My story

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

Because we are a backwards rescue, anyone want to place bets who gets adopted first: Piper the corgi/min pin puppy or Marvin the senior mostly toothless Min Pin? At any other rescue, we would say Piper, but we know our audience and our money is on Marvin 😆 💰 🎰

Marvin came to us complete with his dapper bow tie and matching leash from a local shelter that hadn’t gotten any interest in adoption due to his age. He recently had a dental and had the bulk of his teeth removed- still has a handful in the back of his mouth but nothing in front which leaves his tongue often sticking out and gives him a funny face when he barks. He is super friendly and still pretty athletic for a 10 plus year old guy, can jump 3 feet for attention and hop up on your couch with ease and likes his walks. He’s cool with other cool dogs like him and makes new friends fast, human and animal. His ears don’t quite know what they want to do and fly back when he barks. And he is a bit of a talker, but with a deep old man bark that could pass for a full size Doberman rather than a wimpy defenseless 17lb guy who is not the least bit threatening.

Can you help Marvin show our new puppy friend Piper why seniors rule the roost around here even though he’s old enough to be his great great great great great great grandfather?

Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Marvin 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.
