Roxy - Shih Tzu and Yorkshire Terrier Dog for Adoption

Little senior Roxy has healed from her spay and dental surgery and is ready for a home!

This 14 year old Shih Tzu/yorkie? mix could pass for a mere 10 year old and still has some spunk, although mostly a quiet sweet girl. She likes her space at first and can be grumpy being picked up but does a cute dance for food and comes over for pets when she’s in the mood. She’s fine with other chill nap-loving dogs, likes going out for short strolls around the yard and picks up a routine quickly. She has some old lady lumps and bumps that don’t bother her but otherwise in pretty good shape and plans to stick around a few more years to enjoy her senior years pampered and catered to.

Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Roxy 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.
