Have you met our little possum-looking creature Emmie yet?
This short chubby tiny girl came to us pretty terrified hissing, screaming and showing all 4 of her remaining teeth, but has settled down now that she knows she’s safe and a sweet girl. Her owner died and she was pretty gross and matted when first rescued but after grooming just looks abnormal level of disheveled wiry hair. She’s a bit nervous about being picked up, and with her very chubby shape it’s a bit awkward lifting her right now but dances around happily for treats and gets better as she gets more bonded. She loves other dogs, and especially has fallen head over heels with our young Chihuahua boy Princeton and flirted and pranced like a little puppy when she met him! So we think she would love a younger brother to help her recapture her youth. She’s 12lbs but should be more like 7-8lbs, and about 12 years old. You can tell by her face she has a lot of character and a big personality behind that mostly toothless smirk and wiry whiskers, and she’s looking for a calmer home that will enjoy her company, quirks and all.

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.
