Meet Duffy! Thought to be a youngster at first, he’s actually more like 8 years old most likely and was a matted scruffy mess when he was dropped off with our local shelter friends. He is a super sweet friendly schnauzer wannabe of some sort, likes all the people and dogs he has met so far and bounces like a much younger dog on his walks. He has a mild heart murmur that doesn’t require medication at this time and otherwise is in good health, has been neutered, updated on shots, and had a dental. He’s about 12lbs full grown and some kind of cute terrier mix- he doesn’t have a completely non-shedding coat and wouldn’t be a good fit for allergy sufferers. Email njwoof@cs.com if interested in this great little companion. 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.
