Story
Officially introducing Sophie! This Shih Tzu on steroids (actually literally right now for her itchy skin) was a whopping 27lbs on arrival but is quickly shedding the extra pounds on her crash diet. She was abandoned in rough shape with severely itchy untreated skin and ear infections as well as chronic dry eye- she was basically a bright red mess when she was brought to the county shelter. She’s about 8 years old according to her unregistered microchip and a very very sweet girl with a cute happy personality. She’s ok with other calm dogs but keeps to herself around them. She loves people and has been a good girl for her medicated baths and eye drops which she will need longterm. She likes car rides and walkies, loves food of course, and is an all around nice little companion for someone who will stay on top of her allergies and weight loss. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Sophie 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.

Story
Introducing Toby the Terrible 👹 He looks like a perfect friendly little angel doesn’t he?! He’s non-shedding, 10lbs, good with dogs, 3 years old, young and healthy. If we stopped writing here, we would have 50 applications on him tonight. But you know there has to be a catch, right? 🤔 Well, he’s pretty terrible to be completely honest. He looks friendly on the surface meeting new people. You might not even believe our warnings. But once you cross him and do something he doesn’t like, prepare to unleash his wrath. And it’s pretty easy to piss him off. His list of caveats is a long one: Don’t touch his food. Don’t touch his mouth. Don’t pick him up unless he says it’s ok (it’s rarely ok) Don’t be a veterinarian trying to do veterinary type things to him (we aren’t sure who was more traumatized by his vet visit for his neuter, him or the vet). Don’t put sweaters on him. Only pet him if he comes over and asks for attention. But not for too long. A quick pat on the head is all the affection he needs. Don’t lean over him. Don’t bother him when he’s laying down. We are sure there are more we haven’t experienced yet. The good news is he’s much better with dogs than people. He’s actually a wimp and a bitchy little chihuahua girl easily made him cry and back away from his food. Which shows us that he wasn’t inherently evil or disturbed, but being annoyed and mishandled by people and children constantly is probably the root of his little Napoleon complex with the humans. He’s a happy little guy who walks around confident with his tail up and wagging and has a funny little personality if you like to watch his antics. He plays with toys by himself, prances around on his walks, and isn’t overly needy, fine left alone during the day. He’s not scared and suffering, just needs acceptance and space. They can’t all be Velcro lapdogs. So if you understand weird little ones, can resist the urge to kiss and squish his cute little cheeks and whiskers, and are willing to just leave him the f%#! alone most of the time, email njwoof@cs.com to meet our newest little demon in Northern NJ. If you have a pack of other little dogs, that would be ideal for him and maybe you wouldn’t have too much spare time to pet him. Who knows, if he’s ignored long enough he may even change his ways and realize he misses some attention and lose some of his attitude 🤷‍♀️ Stranger things have happened 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.

Story
Meet Oscar! He’s not really a grouch, he’s a sad confused boy looking for a home. This 10 year old Shih tzu was removed from his beloved owner’s home by animal control after she passed away. He was scared and confused but bonds quickly, a gentle soul who still has some spunky for a senior and likes playing with his stuffed toys. He doesn’t like being picked up too much by strangers and has to get to know people without them getting “in his face” at first, but a loyal companion once he bonds. He was wee wee pad trained and also likes his walks, fine with other small chill dogs that just want to hang out. He’s a bigger Shih tzu, maybe mixed with Lhasa, about 20lbs but not chunky, just long and large with a big sad walrus face. He was a good boy for his grooming and seems to be in pretty good shape, and will hopefully have many years to enjoy with his new people.

Story
Scrappy had a crappy owner and crappy life and is ready for a fresh start! His owners were evicted and just left him behind in the vacant apartment, a scared defensive matted mess. He’s just a baby, 1-2 years old and took some time to feel safe but is sweet and playful once he warms up. He’s a Shih Tzu or maybe Lhasa mix, 15lbs and now has been neutered and updated on shots. He had untreated chronic dry eye and is on prescription medication for life- he was a bit dramatic and convinced we were trying to blind him with the eye drops but now is calming down since he realizes it helps him feel better and is much more cooperative for his twice daily treatments. He’s a cute but quirky guy who definitely needs his space at first but lovable once he lets down his guard.

Story
Just when we thought Chumley couldn’t get any cuter… he only has 3 teeth left after his dental so his little tongue hangs out even more. He’s a sweet perfect little senior, loves to nap in fuzzy beds with other dogs and hang out with people. And no one can look at that little face and not smile 😃 This sweet boy was living in a car with a homeless veteran after his daughter died and was in rough shape, but a sweet cuddly little boy.
