We are almost finished introducing you to all the new dogs we have taken in the past couple weeks š° Meet Columbo, one of the most skittish of the 10 little ones we took in from the home that ended up with too many dogs due to lack of spay/neuter. The males in the home all wore very tight double layer belly band wraps over their āboy partsā to keep them from continuing to breed and have more litters. A creative solution for sure, though spay/neuter would have been much more effective and humane and they wouldnāt be getting skin infections from being constantly wrapped in pee soaked diapers. The real mystery šµļøāāļø of Columbo is where he got his long legs fromā¦ heās the tallest of the bunch, with most of them having short stubby little doxie dwarf legs š¤·āāļø. They are all supposedly a mix of doxie, Shih tzu, poodle, and some kind of terrier. So maybe itās the poodle in there that gave him his stilts. Or a taller Jack Russell. Heās a skittish panicky guy who uses his long athletic legs to fly away from new people and things that scare him, but heās learning from the friendlier dogs to feel safe and warm up. Heās under 3 years old and 20lbs with the cutest wiry beard. Like the rest of his clan, he will need a calm adult patient home with at least one other doggie friend in the home to help him adjust to life outside of the only home and away from the only people he ever knew. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Columbo 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 Columbo, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
