Meet sweet senior schnauzer Toby!
He was found as a stray, reclaimed, then surrendered because his owners were moving. Our handsome 10 year old chunky boy had a full medical work up and has been started on some medications to keep him around as long as possible. He has some heart disease, early kidney disease, and liver inflammation and is on 2 heart medications, kidney diet, and a liver supplement. He’s lost 3 lbs on his diet already and still has a few more to go to get down to a healthy weight, has good energy and is a happy sweet boy. He's a bigger mini and was 30lbs on intake but should be more like 22 probably. He’s good with other dogs and cats, a gentle cuddly boy who loves a good walk or trotting around the yard and then is happy to be a couch potato with you. We love his natural schnauzer tail and big ears, undocked and uncropped as schnauzer-mother nature intended!

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.
