Trixie is unfortunately once again searching for a forever home that understands her…
This 5 year old Shih tzu/maltese mix originally came to us a painful half-bald itchy mess of chronic skin infections. The good news is her hair has grown back and she’s doing great with weekly medicated baths and a special diet to control her allergies. Unfortunately once she was feeling better in her new home, some unexpected behavioral quirks surfaced and she needs a more experienced home that can read her body language and know when she needs her space.
She’s overall a very friendly social girl who makes friends easily. She’s well crate trained, a good walker, and a really cute little companion. But she doesn’t like to be bothered when sleeping/laying down or eating and is best not allowed to share your bed or furniture… let sleeping dogs lie and give her her own bed and space, and she will come to you for attention when she’s ready. She’s ok with most male dogs although she doesn’t like to share her food, space, and attention with other dogs all the time so might be happier living as an only pet at this point. She’s only about 12lbs full grown and other than her allergies which may flare seasonally and will need some longterm management, is in good health. Adults only please, kids would annoy her for sure.

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.
