Jack Russell Terrier and Italian Greyhound Dogs Available for Adoption

Kurt is making great progress and turning into a brave young man! He’s only been with us a week but is following everything his “big brother/cousin” Champ does for better or worse. He’s following us around, jumping for attention, will do anything for cheese or a squeaky toy and is even letting us pet and pick him up tentatively! Not bad considering we had to wrap him in a towel to touch him last week! We see a lot of potential in this little guy, still just a baby around a year old or less, 10lbs full grown. He loves, follows and plays with other dogs and definitely needs a pack or at least one other friendly playful dog to take him under their wing. He looks like some kind of Italian Greyhound/Chi/Jack Russell type mix, one of the 50+ from the recent horrible Sussex County dumping/hoarding case, but he’s showing us just how resilient these little survivors can be.

Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Kurt 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 Italian Greyhound is a small and elegant breed known for its slender build, gracefulness, and affectionate nature. These dogs are gentle, intelligent, and loyal companions that thrive on human companionship. They excel in agility and obedience activities, and their short coat requires minimal grooming. Despite their delicate appearance, Italian Greyhounds are surprisingly resilient and energetic, enjoying playful activities and romps in a secure outdoor area. Their loving personalities and expressive eyes make them a popular choice for families and individuals seeking a charming and devoted pet.

The Jack Russell Terrier is a lively and intelligent small breed known for its boundless energy and strong hunting instincts. With a distinctive white coat and often sporting tan or black markings, these dogs are full of personality and require regular exercise and mental stimulation to thrive. Jack Russell Terriers are fiercely loyal and make excellent companions for active owners willing to provide the mental and physical challenges this energetic breed needs to stay happy and healthy.
