Meet Buddy. This sad grumpy but handsome senior longhair doxie needs an adult only home that is ok with his quirks and grumpiness and will respect his space. His owners originally rescued him from a home where children were pulling his beautiful long hair and tormenting him, and he’s held onto that grudge for years and wasn’t going to tolerate the arrival of a new child in his new home. He knows what that means and learned his lesson the last time. He doesn’t seem to mind other small calm dogs. He can be a bit ferocious around his food and behind any kind of gate or barrier and needs to be allowed to come to you on his terms not yours. Doxies are royalty 🤴 and he demands to be acknowledged as such- no eye contact when meeting him, he doesn’t have time to chit chat with mere peasants and strangers. He’s got some arthritis in his back legs so no stairs for him, he’s a ramp guy which is better for his doxie back anyway. But otherwise is still pretty spunky and healthy and plans to live a while so please don’t adopt him if procreation is in your 10 year plan. He’s not going to be happy being displaced by a baby yet again. If you are an unconditional doxie fan, njwoof@cs.com to meet Buddy 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 Buddy, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
