My name is Oscar!

Meet Oscar!

He’s not really a grouch, he’s a sad confused boy looking for a home. This 10 year old Shih tzu was removed from his beloved owner’s home by animal control after she passed away. He was scared and confused but bonds quickly, a gentle soul who still has some spunky for a senior and likes playing with his stuffed toys. He doesn’t like being picked up too much by strangers and has to get to know people without them getting “in his face” at first, but a loyal companion once he bonds. He was wee wee pad trained and also likes his walks, fine with other small chill dogs that just want to hang out. He’s a bigger Shih tzu, maybe mixed with Lhasa, about 20lbs but not chunky, just long and large with a big sad walrus face. He was a good boy for his grooming and seems to be in pretty good shape, and will hopefully have many years to enjoy with his new people.

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.
