Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Gloria came to us from our partner rescue in Louisiana and arrived in a NJ foster home on 1/10. This sweet survivor was found with her sister by animal control and was at risk of euthanasia simply due to lack of space. Thanks to a kind-hearted couple and our rescue community, Gloria got the second chance she so deeply deserved — and she’s made the most of it ever since. Gloria is a joyful, affectionate girl who is incredibly people-oriented. She bonds easily and deeply with her humans and truly thrives on connection. Once she chooses you, she’s all in — a classic “velcro dog” who wants to be near her person, soaking up love and reassurance. She’s happiest when she knows you’re close and feels safe by your side. Because of her strong bonds, Gloria is still learning that alone time is okay and that her people always come back. She’s making progress, but she’ll do best in a home where someone is around often and can continue helping her build confidence with gradual, gentle departures. With patience, consistency, and love, she blossoms more every day. Gloria is sweet, loving, and endlessly loyal — the kind of dog who will follow you from room to room and look at you like you’re her whole world. If you’re looking for a devoted companion and have the time to help a sensitive soul continue growing, Gloria just might be your perfect match. Gloria is up to date on vaccines and is fixed. Her  adoption fee is $550.    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. If you are interested in learning more about me, and possibly making me part of your family, please go to  wag-on-inn.com . To apply, click  HERE  or on our website, go to Adoptable Pets and Adoption Application. A Wag On Inn volunteer will be in touch soon!

Story
King is a very energetic dog. Although he is 9 years old, he is very playful and loving. He loves his family and is very protective. He is a great watch dog and always alert. When he is chained , he can be defensively aggressive toward strangers. He's very loyal and affectionate to our family. I purchased the dog for my grandson 9 years ago. He took care of the dog for 4years and enlisted in the marines. I have been taking care of him for the last 5 years. Due to my current circumstances I cannot devote the time in caring for him the way he deserves. I'm very sad to depart with him, he's a member of our family.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. This handsome guy is Dante. He is a young husky/shepherd mix (born June 2024), and weighs about 50 pounds. Dante is very smart, playful and full of personality - but we are not going to sugar coat it- he’s a handful! He is friendly, has had obedience training, loves to work for treats and knows plenty of commands- but will pick and choose who he will listen to and when he will listen.  A dog like Dante is frustrated in a kennel environment. We cannot meet his mental or physical needs. He needs a home- someone with the skill, time and patience to work with him. We are looking for a special adopter- the one who can see his potential and wants to help a dog in need.  A potential adopter for Dante must be an experienced dog handler, who can establish and maintain leadership from the start. He will challenge his handler- so this is an absolute must! A fully fenced in yard is required. We believe he would do best in a home with one or two adults. He has the potential to live with another dog. (But of course a meet is a must).   Dante has bonded with some of our volunteers, and can be very affectionate. We believe he has the potential to be a great companion- but only in the right hands. Please do not apply for Dante if you do not meet his requirements.  If you are that special someone we are looking for and enjoy working with challenging dogs- please apply on our website at rescueridge.com. Dante needs a chance at a life outside of a kennel! Dante is located in Monmouth County, NJ Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 20, 2026, 10:57 am

Story
Come meet me and 75+ of my adoptable friends at Louie's Legacy Animal Rescue's Super Adoption Event, Furever Yours! Sunday, February 15th, 2026 at Paradise Island in Staten Island from 11am - 3pm! Meet Otis! Otis is a 9-month-old German Shepherd/Terrier mix weighing about 45 lbs, and he’s the kind of dog who truly never meets a stranger. Sweet, social, and full of joyful puppy energy, Otis loves to play, run, chew on his favorite toys, go for walks, and then curl up for some well-earned snuggles. He’s incredibly affectionate and has not a mean bone in his body. This smart boy is a quick learner and eager to please, so much so that he didn’t have a single accident during a recent foster stay! Otis is still very much a puppy, but with some structure, continued training, and a person who enjoys working with an energetic dog, he’s going to absolutely thrive. And let’s talk about the looks: those irresistible puppy-dog eyes paired with his adorable little beard make it nearly impossible to say no to him. Otis would do best with an active adopter or family who has the time, patience, and enthusiasm to help him settle into his new home and continue building his skills. A yard and an adventurous lifestyle would be a big plus! With the right match, Otis will be an incredibly loyal, loving, and fun companion. If you’re ready for a smart, affectionate pup who’s equal parts playful and cuddly, Otis might just be your guy. Otis is currently located in Middletown, NJ. His adoption fee is $500. To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals. For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible. We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
