Lilo

Meet Lilo. She’s terrified of life. This little senior Yorkie was one of 3 living outside in an inner city after a life of being used for breeding. She’s warm and safe now, but she was the most terrified and shut down of the 3 and doesn’t seem to understand she’s safe just yet. She likely wasn’t handled much if at all and human hands cause her to panic and cower, and sometimes snap if people move too quickly with her. She loves other dogs and follows and hides behind them for comfort. She’s been spayed and had a dental, and medically was in the best shape of the bunch, probably 8-10 years old and under 8lbs. Lilo will need a calm patient adult home with at least one other little doggie friend to follow and learn from, and someone who will accept and give her time and space to learn how to bond to humans, likely for the first time. Email [email protected] to meet Lilo 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 [email protected]. 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.
