My story

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

Tiny terrified Tazzie is an almost 3 year old Shih tzu who had a horrible life and holds onto some emotional scars as a result. She was rescued from a particularly awful puppy mill where the dogs are all incredibly fearful of humans and clearly have never known a kind touch. She loves other small dogs and is much more comfortable in their presence, so a home with at least one other doggie friend is a must for her. She panics like a Tasmanian devil trying to put a collar and learn on her and has no clue how to be a dog or live as a beloved pet yet. She’s starting to calm down once you “catch” and hold her and will need a lot of patience and someone who will love her unconditionally on her terms. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet this 7lbs Shih tzu.

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.
