My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Leo has come out of his shell and is a really fun active little ball of energy! This 1 year old Pom/Toy Aussie? has some initial stranger danger and is alert to his surroundings with a deep scary sounding watchdog bark. But he warms up quickly for treats and squeaky toys and is a lovable little Velcro dog once he bonds. He’s athletic, smart and attentive to his person and would probably be a great agility dog, hiking companion, or just all around best friend. Not a couch potato, he will definitely cuddle but not until he’s gotten his exercise and playtime. He’s under 15lbs, neutered, updated on shots, and ready to find his forever home where he will continue to be socialized to new people and places in a postive way.

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.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We request that adopters fill out a pre-adoption application either in person at our adoption day or through our website www.secondchance.petfinder.com. This helps us make sure the animal's personality is a good match for your household. Adoption fees vary according to the dog's age, breed, adoptability, and how much we have had to spend in vet bill on them. Adopters sign a contract at the time of adoption, and the animal must come back to us if they do not work out in the home.

Adoption application

Every Sunday at the Animal Clinic of Morris Plains from 12:30 to 3pm at 3009 Route 10 East in Morris Plains, NJ 07950. Call us at 973-208-0191 or during the adoption at 973-366-2568 for more info.
