Story
Monty was adopted as a puppy from a rescue that is no longer operating. His date of birth is 12/24/21 & weighs about 85 lbs. His Embark DNA says he’s a mix of Great Pyrenees, golden retriever, pitbull, lab, German shepherd, boxer. He’s playful & loving & loves people. He’s generally good with other dogs. We need to find a home better suited for him as an only dog or just no small dogs and older children who won’t get accidentally knocked over. We are seniors and due to his large size we are finding it more challenging to care for him. He has some resource guarding issues so he is fed separately which really helps with this particularly since we have two small dogs as well. Our grandson is now walking and at our house a lot therefore due to Monty’s size we are trying to avoid our grandson from being knocked over or hurt. Monty is an overall good boy and has a lot of love to give! He also needs a fenced in yard. We are happy to answer any questions about Monty.

Meet Clyde- one of the 6 poodle puppies Six fluffy reasons your house is about to get a whole lot happier. These adorable poodle puppies were born in April after an unplanned litter, and now they’re ready to find families who will love them forever. Their mama is a poodle, and dad… well, let’s just say the neighbor’s dog had excellent taste.   Currently around 15 pounds, these cuties are expected to grow into the 35–40 pound range—perfect mid-sized companions for cuddles on the couch and adventures outside. Each puppy is everything you’d hope for and more: friendly, playful, a little goofy, and completely in love with toys. They tumble, they bounce, they explore, and they bring that joyful puppy energy wherever they go. If you’re looking for a dog who will make you laugh daily and keep life interesting, you’ve found your match. They would do wonderfully in homes ready for all the fun (and responsibility!) that comes with raising a puppy. Think training, patience, lots of love—and in return, you’ll get a loyal, happy family member who will grow up right by your side. The puppies are date on puppy vaccines and has been treated for puppy parasites. Wag On Inn will arrange for neuter/spay and microchip at 5-6 months of age at The Spay and Neuter Center of New Jersey in Holmdel. Adopters must live within driving distance of Holmdel, NJ. Their adoption fee is $600.  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. Lenny is arriving in NJ on 7/11 Meet Lenny, your future sidekick in a scruffy little package. This black-and-white Border Terrier mix is all puppy charm, with wiry hair like his mama, short legs, and a long little body that somehow makes him even cuter. At around 10 pounds now (and likely topping out near 25), Lenny is the perfect “just right” size. He’s playful, affectionate, and still learning the ropes of being a well-mannered gentleman—but that’s half the fun of puppyhood. Lenny loves toys, enjoys meeting new people, and is ready to grow up in a home where he can be loved, guided, and maybe just a little bit spoiled. Rescued from a crowded home, he’s now soaking up attention and thriving. If you’re looking for a happy, scruffy best friend with a wagging tail and a heart of gold, Lenny is your guy. Lenny is up to date on vaccines and has been treated for puppy parasites. Wag On Inn will arrange for neuter and microchip at 5-6 months of age at The Spay and Neuter Center of New Jersey in Holmdel.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Rosalyn is a very sweet who is with one of our sister rescues in LA and will be in NJ on 7/11.   Rosalyn is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart. This sweet, tender-hearted staffy mix is that just-right size — big enough to feel like a “real” dog, but compact enough to fit seamlessly into your life. She arrived at the shelter with scars and cuts across her face and body, but despite everything she’s been through, Rosalyn chooses love every time. She leans into gentle affection, soaking up kindness like she’s been waiting her whole life for it. Rosalyn has a soft, submissive nature and gets along beautifully with other dogs. She appears unbothered by cats and quickly became a volunteer favorite for her calm, loving demeanor (and yes, her appreciation for treats doesn’t hurt). In her foster home, she’s been doing wonderfully — nearly perfect with her potty training, with no accidents in her crate and only occasional ones outside. Rosalyn doesn’t need much — just a safe place, a gentle hand, and someone to love her back. After everything she’s endured, she’s still all heart. If you’re looking for a loyal, easygoing companion who will truly appreciate you, Rosalyn is waiting. Rosalyn is up to date on vaccines and has finished his heartworm treatment. She has been spayed and has a microchip. Her adoption donation is $500.  Adopting an animal 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. Brodie is with our partner rescue in LA and can come to NJ with an approved foster or adopter. Meet Brodie, your future best friend (and professional heart-melter).   This adorable 5-month-old beagle/hound mix (best guess) may be a bit of a mystery—he was found as a stray, so we don’t know much about his past—but one thing is crystal clear: Brodie is 100% pure puppy perfection. With his sweet face, curious eyes, and irresistible charm, he’s already winning hearts wherever he goes. Brodie is at that fun, wiggly stage where everything is new and exciting. He’s ready to learn, ready to play, and most of all, ready to love his people with that signature puppy enthusiasm. Whether it’s exploring the backyard, going on little adventures, or curling up after a busy day, Brodie is just looking for someone to share it all with.   Since he’s still a baby, Brodie will need a family willing to guide him as he grows—think training, patience, and lots of treats (he fully supports this plan). In return, you’ll get a loyal companion and a lifetime of tail wags. Brodie didn’t have the easiest start, but his future is looking bright. Could that future be with you?   He is fixed, micro-chipped, and up to date on vaccines. His adoption donation is $600.    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. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 2, 2026, 7:12 pm
