My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Harvey!

This 7 year old tiny Shih tzu is even tinier than he should be right now because his owners weren’t feeding him enough- about 7.5lbs when he should be more like 10 😢. He’s a friendly guy overall although we were told he takes time to warm up to new men, and he has to get used to being groomed and was nervous of the clippers but let us cut out most of his mats carefully with scissors. It’s hard to appreciate just how thin he is under all his floof but there isn’t much to him except for bones and hair. He will be looking for an adult home where he will be properly fed, groomed, and loved for life. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Harvey 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.
