Fabio

Meet Fabio!<br/><br/>This handsome youngster with the flowing blond head of hair has already been off to a rough start in life. Given away for free to someone 2 months ago, he was surrendered to animals control because he doesnt know how to play and bites when he plays. He is only 10 months old and we have seen nothing aggressive so far so we suspect they just didnt understand puppy mouthing and play. They clearly didnt understand much about proper dog care as he was impressively densely matted considering his hair wasnt even that long. He was a good boy for his shave down. He is dramatically terrified of other dogs- barks and acts tough to scare them away but if that doesnt work he hides and cowers in fear. We are working on socializing him with some calm small neutral dogs who leave him alone and he is cautiously curious checking them out. Hes some kind of little terrier mix- Yorkie maybe more Silky Terrier with a long low build and a mix of soft curly hair with a more wiry legs and tail, under 15lbs full grown. He seems like more of a fun adventurous terrier than a frail toy lapdog and is looking for an active home to have fun. Hes working on crate training and housebreaking and picking it up quickly, a very smart sensitive attentive little guy. <br/><br/>Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Fabio in Northern NJ<br/><br/>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.
