Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Spruce is in NJ waiting for an adopter.  Meet Spruce — our shy little sapling learning to trust again.   When Spruce first arrived, the world felt big and scary. Sudden movements made him freeze, and he wasn’t sure what gentle hands were for. He’s slowly learning that soft voices mean kindness and that love can be patient.   Spruce still feels safest in his crate, but every day he shows tiny signs of bravery—just last week, he ventured out for the first time, exploring for a moment before returning to his cozy spot. He’s a mellow soul who’s simply looking for a calm, quiet home where he can heal at his own pace.  He’d do best with:   – A peaceful home (no young kids)   – Patient humans who’ll let him come around in his own time   – A yard or small potty area while he learns leash life   – Other gentle pets are perfectly fine   Spruce may start out timid, but with love and time, we know he’ll blossom into the loyal companion he’s meant to be.  If you have a calm heart and a quiet home, you might just be the safe place Spruce has been wishing for.  Spruce will be up to date on vaccines. Wag On Inn will arrange for neuter at The Spay and Neuter Center of New Jersey in Holmdel. Adopters must live within driving distance of Holmdel, NJ. His adoption fee is $450.  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.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Little Abhi is a very gentle soul who is just beginning to learn what love and safety feel like. He came from a hoarding situation where he did not get much one-on-one attention, petting, or handling, so new experiences can be scary for him at first. He is doing really well in his foster home.  He LOVES his foster mom, and follows her around.  He's more anxious around his foster dad, but he is starting to come back into the house when foster dad is around (so scary!), and he lets his foster dad pick him up now.  It's only been 2 weeks, so we think he's made a tremendous amount of progress.  Abhi is living with 5 other dogs and is fine and respectful with them all.  He hasn't started to play with any dogs yet, but he has discovered toys and loves to empty the toy box.  He enjoys being outside, wandering the yard.   He's even learned to walk on a leash, but we've only done short walks so far.  We don't think he ever had the opportunity to go for walks until now. Abhi does best with a soft-spoken, calm person who understands that trust takes time. Once he feels safe, he is incredibly sweet. He loves to hang out with in a chair, on the couch, or in bed, and he is very excited to see his foster parents when they come home.   He is still working on house training and has had a few accidents, so he will need a patient adopter or foster willing to continue to help him learn. Abhi will potty outside. Abhi has met a cat in his previous rescue home. He would thrive in a home with a canine companion or as an only dog, and older, considerate children who understand giving him space. Abhi is truly a sweet little guy who just needs time, love, and reassurance to blossom. With patience, he will reward you with quiet companionship and a heart full of gratitude. Abhi is up to date on vaccines, and has been neutered and microchipped. His adoption fee is $450.  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.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Pimbi is in NJ waiting for a foster or adopter Meet little Pimbi  This tiny soul came from a home where love and cuddles were new concepts, so he still startles easily and needs time to trust. Once he warms up, though, his playful side shines through—he’ll lick your fingers, chase his little doggy friends, and melt for treats.   Pimbi isn’t quite comfortable being held yet, but he’s learning what gentle hands and soft voices mean. He’s potty pad trained, goes outside in a fenced yard, and would love a safe space like a doggy playpen while he gets used to his new surroundings.   This boy would thrive with a calm, patient family who moves at his pace and shows him that love can be kind and consistent. Older, respectful kiddos (11+) would be just his speed. All Pimbi needs is time, tenderness, and the chance to finally feel safe—and when he does, his little heart overflows with love.  Pimbi will be up to date on vaccines. Wag On Inn will arrange for neuter at The Spay and Neuter Center of New Jersey in Holmdel. Adopters must live within driving distance of Holmdel, NJ. His adoption fee is $450.  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.

Story
Meet Leota. We call her Lady because she has the personality of a sweet old lady in a tiny adorable body. She’s calm, cuddly, and the sweetest little companion you could ask for. She’s a total cuddle bug and loves to follow you around, just wanting to be near you. Lady is incredibly easygoing, adapts quickly to new routines, and is excited to be loved by anyone she meets! Whether it’s someone passing on the street, a barista at the coffee shop, or a guest coming into your apartment. She loves to be held by anyone and is easy to carry around. She rarely barks, and the only sign of anxiety is a quick shake that passes soon after. Leota also loves being wrapped in towels or blankets, relaxing to music or the sound of TV, and being cozy on the couch or her bed!    Personality & Characteristics: Super chill, low-maintenance, and affectionate. Loves to sleep, gets short bursts of energy, then happily passes out near you. Gentle, curious, and goes with the flow. She’s only stubborn about one thing: if you’re on the couch, she wants to be too. My foster dog is good with: Dogs (of all sizes) and new people (has loved everyone she's met from the street/my friends) . She’s curious and patient, waiting calmly for them to approach.  My foster dog is: Crate trained. Kind of house trained and pee pad trained, but will go outside if there’s grass or snow with a little patience. (has not had an accident on any carpets) Low shed. Potty Routine: Leota is mostly pee pad trained and will go outside if there’s grass or snow (just not concrete). We do 30–45 minute walks to help her feel comfortable outside, and she’s been doing great. She listens well and is very obedient, so she’ll be easy to fully potty train once she's somewhere permanent. A building with a green patch or a home with a backyard would be ideal for her. (If you’re in NYC and near a park, she’ll love it. Our closest park is a 10-minute walk to Tompkins Square Park, and she waits until we get there to pee once she sees grass!)    3 Keywords: Calm, curious, cuddly Energy Level (1 = calm, 10 = high): 3 Barker? Or Quiet Pup?: Very quiet, minimal barking, only heard her bark once for maybe 20 seconds on her first night with us (who can blame her!)  Walking Manners: She prefers to be held on walks. If loud cars pass, she may start shaking and freeze — that’s our cue to pick her up. Once she’s in a familiar area with grass or snow, she’ll walk slowly and calmly before asking to be carried again. She has gotten to know my street and the confidence has grown on walks in just 3 days!  Appetite: Good appetite, eats slow, I keep the food out for 30 minutes and she nibbles, walks around, nibbles, walks around, but will finish what you give her!   Favorite Things: Blankets, fluffy toys, peanut butter, The Farmer’s Dog food, warmth, friends, cuddles  Commands / Tricks: Comes when called, sometimes sits, answers to “Lady” ##2636505##
