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:
We have a puppy!
Don’t worry, he’s not a normal friendly happy puppy, we couldn’t have that here 😆 Tiny 6 month old Iggy came in snarling and snapping in terror, quite a menacing display all 5 lbs of him.
He quickly warmed up as soon as he met some little doggie friends and once comfortable he is adorable, cuddly, lovable, and playful. He seems more nervous with men and acts tough when he first meets them or sees them walking outside, and will need a special home willing to continue socializing him in a positive way to new people and places since he seems like he missed out on some important socialization. He definitely needs another small compatible doggie playmate in the household to learn from and help boost his confidence, no exceptions. We think he’s a chorkie (chi/Yorkie mix), 6 months old and won’t get too much bigger than his current 5 lbs.
Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Iggy 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.
