Kayli

My story

Meet Kayli 💜 the GIANT doxie mix 🌭. And we mean GIANT! This very special SWEET girl is the biggest dog we have had in a while, weighing in at a whopping 70lbs! 😱 But we plan on shrinking her… she’s severely unhealthily overweight and should probably be more like 45lbs 😔 😳 With her short twisty doxie legs, the extra weight is especially dangerous to her back and she will probably end up crippled and/or dying prematurely if her weight loss plan isn’t taken seriously. She’s said to be 5 years old, but we are thinking more like 7ish. But she could just be prematurely grey. Her weight makes her move and act like a geriatric couch potato 🛋️ 🥔, she struggles on stairs and can’t walk very far, but we hope she will age in reverse as she loses weight on her diet. She belonged to an elderly man who was moving and could no longer care for her, and didn’t do much besides lay on the couch napping and snacking. Kayli is a gentle lovely soul, scared and confused but sweet and we haven’t seen a mean bone in her body. Though we can’t really see any bones. She’s lived with a cat, avoids conflict with other dogs. All who meet her fall in love with her big brown eyes and calm demeanor and she deserves a lot healthy life as a cherished companion. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Kayli 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.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Kayli, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
