Ava and Teddy

My story

Meet Ava and Teddy! We have been trying to secure their safety for quite a while and we are happy to announce they are finally surrendered and officially ours! 🎉 This mom Yorkie and her mixed breed son are 2 under 4 and under 2 and are very attached to each other. They were frequently allowed to run loose in busy roads over the past year and always stayed together and somehow managed to avoid getting killed. Recently the owner got a new puppy 😖 and didn’t want them in the house anymore and they were being kept outside in a crate in the heat, and they finally agreed to relinquish them. They are sweethearts, good with other dogs and devoted to each other. Ava is 12.5lbs and Teddy is 14.5. He has a luxurious long silky coat with silver highlights while she is the classic Yorkie silver and tan. These 2 deserve a safe stable home with people who won’t allow them to dart out doors (and actually just close doors 😳 🤦‍♀️) and will make them beloved family members. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet this adorable pair 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 Ava and Teddy, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
