Story

We have been on a very expensive wild spending spree at the vet this week with lots of new medically-challenged emergency intakes 🤯. Things are bad right now in the shelter/rescue world. Really bad. None of us are ok 😔 We are still catching up on getting to know all our new little friends- some young, many seniors, some likely hospice cases. But all deserving of a fresh start. First up, meet Maya! Her owners were moving that day (of course) and showed up at the pound with this skinny matted blind 10 year old ragamuffin they said was a purebred poodle. She had not been to a vet in a while and was eating well but not gaining weight… her bloodwork and urine test showed she is diabetic! So we are grateful she was surrendered just in time before crashing without treatment. She’s a sweetheart, loves attention and cries to be picked up and put on your bed. A very good girl for her twice daily insulin injections with her meals, goes to the bathroom outside when taken out in time, and is fine with other gentle dogs who won’t get mad if she accidentally bumps into them. She has a libre sensor and we are working on getting her stabilized and regulated and will soon be looking for a permanent home committed to her ongoing care- she is otherwise pretty healthy and happy and hopefully will have many years to be loved and spoiled. Email njwoof@cs.com if you would like to open your home to our sweet Maya Magoo 👀 Your ongoing support during this very difficult time in the world makes a world of difference for special little souls like Maya who would fall through the cracks in the local shelter systems. Thank you for standing with us to be a part of the solution at this critical time 💜 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.

Hunter

Schnauzer (Miniature)

Story

We love a schnauzer, and we love a challenge, so Hunter is lucky he ended up with us! If he had gone to the city shelter as planned, things definitely would not have gone well for him 😞 This 7 year old has been quite a project and we have been working with him behind the scenes for the past few weeks as we try to figure each other out. He came to us a matted terrified screaming snapping mess from a home in the Bronx. They took him in when he was left abandoned tied to a pole a couple years ago but couldn’t really take care of him either. He shut down and starved himself for several days before finally taking some chicken from us- we can usually make friends with even the most aggressive and feral schnauzers pretty quickly but he has been most challenging by far that we have ever had. We had to have him completely sedated to be shaved and he wouldn’t let us pet him for weeks, but he finally is starting to trust and give us a happy greeting and letting us pet his head and shaved-off whiskers. His saving grace is that he’s more comfortable with dogs than people and has even started playing and flirting with them, so he’s finally learning we aren’t so scary if the other dogs like us. He’s gentle and sweet with dogs of all sizes so we know despite the fierce show he puts on toward people, deep down he’s not a bad guy, just terrified and has been let down by humans over and over again. We still can’t pick him up and petting has to be on his terms, and he panics about leashes/collars going over his head but we will continue to go at his pace and on his terms. He is still very much a work in progress but we see a lot of potential in him and he’s much more relaxed and happy around the other dogs at least so we will continue to give him time to figure out his place in the world. If you also love a project schnauzer, have a friendly dog or pack of dogs, and would be interested in giving him unconditional love (at a distance to start), respect, and understanding for life, please reach out to us at njwoof@cs.com. Until then he will remain in foster with us in Northern NJ as we continue to work to earn his trust and we will continue to post updates on this scared little boy 💜 When you support our rescue, in addition to helping the many sweet adoption-ready dogs we take in get vet care to prepare them for homes, you also help us give the gift of time, space, and acceptance to some of the most traumatized little dogs like Hunter. Dogs who have been disappointed, abused, neglected, or misunderstood and aren’t quite ready for society, but are just as deserving of a second chance 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.

Freddie

Schnauzer (Miniature) Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier

Male, 2 yrs 2 mos

Oak Ridge, NJ

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Freddie! This adorable tiny schnauzer wannabe was surrendered with another dog due to housing issues. He’s about 2-3 years old and 10lbs full grown, said to be some kind of rat terrier mix but definitely has the schnauzerly eyes of love. He’s a very timid little guy, panics and doesn’t know what to do on a leash or outside and we suspect the dogs were just being kept crated and hidden in the apartment and never socialized or taken outside. He greets other dogs happily but prefers his own eating space, and would like a doggie sister to live with to help boost his confidence. Housebreaking will likely take some patience- he’s not a “move right in like he’s always lived there” type of dog and expect he will need some time and work to get comfortable, but we can see there’s a sweet dog behind the cowering and fear.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

** Current Location: in a foster home in South Korea ** • Personality: She's sociable and energetic. She adapts to new places right away and loves to reach out to new people and friends she meets. She knows how to say hello to familiar people and friends. She loves to play with other dogs and loves to play with people. She picks up on new training quickly, so we think she would make a great dog for a family with a good understanding and training knowledge of dogs. She's a bit of a sneaky prankster right now, so she can get into trouble, but she's affectionate, gentle, and full of energy. • Affinity with -Cats:She is currently living with cats in a temporary foster home. She is not aggressive with cats, but she is very interested in them, so if you have a cat that likes dogs, she would be fine. -Dogs: She is currently living with the dogs in her foster home without any issues. They play well with each other, are socialized, and warm up quickly to new dogs they meet. -Adults/Kids: She is very fond of people and loves to be petted. She warms up quickly to people she meets for the first time. • Shedding: Moderate. There is shedding in certain periods. Her fur is best brushed daily with a silicone brush. • Walking Manner: She loves to go for walks, both familiar and new, and prefers to take fast, wide, territorial walks (rather than slow, sniffing the trails). He also loves to run in the park, but will sometimes try to run outside if there is no fence. she is fast and has a lot of energy, so she loves to run around in large parks and meet people and dogs. she also loves to go for walks in the mountains, but she has a hunting instinct and is interested in small snakes, rodents, and birds. • Housetrained: She goes potty on pee pads and highly prefers to go outside. She can chew on wood and plastic furniture and will grab small items that fall on the floor and play with them. She's very playful and will run around with you if you have a like-minded friend in the house. • Separation Anxiety: She's always been around other dogs, so we can't confirm, but we think she'll be fine on her own. • Bark or Howl: She barks briefly when she hears strangers outside. There is no howl • Carsickness: She had drooling at first, but now she rides well.

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Rocco! This special complicated little guy is about 4 years old, less than 15lbs and some type of floofy terrier/poodle type mix we are guessing. He may bark and put on a tough act when meeting new people, but is lovable and happy once he bonds and loves walks and car rides with his favorite staff. He prefers to dine alone and is looking for a calm adult home with people who will give him his space and let him come over for attention on his terms. He was never socialized with other dogs either and will loudly try to scare them away first before they can scare him. Medically, he's also a complicated little dude. His owners never brought him to a vet, even when he had a severe back injury and was temporarily paralyzed. Luckily with rest he was able to mostly recover on his own from a suspected disc injury, but is still a bit ataxic and wobbly in his hind legs. He does best walking on grass and softer surfaces with traction, and shouldn't be allowed to jump on and off furniture or do stairs as there is more of a change of re-injuring his back. He's had some GI issues on and off as well and was diagnosed with IBD after an endoscopy and GI biopsies: he's doing much better on a strict prescription diet and medications now and is well-managed We know this guy isn't an easy sell... he's not perfect, but the bond that comes with taking the time to get to know and love quirky little dogs like him is extra meaningful. If you can be that special person for Rocco, please submit an application to meet him Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Grey Age: 5yrs 3mths 2wks
