Stuart

My story

The neglect and abandonment is never ending 😩 Someone brought little Stuart to the pound claiming to have “found him at the dog park”. 😒 We will probably never know the real story but we do know he been suffering under his matted pelt for far too long. He’s a sweet boy who was wagging his tail and trying to look into our eyes from behind all that hair. He’s a middle aged poodle mix, probably 7-8 years old and about 15lbs. He went right to our vet for an emergency shave down! Summer is always the worst time in animal welfare, and this one has brought extra challenges with unprecedented numbers of dogs being surrendered and abandoned and just nowhere for them to go 😩 Your donations help us keep our doors open for getting and keeping so many of the smallest, oldest, more scared and vulnerable little dogs out of NJ’s shelter system. Because of you, we can continue to transform their lives, one dog at a time 💜 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 Stuart, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
