My story

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

Update: Ted is now toothless after his dental but feeling great and still eats dry food!

This super friendly 10 year old 10lb Yorkie poo (we think?) has a great social personality, was housebroken in his previous home, and gets along with most other dogs. He shed his matted stained old bathmat look for a kinda deranged uneven lion cut that looked like he stuck his finger in an electric socket… that wasn’t getting him adopted so he’s starting over with a short summer do for now. You can try out whatever style you want when it grows back in, he won’t mind as long as it gets him extra attention and he’s in a forever home.

Meet sweet senior Ted!

He’s rocking the old bathmat half bald/half matted look after what we suspect is years of untreated flea allergies and neglect. He hasn’t been to a vet in years, his teeth are green and falling out, but otherwise seems to be in decent overall health once he gets some actual vet care and grooming. He’s a sweet 10 year old Yorkie-poo (our best guess), ok with other small dogs. His owner reported he was a bit shy with new people and afraid of/avoided children but he’s warmed up pretty quickly to us and been a sweet guy.
Ted is about 10lbs full grown and after a long overdue dental only has one tooth left in his mouth. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Ted 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.
