My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

wagoninn.rescuegroups.org

Sparkle is a very beautiful girl who is looking for her forever home. She is now in a NJ foster home and doing very well, although she has been diagnosed with epilepsy. She is under the care of the wonderful neurologists at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital, and is on epilepsy medication.  Sparkle is a very happy puppy who loves to play and to snuggle.  She loves other dogs and has been great with children and adults. Sparkle is doing great with housetraining.  She weighed 35 lbs at 4 months, so we are estimating that she'll weigh 70 lbs full grown.

Sparkle needs a family that will continue to care for her.  The epilepsy medication isn't very expensive (if you use GoodRx and purchase at a human pharmacy), but it will need to be tweaked as she gets larger. She'll need to be tested as she grows to make sure the blood levels of the anti-seizure medications continue to be appropriate. We've been told that the protocol is to test adult dogs with epilepsy every 6 months.

Background:  Mom (Spirit) wandered up to the home of an animal lover on Thanksgiving after being dumped nearby. She was very pregnant and huddled behind their barn. This kind family took her into their barn to give her a safe place to have her pups and fostered the sweet family until they came to NJ. The pups were born on December 5, 2023. Mom Spirit is about 40 lbs. We have no info on dad, but he must have been on the larger size since all of the pups are going to be larger than Spirit.

Sparkle and her siblings have received their first 4 DHPP vaccines, their rabies vaccine, and treatment for puppy parasites. Wag On Inn will arrange for the pups to be fixed and microchipped when they are approximately 6 months old at the Spay-Neuter center in Holmdel, NJ. Adopters must live within driving distance of Holmdel, NJ. The adoption fee is $550, which includes their spay/neuter and microchip.

Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home.

More about this rescue

Wag On Inn Rescue, A NJ recognized 501(C)3 organization, located in Freehold, NJ, is a small group of dedicated volunteers, trying to rehome dogs and cats. We have a variety of animals looking for their forever home. The animals are worked with individually to be socialized with other animals and with people. Some of the dogs are obedience trained and housebroken. Special care is also taken in working with animals on basic house manners. We have two types of ways we help the animals. One is our rescue program, where we pull animals from shelters and they stay with us until adopted, we also have a "referal program" where we help owners of pets try to find them new homes. with this program, the pets stay with their owners until a new home is found, and adopted from the owner.
