Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Buttercup is an adorable pup who is looking for a new home. She is currently with one of our sister rescues in Louisiana but hoping to come to NJ soon with an approved foster or adopter. Buttercup’s story almost didn’t have the happy turn it deserved—but thanks to a compassionate shelter volunteer and our incredible rescue partners, this little girl got her second chance. Buttercup is a 13-pound Pekingese/Beagle mix with a heart just as soft as her name. She was on her way to a rural shelter alongside her older sibling, Daisy, when someone stepped in and made sure she’d have a brighter future. Now, she’s ready to find a forever home of her own. This sweet girl is the perfect blend of affectionate and playful. She loves being close to her people, happily soaking up attention, but also has just the right amount of spunk to keep you smiling. Buttercup is wonderful with other dogs and adores people of all ages, including kids, making her an easy addition to many different types of homes. At just 13 pounds, she’s the ideal size for apartment or condo living—and she won’t get any bigger. She’s already leash-trained and crate-trained, making her an easy, low-stress companion to welcome into your life. If you’re looking for a loving little dog who will happily be your shadow, your cuddle buddy, and your daily dose of joy, Buttercup is ready to meet you. Apply to adopt Buttercup and give this deserving girl the forever home she’s been waiting for. Buttercup is fixed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. Her adoption donation is $600.  Adopting an animal is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these animals have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 1, 2026, 7:28 pm

Story
Milo is a friendly 12 year old surrendered due to his owner's failing health. Sadly, Milo's own health has been neglected for quite a while as well, and he's been suffering from painful itchy skin infections all over his body, ear infections, and untreated chronic dry eye. He's seen our vet for a full work up and is on a regimen of medications, medicated baths, and longterm eye drops and will need someone to stay on top of his treatments longterm so he's not suffering. He looks to be a shih tzu/peke mix as far as we can tell, overweight at 24lbs. He's not happy about being picked up but otherwise a social nice guy, good with other gentle dogs and already feeling better and happier since starting treatment. Please submit an application to meet this sweet senior Primary Color: Tan Age: 12yrs 0mths 2wks

Story
Yo-Yo has had a rough few weeks since coming to us but is finally starting to relax. This 3 year old was surrendered because he was being left along 14+ hours a day and no one had any time for him. He had a cherry eye and matted dreadlocks hanging from him, and was terrified and clearly not used to much handling. He’s never been on a leash (or when he was something bad definitely happened) and absolutely HATES them- as soon as he even sees a leash coming near him he instantly panics and try to bite to get it off of him. Without the leash he lets us pick him up easily and dances around for attention. He had a cherry eye repair and wasn’t happy about the cone on his neck or the vet staff or us trying to do eye drops while he was recovering, but now all has been forgiven since he is recovered. But he’s not the type of dog that really wants any one in his face too much or picking at him and will probably need sleepytime meds for grooming in the future. He seems to be some kind of Maltese/peke/Shih Tzu mix, under 15lbs and not a completely nonshedding coat so at least he doesn’t have to be groomed quite as often. He likes other dogs and follows them in and out of the fenced yard easily; while we don’t require it for all dogs, little Yo-Yo definitely needs offense due to his intense dislike of leashes at this point. He’s looking for an adult home that understands weird little dogs who don’t want to be messed with and will let him come for attention on his terms. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Yo-Yo 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
●Rescue Story Jjajang was rescued from the euthanasia list at Jeongeup City Shelter. Thanks to timely intervention, he was given a second chance at life and moved into a foster home, where he has been able to decompress and show his true, gentle personality. ●Temperament & Behavior Jjajang is a calm and sensitive dog who prefers a peaceful environment. He does not enjoy overly energetic or pushy dogs, regardless of their size. He may be able to coexist with another dog who has low energy or shows little interest in him, but he may be happiest as the only dog in the home. When he feels bothered, he communicates clearly by giving a soft growl as a “please stop” signal. His compatibility with cats has not yet been tested. With people, Jjajang is initially cautious. Sudden approaches or reaching out to touch him can be scary for him. However, if someone sits calmly nearby, he will often approach on his own and quietly ask for affection with gentle eye contact. ●Walking & Daily Life At first, Jjajang appeared timid on walks, but with consistent leash training, he now walks nicely beside his handler and matches their pace well. If startled, he may briefly crouch, but sitting down and softly calling his name helps him recover quickly. He loves sniffing during walks and is not food-driven outdoors. He navigates stairs well and is not significantly bothered by traffic noise. His shedding level is moderate, around 5 out of 10. He has no food allergies and is not a picky eater. ●Habits & Training Jjajang uses indoor pee pads reliably (100%) and also goes potty outdoors about 50% of the time. He accepts baths and brushing calmly without resistance. He does not have separation anxiety and is comfortable spending time alone. He is not a barker and remains quiet in the home. He rides well in the car and does not appear to experience motion sickness. ●Likes & Personality Jjajang is not particularly interested in toys and prefers quiet time resting on his own rather than high-energy play. He is easily startled by sudden approaches but becomes very affectionate once trust is built. He is currently living in a foster home.
