Oscar's Story

Meet Oscar!<br/><br/>He’s not really a grouch, he’s a sad confused boy looking for a home. This 10 year old Shih tzu was removed from his beloved owner’s home by animal control after she passed away. He was scared and confused but bonds quickly, a gentle soul who still has some spunky for a senior and likes playing with his stuffed toys. He doesn’t like being picked up too much by strangers and has to get to know people without them getting “in his face” at first, but a loyal companion once he bonds. He was wee wee pad trained and also likes his walks, fine with other small chill dogs that just want to hang out. He’s a bigger Shih tzu, maybe mixed with Lhasa, about 20lbs but not chunky, just long and large with a big sad walrus face. He was a good boy for his grooming and seems to be in pretty good shape, and will hopefully have many years to enjoy with his new people. <br/><br/>Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Oscar 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.

Second Chance Pet Adoption League's Adoption Policy
*Due to COVID-19 our adoption events are cancelled until further notice* Please email njwoof@cs.com and submit an application to set up an appointment to meet one of our adoptable dogs! Thank you for looking to open your home to a needy dog during this difficult time * Since most of our dogs live in foster homes instead of kennels, we get to know their personalities pretty well and have an idea of the type of home that would be ideal for them. We do our best to match you with a pet who will work out in your household, which is why we ask you to fill out the application below. It gives us information about your lifestyle and what you are looking for in a dog so we can find a match. Though we hope every adoption will be a success, we realize that sometimes once the pet gets into a home problems could arise and you may realize this is not the right dog for you. We always take our animals back at any time in their lifetime if they do not work out. We do not want them passed around or ending up in other shelters. If you are unable to keep your adopted pet, we require that they be returned to us so they can return to the foster home to which they have become accustomed. All of our dogs have been altered and given their vaccinations by our veterinarians as well as other necessary medical attention. Our adoption fees vary, generally up to $350 depending on the animal's breed, age, health, adoptability, and how much we have had to spend on them medically. All adoption fees are considered donations and go directly toward the medical care of our pets. Donations will be greatly appreciated as all our funding comes from our adoption fees, donations, and small fundraisers. All donations go directly toward medical care and supplies for our animals and are tax-deductible (we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit). We can always use volunteers to help with fostering mainly, and sometimes fundraising, supply collection and transport. Email us to volunteer njwoof@cs.com
