Officially introducing our very special survivor Maybe! This shy girl is still a puppy at heart, only about 2 years old and once she feels safe turns into a normal playful girl with her people and doggie friends! She survived on her own on the streets of Philly for at least several months, hanging around a construction site where kind people fed her. She was too scared to approach and had to be trapped by our new friends @ Team Louie Animal Rescue to get her to safety. Once in a temporary foster with someone who helped in her capture it quickly became evident she grew up with little to no human contact- she panicked on a leash or being touched and needed time and patience to learn to trust. We love our “feral” project dogs at Second Chance and since coming to us her true funny personality has quickly emerged in her foster home with the help of her more confident dog friends. She is quite the clown and loves to play with toys, wrestle, chase, and be chased by other dogs, and now even wags her tail and solicits petting from her foster mom! While she still is scared of new people and places, she makes progress each day and we know in the right home she has so much potential. What does Maybe’s ideal home look like? A calmer adult household with just one or 2 patient people who can earn her trust and love. At least one other playful dog her size or larger (45-50lbs) for her to play with and learn from. A securely fenced yard to ensure she never ends up on the run and fending for herself again. And someone who will love her and accept that while she may never be a social butterfly with strangers she has such a fun lovable personality if you are lucky enough to be in her inner circle of friends! Email njwoof@cs.com to learn more about Maybe if you think maybe your home could be the right fit for her!We do not have a shelter- all our pets are in foster homes and can be seen by appointment only during the week, or at our weekly pet adoptions every Sunday at the Animal Clinic of Morris Plains from 12:30 to 3PM at 3009 Route 10 East, Morris Plains, NJ.
