My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rocky, the long haired CHI /Papillon (mix?), is ready to find his forever home! 🐾 He's a pro at using pee pads and will also go outside, making potty training a breeze.

Rocky is super smart and loves to learn. His foster mom thinks he would make a GREAT agility dog. He sleeps through the night in whatever cozy spot he chooses. While Rocky needs time to build trust, he's a brave and outgoing pup who will bring so much joy to the right home. Just remember, he's not a fan of being woken up, so let him snooze peacefully. 😴🐶

He gets along with people of all ages, we suggest a home with kids over 15 years of age with dog experience. No first time dog owners for this guy.

If you're looking for a fun and friendly companion, Rocky is your guy! 🐶💕 A loving and active household that understands Rocky's needs would be the perfect fit for him! 🏡🐾

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Since we are a small foster home based rescue we very rarely hold adoption events. We mostly have meet and greets to approved adopters. On the rare occasion we may bring a dog or so out to an event however we do not allow on event site adoptions.

More about this rescue

The mission of our small foster home based 501C3 organization is to rescue homeless dogs with no hope; especially those living in inhumane conditions. Whether it's dogs in cramped, dirty puppy mill cages, barbaric international dog meat farms, hoarding situations or those living in the streets and shelters - we give them a brand new lease on life. Wagging Tails Dog Rescue NY provides all the dogs we save with appropriate veterinary care, loving foster homes and adopt them out to caring and responsible forever homes.
