My story

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

Introducing Mashed Potato 🥔

The second dog we have gotten this month who was dumped at the pound still wearing his little Christmas sweater 😞

We named him because his teeth are so rotted we figured he would end up toothless after his neuter and dental, but his heart had other plans unfortunately 💔. We are looking for a hospice home for this friendly spunky senior. He has a significant heart murmur and his echo showed concerns of pre-failure and very high risk for anesthesia even after starting meds, so he is starting on 3 medications to help support his heart and we are looking for a hospice home for him to live out what time he has. He’s a very social little guy, energetic but coughs when he gets too worked up so a chill home where he can spend a lot of time cuddling on the couch is best. We think he’s at least 12 years old but still very much mentally “with it”, seems to like other small dogs (a little too much maybe since he’s not neutered 🤦‍♀️), and mostly just wants to be around humans and not in a cage. He’s 11lbs, and we think min pin/chihuahua/terrier of some sort.
Please share our little Mashed Potato 🥔 , we don’t know how much quality time he has but he deserves to spend every second loved and cherished
Email njwoof@cs.com to meet him 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.

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.
