Gordon

Meet Gordon!<br/><br/>This scruffy young guy was a stray brought to a local inner city shelter, terrified and with painful raw bleeding paws. He was very freaked out and defensive especially being leashed at first but has warmed up into a cute lovable little terrier who asks to be picked up once he trusts you. Hes definitely an insecure anxious baby boy and still has his panicky moments, and needs a calmer adult home that wont force him into situations that are too much for him and give him time and space to feel safe. Hes only 1-2 years old, 10lbs, some kind of scruffy Maltese/terrier mix but doesnt have a non-shedding coat so just a quick comb out and trim here and there are all he needs. Hes ok with other little dogs but gets scared of them too if they come on too strong. He seems to have been wee wee pad trained and we suspect didnt get out in the world too much so will need to be slowly socialized in a positive way. <br/><br/>Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Gordon 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.
