Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Coco Bear is a 3 year old scruffy mix surrendered locally because her owners were moving. She’s shy and scared at first but sweet and cuddly once she bonds, and gets along with other dogs. She just got spayed- she unfortunately had puppies last year mating with her brother 😳 🤦♀️ but we are putting an end to that inbred gene pool at last. She’s not been used to walking on leash and was using wee wee pads or going out in a fenced yard. She’s 15lbs and resembles a Brussels griffon but is actually supposed to be a Shih tzu/maltese/chihuahua mix.
Email njwoof@cs.com to meet her 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.
