Plucky

My story

Speaking of little ungrateful dogs who think they are big, meet Plucky! His real name was Lucky but that’s always very bad luck for us… but he answers to Plucky just fine and it suits him more. He should just be happy it was P-month and not F-month in our naming cycle, though he would probably answer to that too 😆 This 5 year old Shih tzu is mostly a friendly cheerful guy who likes meeting new people and has that bouncy happy energy. But this spoiled little brat who was surrendered complete with a “Mama’s Boy” has his jerky moments for sure. He hates children (can’t blame him there), doesn’t like sharing food (ditto), and can be fresh with other dogs at times too (therein lies the issue for us, we prefer dogs that prefer dogs to people). As long as you stay on his good side and don’t offend him he’s a lovable guy, likes being wherever the people are, likes going for walks, has been pretty good about housebreaking in foster, and is a fun spunky little guy. He’s only 10lbs but definitely has the Pinky and Brain style complex with plans of world domination. He’s been neutered now so hopefully that takes him down a notch but he’s not a chill Grandma’s lapdog and likes to be out and about exploring the world. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Plucky 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 Plucky, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
