My story

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

Meet Gucci!

This 4 year old Shih tzu mix came to us because she was having seizures untreated for the past year and her owner couldn’t care for her grooming or medical needs. She’s a sweetheart who loves attention and gets along with other small dogs. She went right to our vet for a work up and to have her thick mats shaved. Her bloodwork didn’t show any other underlying issues so idiopathic epilepsy is suspected, and she’s been started on medication and so far no sign of seizures since coming to us. She will need to stay on medication longterm and have her phenobarbital levels monitored twice a year, but dogs with seizures can live normal lifespans and do very well with proper treatments.

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.
