My personality

My story

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

We have taken in so many new dogs lately we haven’t caught up on introducing them all 🤯

Meet Nellie!

Our nervous Nellie is a 5 year old mix surrendered to animal control. She’s not the friendliest at first meeting and took a bit to warm up to us, but once she feels safe she’s loyal and lovable. We think she’s a doxie/min pin mix with the feisty streak of both breeds, about 12lbs full grown. She’s been ok with most other dogs, and really loves a good soft fluffy bed to curl up and sleep late in. Because of her suspicion of strangers she’s looking for a low-key adult home without too many people coming and going and where she can approach people on her own terms.
Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Nellie 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.
