My story

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

Meet Romeo, also known as Troy! This sweet 10-year-old Maltese mix is as cute as they come and absolutely adorable. He's a food puzzle enthusiast who loves a good mental challenge. Romeo is looking for an experienced owner who understands the importance of patience and going slowly to gain his trust and allow handling.

Once you earn Romeo's trust, you'll be rewarded with endless belly rub sessions, and he may even fall asleep in your arms. He enjoys leisurely walks and still has a lot of pep in his step. He is housebroken when kept on a schedule. Romeo wants nothing more then to be your constant companion, whether it's helping out in the kitchen as your sous chef or cuddling up for a movie night.

Romeo is a velcro pup who thrives on being with you and being involved in whatever you're doing. He sleeps soundly through the night in his own bed but prefers not to be crated or contained, as it stresses him out and leads to excessive barking unless you're nearby.

While he's working on his separation anxiety, Romeo is not suited for apartment living due to his tendency to bark when left alone. Romeos ideal home would be an adult only or with teenage children.

If you're ready to open your heart and home to this loyal companion, Romeo/Troy could be the perfect match for y

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.
