Meet Tofurky, the Mini Poodle with a lot to be thankful for this holiday!
This 3-4 year old is enjoying his first night of freedom from life in a puppy mill. All those designer doodles and oodles and poo-mixes you see being sold for thousands of dollars in pet stores, online puppy sites, and even some scam “rescues”: this could be their dad. Buying puppies from these not-so-reputable sources supports dogs like Tofurky living out their lives in kennels. No toys, no beds, no blankets, no names, no love.
Tofurky is a very thin guy, all bones and quickly ate a whole bowl of dry food as soon as he arrived. He’s 12.5lbs right now but probably should be more like 15-16. He’s skittish and jumps away when first touched but not aggressive, and is cautious but curious about people. He loves other dogs since they have always been his only source of comfort, and follows and learns from them.
Tofurky is getting a full medical work up, neutered, a dental, and of course fed and fattened up (and yes, he will even get to try some Tofurky tomorrow 😉) and will be looking for a home soon. A patient home that will give him time to adjust and learn to walk on a leash, play with toys, be housebroken, and get used to all the sights and sounds of a real home for the first time. He will need at least one other dog in the household to learn from and follow to boost his confidence.
Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Tofurky once he’s ready, and this Tofurky Day, please consider a donation to help this special victim of human greed start his new life. He is currently fostered 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.

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.
