deserve.

Meet Skippy; a 9.5yr old Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie) mix who will be 10 in January. He reminds his foster family of a sour patch kid; sweet one minute, sour the next. It all depends on what mood Skippy is in & how tired he may be. He absolutely loves his foster momma, but is hesitant of his foster dad. He will allow his foster dad to play ball or throw toys, but hasn’t allowed him to handle him or even pet him. Skippy is good at letting you know if he is okay with things by either allowing it, or, growling, baring teeth or trying to nip. He definitely has a Napoleon complex, aka little dog syndrome, & likes to try to rule the roost. He isn’t allowed to lay on his foster momma’s lap, but instead has his own dog bed he can lay in further down the couch.  Overnight, or when his fosters aren’t home, Skippy is crated. He does very well in the crate & doesn’t make a peep unless he hears something that alarms him. He isn’t allowed to sleep in bed with his foster family due to his potential to bite when moved. To keep Skippy’s bad habits in check, he gets crated.  Skippy is fully potty trained & hasn’t had any accidents! He is leash trained & walks well with a harness. On walks he may act a fool if he sees another dog, but it’s only his false “big man” bravado that comes out, otherwise does his business & walks well.  Skippy is being fostered with other pups, but has only really showed a liking to a couple; small breed, older, submissive, not wanting the spotlight females. He has played outdoors with two of the small breed males, but tends to puff his chest out & act the toughest! Indoors is another story; he doesn’t like them in what he considers his “space” & his Napoleon complex comes out & tries to pick fights. A fence is not required as long as the owner will walk him regularly.  Skippy’s ideal home would be a low traffic one with one or two owners; preferably female. Due to his little dog syndrome he shouldn’t be homed with children. He is cat friendly & doesn’t seem to care about sharing his home with them, or so his foster family was told. Ideally, it would be great for him to be an only dog, but we think he would be okay living with a low key, submissive, older female that isn’t the type to be in his face or push his buttons. Hopefully Skippy’s ideal home is out there & he can bask in all his glory for the rest of his elder years! Skippy is now neutered, up to date with vaccines and microchipped. He did just have a dental in July before coming to us. His adoption fee is $50.00.If you are interested in adopting Skippy,  please visit our website www.lharinc.org go to Adopt and complete the dog adoption application.

Meet Melodie. Melodie is an 8 year old 6lb Maltese rescued from a commercial breeding kennel.  Melodie does fine in her crate. She loves everyone and doesn't hesitate to interact with the dogs in her foster home. She would also be happy as an only dog with a Mom or Dad who is home a lot to cuddle and spoil her. Melodie only has two teeth left after she had her dental so she will to stay on soft food. She's a good eater. In addition to the dental extraction surgery, Melodie also had a mammory tumor removed.  It was sent for biopsy and it was benign thank goodness. Melodie is very fast for her age. She will run off if given the chance. I would suggest an XS harness and leash at all times - even with a fenced-in yard. She could definitely slip through the smallest spot. Melodie lays down in the water while being bathed and doesn't move a muscle while getting her nails done. She likes the hair dryer. After all she has been through Melodie still continued to wag her tail and is the sweetest little dog who deserves a great furever home. She will need work on potty training. Her adoption fee is $250.00.If you are interested in adopting Melodie, please visit our website www.lharinc.org go to Adopt and complete the dog adoption application.

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.
