Story

Officially introducing Princess S’mores and Prince Marshmallow 👑 🍫 These 2 perfect sweet “young seniors” are sweet enough to put you in a diabetic coma 🤤. Tiny Princess is an 8 year old Maltese and her “big brother” is a 20lbs 9 year old Shih Tzu/cocker spaniel mix. They were surrendered to a crowded county shelter due to housing issues and no fault of their own. They get along with other dogs but do love and seek out each other so we would love for them to find a castle together. Princess is a Velcro dog who loves to be with her people, and Marshmallow follows her around adoringly and copies her. Princess wasn’t spayed and had the beginning of a potentially deadly uterine infection so got spayed just in time! Marshmallow was a matted mess with overgrown nails that were making it painful for him to walk, but he gave hugs and kisses while we were grooming him and is a sweet gentle soul. Both are non-shedding and require regular grooming. We know it’s always harder to place 2 dogs together but are really hoping this adorable odd couple can find someone who needs double the love in their life 💜 Email njwoof@cs.com to meet our adorable duo 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.

Story

Meet Luke! Breed: Maltese/Yorkie mix Age: 6 years &#226&#154&#150&#239&#184&#143 Weight: 17 lbs Luke is a loyal little guy with a big heart and an even bigger personality! This Maltese-Yorkie mix takes his job as a protector seriously—he may be small, but he’ll always have your back. Whether it’s alerting you to someone at the door or curling up beside you to keep watch, Luke is happiest when he's with his people. He’s dog-friendly and does well with canine companions, but what he really dreams of is a low-traffic home where he can feel safe and relaxed. His ideal match? Someone who’s home most of the day and can give him the attention, snuggles, and stability he loves. Luke would do great with another resident dog to help him settle in. If you're looking for a devoted sidekick who’ll shower you with affection and loyalty, Luke is your guy! To apply to adopt Luke go to www.peace4paws.org/ adoption-application on a computer or laptop.

Story

Sapphire came to our family 6 years ago as a puppy, with nickname of Mr Burn given by his breeder, as he has cute overbite. He has been giving me and my wife lots of joy and fun. However, as both my parents and in-laws have fear of dogs, their visit to us become a bit drama, and my wife and I have intense job that we sometimes can't afford to take dogs out to let them have fun. I am looking to put him and Charlie (the brown, 1.5-year poodle showing in picture) to good hands who love and care dogs. BTW, both of them love outdoor very much. If you can do it, that will be great!
