Benjamin was one of the most shy and "feral" dogs from the Howell Hoarding case in 2016...over 275 dogs rescued from horrific conditions in one home! He was probably never touched even by his owner. He is happy in his multidog foster home and loves greeting new arrivals and playing with his many doggie friends. He still is untrusting of people- will take treats and happily greet familiar people but stays out of reach and avoiding being petted. We would love to eventually find a permanent home where he will be accepted for who he is and allowed to approach people on his terms...it will take a very special understanding person but until then he will remain in his foster home and continue to help socialize and play with the many dogs who come through his foster home.

We do not have a shelter- all our pets are in foster homes and can be seen by appointment only during the week, or at our weekly pet adoptions every Sunday at the Animal Clinic of Morris Plains from 12:30 to 3PM at 3009 Route 10 East next to 5 Star Car Wash (formerly Boulder Car Wash) in Morris Plains (Denville on GPS). To help us better match a pet to your household, we request you fill out an application on our homepage www.secondchance.petfinder.com and copy and paste it into an email, or print it and bring it to our adoption day when you come. Local inquiries only please- we do not do long distance adoptions.
