My personality

My story

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

This sweet sad little dumpster fire is Trixie, a 5 year old Maltese/shih tzu mix. She was surrendered mostly bald with angry itchy greasy skin and ears from chronic untreated allergies and yeast infections. She’s a lovely little dog, such a good patient for her treatments and medicated baths and will need a home that will continue to be diligent in continuing her medicated baths and care. Allergies require a lot of trial and error, vet visits, and immediate treatment before they get to the state where the dog is suffering like this, and she will need a special home willing to stay on top of things for life. She’s fine with or without other dogs, 13lbs fully grown and a nice little companion who would otherwise have people fighting to adopt her if not for her skin issues. We are getting things a little more under control medically before she’s able to be spayed and she will be ready for adoption very soon… please consider a donation toward her care to help her feel better. ❤️‍🩹
Email njwoof@cs.com to meet sweet Trixie 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.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Every Sunday at the Animal Clinic of Morris Plains from 12:30 to 3pm at 3009 Route 10 East in Morris Plains, NJ 07950. Call us at 973-208-0191 or during the adoption at 973-366-2568 for more info.
