My story

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

16 year old Dotzie is settling into life in foster care but would love a permanent home soon… she’s not getting any younger

Back in her day it seems like she was quite the feisty girl when she had a mouthful of teeth, but she’s mellowed into a sweetie with age and only has one tooth left anyway. She’s nervous at first but once she gets comfortable looks to be near her people. She came in with her teenage son Seven but it wasn’t a happy relationship- they were annoyed by each other and she clearly wished he had left the nest 15 years ago. She doesn’t mind other calm old small dogs as long as she has plenty of soft beds to choose from for her many naps. She’s in pretty good shape for her age- great bloodwork, and a heart murmur that’s getting checked out this week but she eats well and tongues down her dry food and picks up a routine quickly.
If you are an antique dog fancier and would likely to add this special girl to your home, email njwoof@cs.com to meet Dotzie 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.
