My personality

My story

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

Meet Pablo

This scruffy 5 year old Jack Russell/Maltese was surrendered when his family was overwhelmed with too many dogs and he wasn’t adjusting well to the arrival of a new human baby.
Pablo was purchased as a puppy with his sister from a breeder. Unfortunately they were never altered and had 2 litters of “accidental” pups together, all of which were born with congenital issues due to inbreeding 🤦‍♀️. Rather than have them altered they just kept the females separated from the males, so Pablo and his son were relegated to mostly living in crates lately.
Originally, he was a “service dog” for his owner who had fainting spells, went everywhere with him, and was very attached and in tune to his person. He’s a loyal one-man or woman dog who protects his person and isn’t a fan of kids grabbing at him and pulling his long flowing hair or annoying him in other ways. But very sweet and cuddly, desperate for a person to bond to. He’s good with other small dogs also and a really cute 11lbs fluffy boy who deserves better than life in a crate and being pushed aside.
He’s been neutered now, updated on shots, and is ready for someone who will return his unconditional love for the rest of his life.
Email njwoof@cs.com to meet him 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.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.
