When it rains it pours… meet our newest adorable tiny FRIENDLY chi Chico!
This 11 year old 7.5lbs apple head was surrendered because the the kids got older and lost interest and no one in the family wanted to take care of him or clean up his messes when he was alone and ignored all day. He’s not had any recent vet care and we immediately noticed him constantly straining to pee tiny drops… he went right to the vet where our suspicions were confirmed: painful bladder stones! He had a history of uti’s during his last vet visit 3 years ago so we suspect he’s been having issues for a while.
Surgery went well and he’s looking for a permanent home. He will likely need to stay on a prescription urinary diet to prevent stones from recurring down the line. He’s a happy sweet guy who loves humans, doesn’t seem to be such a fan of other dogs and probably would prefer to be an only pet, although might get along with a little tiny girl chihuahua. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Chico in Northern NJ once he’s recovered.
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.

We request that adopters fill out a pre-adoption application either in person at our adoption day or through our website www.secondchance.petfinder.com. This helps us make sure the animal's personality is a good match for your household. Adoption fees vary according to the dog's age, breed, adoptability, and how much we have had to spend in vet bill on them. Adopters sign a contract at the time of adoption, and the animal must come back to us if they do not work out in the home.
