Meet Oliver!

His owner called animal control wanting their aggressive dog picked up, and they arrived to find this guy cowering in the corner and a minor nip on the owner’s leg… they weren’t able to get much details except that they didn’t want the f-ing dog anymore and just take him 🤷‍♀️ He’s actually been a pretty nice happy guy, always smiling and dancing for attention, was perfect for us grooming him, likes other dogs, and we have been pleasantly surprised by how easy he is. He definitely seems to be foot-shy as if expecting to be kicked, and can growl guarding food and high value bones but nothing scary, somewhat needy and doesn’t like being ignored. Oliver is about 3 years old, 12 lbs and looks like some kind of googly eyed cavapoo or maybe havanese mix, appears to be non-shedding so will need regular grooming and has been neutered and updated on shots. He seems to really enjoy having doggie companions to hang out and play with and we think a home with another dog, or pack of dogs, might help boost his confidence.

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.
