Checking in with Angus! We have been getting to know our tiniest little charge the last few weeks. And beneath the terror and defensive show he puts on, we have found… a real chihuahua 😈. An angry feisty little guy who would take over the world if he wasn’t only 6lbs with very few teeth left. Angry Angus was the last of the Sussex County dumped dogs at one of the local animal control facilities when we were asked to take him. All the others were adopted or taken in by other rescues. But we were the only ones brave/stupid/masochistic enough to give this tiny guy a chance. He’s full of chihuahua snark and tries to stand up for himself to protect his food and space and keep people from touching him. But once “caught” and wrapped in a towel, he loses his fight, and we swear we have even seen him start to lean in and enjoy a good neck scratch though he will never admit that he actually likes it. Food is the way to his heart and he looks hopeful whenever the fridge is opened and takes treats nice and gently now as we work to convince him that humans can be good, or at least useful. He’s better with dogs than people and would like a home with at least one other little dog companion to cuddle. He needs a veteran chihuahua person willing to go slow in earning his trust and accept him for who he is while working to help him become the best version of himself… within reason. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Angry Angus 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.
