Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hannah is with our rescue partner in Louisiana is available to come to NJ if we find a foster or adopter. Hannah is a 7 year old, gentle hearted pup who also happens to be deaf, but don't let that fool you.  She communicates beautifully in her own way!  She'll come to you when you bend down and clap, and she knows when her collar goes on, it's time for a walk (one of her favorite parts of the day!). This lovely girl is low-energy, loves a predictable routine, and has a bit of a stubborn streak that honestly just makes her more charming.  She enjoys her meals and can be protective of them, so a foster who's comfortable giving her space during feeding time would be perfect.  Hannah does well with other dogs but needs slow, thoughtful introductions to help her feel safe and confident.  She recently got her very own chest harness and is learning not to pull on walks - she's trying her best!   Hannah is fixed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. Her adoption fee is $300.    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. CLICK HERE TO FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Percy- the definition of a "good boy" At  1 year old and 57 pounds of golden lab love, Percy is everything you could hope for in a furry best friend. He's the total package: friendly, gentle, and just perfect. This handsome boy arrived on our 1/10 transport and he's doing very well in his foster home. Percy is the kind of dog that just fits - the one who greets you with a wagging tail and lots of love! He loves people, adores other dogs and kids and is fine with cats. This affectionate boy will follow you from room to room and he loves to give you kisses and hugs when he hasn't seen you in a while. Some of his favorite things include playing with toys, chews and his foster brother. He enjoys lying by the glass door and watching the birds, squirrels, and cars outside. Percy still has some puppy energy and would benefit from regular exercise and mental enrichment. He's very food motivated and a fast learner. Percy is smart, trainable, and picks up commands quickly! This good boy comes when called, knows sit and down, and he's working on other commands. Percy is still working on his leash walking skills - he loves to walk but pulls a bit. His foster has had a lot of success using a harness with a front clip. Percy is fixed, up to date on vaccines. Percy tested positive for heartworm and has begun treatment. We are looking for a foster to complete his treatment here in NJ with 2 visits to Barnegat Animal Clinic. His adoption fee will be $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
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Spruce is in NJ waiting for a foster or 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.
