abigail

Senior Abigail is back on the market and cuter than ever 😍

Don’t let her crusty old lady looks fool you, she is not a sleepy lapdog for Grandma and likes to be up and about where the action is. She prances and dances on her walks and around the yard and is always right at your feet gazing up at you lovingly and pawing you to share your meals or do something fun. She’s fine with other little dogs that aren’t aggressive to her or would be fine as an only; she’s all about human attention. She changes color depending on her stage of hair growth like a chameleon; when she was shaved down she appeared white but now that her hair is growing back she’s actually tan. Maybe if we let her hair grow long enough she will turn purple 🤔. She is non-shedding so will need grooming and was a matted mess when she originally came to us. We think she’s some kind of Maltese/yorkie/poodle type mix, about 8-10 years old, and 12lbs. She came to us with multiple low grade cancerous mammary masses that were removed but should be monitored for future recurrence or spread, and has chronic dry eye that needs prescription eye drops longterm which she’s very cooperative for. But otherwise in great health, bounces around like a much younger dog and is a friendly sweet little girl.

Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Abigail 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.
