Story
Meet Lizard who came to NorthStar along with 6 siblings when his former owners became homeless. All the others have since been adopted but poor Lizard still waits for his forever home. Lizard is a Shih Tzu mix, approximately 1 year old, and weighing just 11 pounds. Lizard does have some “quirks” we think you should know about. He has a very mild case of cherry eye. The vet has checked him out and it does not affect his vision or his tear ducts and is not bothersome at all to him. In fact, his eyesight is perfect! We believe that Lizard’s former owners had their dogs using wee wee pads and they probably had accidents with that many dogs in the house. When he came to NJ, Lizard was very skeptical about grass! But through time and a big doggie sister, he learned to accept and even like it and finally is housebroken for the most part. He sometimes has an accident in the house so it’s best to keep a weewee pad out. Recently he started going potty in his bed and in his crate when it contained blankets. If we remove the bedding from the crate & leave out a wee wee pad, he does better. Occasionally we put him in diapers - The goal is to make him dislike wearing them so much that he only goes outside. So far so good as no accidents in 2 weeks! Lizard would do best in a home without children or possibly children over 10 years old as he has been fearful of sudden movements and has shown he is willing to go after a child but not an adult. He currently has a human sibling who he has grown to love and not want to attack at any movement made. Ideally, Lizard would be best in a home without kids.   Though out in public Lizard may seem fearful of other dogs, he is just fine living with them – check out the photos of Lizard with other dogs and with cats, too. He can get jealous but easily overcomes that in less than 48 hours! We feel that Lizard would also be happy in a home where he was an “only dog”. When Lizard was in a foster home in Texas, he was afraid of larger cats. However, he is good with and enjoys the company of smaller cats as you can see in his photos. He will actually groom them and sleep with them. As Lizard is only a year old, there is some puppy energy but he does tire quickly so it’s short lived. He is a Netflix and chill type of dude! And above all he is very cuddly and will fall asleep in your arms like a baby if given the opportunity! Lizard has been neutered, microchipped and brought up to date on vaccines. The adoption fee for this boy is $425. If you are interested in meeting Lizard please consider submitting an adoption application and be sure to mention his name - HC Lizard TX!!!!November 10, 2024, 3:07 pm

Meet Gizmo Giblet! 6 years old and 14lbs. This adorable pup prefers to be the only child so a home with human kids will not be considered for his adoption. Gizmo is the dog for you if you’re looking for a boy that wants to be beside you, no matter what! You understand that he communicates by growling along with nasty comments, and you don’t mind that he will bark and scratch at doors to get your attention when you leave him. He will also help keep friends and family away by barking, growling and snapping at them when they get close to you. He is a happy and playful boy that loves squeak toys and will insist on sleeping beside you and may pee in your bed Interested in becoming a forever home for Gizmo Giblets? Fill out our online adoption application: http://www.friendswithfourpaws.org/adoption-form.html This is the first step in our process, and we don't go any further without an application.

This includes their spay/neuter surgery, full (age appropriate) vaccinations, microchip insertion and registration, deworming, heartworm testing and prevention, flea and tick prevention and travel expenses. All of our dogs are rescued from local shelters and the general public. Each dog is then placed in a foster home where he/she is kept for quarantine, to ensure if the dog gets sick it can receive proper treatment.

Meet Riley Roberta! This 8 lb, 4 month old pup is in search of her forever home. She is a complete sweetheart - her mom was Shih Tzu and we believe her dad was likely a terrier mix. She is proud to report she is doing well with her housebreaking - using both the doggy door and the potty pad! She is ready for a home to love her but importantly do all the training, and take on the work a puppy brings! Interested in becoming this pup’s forever home? For immediate consideration, please fill out our online adoption application: http://www.friendswithfourpaws.org/adoption-form.html This is the first step in our process, and we DO NOT go any further without an application.

Story
Update 12/26/22: Our little grinch Mad Max had a lot to be grumpy about this holiday season. He has just passed his 1 year anniversary with our rescue, which meant an annual vet visit, shots updated, bloodwork… he was displeased 😡 His owners had said he was about 4 years old, but he’s definitely more at the senior stage of his life according to his recheck this week, at least 7-8 years old. Since they couldn’t seem to keep him from constantly running loose and playing in traffic, it’s not surprising they couldn’t count either 🤦‍♀️ He is still an angry little mad man at times but has mellowed quite a bit- between his age and low-stress low-expectation lifestyle he’s been living, maybe he will actually be a nice dog by the time he’s a teenager. If you respect his space and let him be himself he’s actually pretty pleasant and easy to live with, has an understanding with his other weird bad boy dog friends, and appreciates a stable routine. Definitely no children and a calmer adult home, he’s looking for someone who understands him and will work to build a bond of mutual respect, maybe even love one day. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Mad Max in Northern NJ Meet Mad Max! He came to us with a bit of a reputation… a multiple time running-at-large offender whose owner finally decided to just not pick him back up from the shelter instead of just getting him neutered and being more careful to keep him at home 🤦‍♀️. He was a feisty guy at the shelter with a big personality, aloof with strangers, protective of his food, and not liking some handling. In other words a normal Lhasa type personality and Second Chance demon dog🤷‍♀️. Here he’s not as bad as expected, respectful of the dogs and has warmed up and been sweet and avoidant of confrontation for the most part, definitely no Ray or even Prancer. He seemed to actually be very accustomed and comfortable with a basket muzzle for grooming and vetting which is great… without the muzzle he tried tasting the clippers 😖 but as soon as the muzzle was on he immediately flopped down and calmly allowed us to shave him. Rated R for sure, no kids and a respectful adult home that knows when to give him space and give him attention on his terms. Another dog or a few dogs to live with seem to help balance him, and he so far seems to be pretty housebroken as well as wee wee pads if needed. Mad Max is approximately 4 years old and we think a Lhasa and/or Shih Tzu mix, 15lbs full grown, and is neutered and updated on shots. Please email njwoof@cs.com to meet him Due to COVID-19, we will not be holding our Sunday adoption events until further notice, but we can schedule socially distant appointments with a specific dog outdoors at our vet’s office: VCA Morris Plains Animal Hospital 3009 Rt 10 East Morris Plains (Denville on GPS) NJ 07950 Now is the perfect time to open your home to a needy dog! Submit an application from our website www.secondchance.petfinder.com to speed up the adoption process All our dogs reside in foster care in Northern NJ until adoption. 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.
