Rocco

My story

Rocco is ready for a home! This cute 2 year old Shih tzu mix came to us severely matted when his owner was evicted. He’s a friendly social little guy, sometimes a bit nervous and barky with new people at first but bonds quickly. He gets along with small female dogs but is mostly a people person who loves attention. He was used to wee wee pads mainly but is doing well with crate training and learning to go outside. He’s only about 12lbs full grown and a happy fun little guy. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Rocco 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 Rocco, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
