Elf - Chihuahua and Yorkshire Terrier Dog for Adoption

We have lots of newbies to start introducing this week! But first some breaking news on our little Elf

We initially thought he and his brother Elmer Fuzz were best adopted as a pair, but after a failed placement and some bad boy behaviors that seem to feed off each other, they have decided to go their separate ways. So they are both now available individually.

Elf is a ridiculously cute sweet little 7.5 lbs creature who looks like a chihuahua got electrocuted and ended up with the worlds best Mohawk. Prepare for him to be laughed at and asked WTF he is everywhere he goes, as people debate if hes ugly, freaky, adorable, or all of the above. He and his brother were dumped in a crate together in a scary area but hes a super social smart cuddly playful fun little guy who bonds quickly. He can get fresh with other dogs at times, and he and his brother tended to gang up and turn into bullies together, but he does get along with most other small dogs once introduced. He has made a big dog fall over in fear with just a look, but that dog was kind of a super chicken so we wont take his threats too too seriously . The power did go to his wiry little head though. Hes crate trained but will need some confinement and work on housebreaking likely and a structured routine and decompression period.

Elf is about 4 years old, neutered, updated on shots, and some kind of possum/hyena/porcupine/chi/yorkie mix (a dna test would be very interesting )

Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Elf 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.

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.

The Yorkshire Terrier, also known as Yorkie, is a small and glamorous toy dog breed known for its long, flowing coat and spirited personality. Originating from England, these affectionate and intelligent dogs make wonderful companions for individuals and families alike. With a weight of around 7 pounds, Yorkies are portable and adaptable, thriving in both city apartments and rural settings. Despite their small size, they possess a bold and confident nature, always ready for fun and adventure.
