Story

WISE is entirely volunteer-run and all of the donations made to our rescue go directly back to the animals in our care. By partnering with veterinary practices that support our work, we are able to save animals lives and restore them back to health. While some animals only need standard care, others require more extensive veterinary or behavioral care. Regardless of which dog you are applying for, we are looking for adopters to support our program with a minimum donation of $850. The donation may or may not be directly applied to care of the dog you're adopting but rather goes toward supporting all of the dogs in the rescue. We appreciate the understanding of our potential adopters. Please keep this in mind prior to applying.NAME: MochiBREED: Golden Retriever DOB: Jun 7, 2021 (4 years 7 months)Home Recommendation: Mochi would do best in a calm, patient home where she can continue to build confidence at her own pace. Her future family should be understanding and gentle, celebrating small victories and giving her the time and reassurance she needs to truly shine and grow into the happy, confident dog shes meant to be.WHY DID THEY COME TO WISE: Mochi spent her entire life as a breeding dog in a puppy mill. When her 'breeders' decided they no longer had a use for her, they planned to discard her. Thankfully, WISE was able to step in and rescue her giving her a second chance to experience the love and warmth of a real home. Now shes ready to start that new chapter!Personality: Mochi is a sweet and loving girl. She is shy and timid, but shes already starting to come out of her shell by watching and learning from her foster sibling. A home with another friendly, well-adjusted dog would be ideal, as having a canine companion helps her feel secure and encourages her to explore the world with more confidence. KIDS: Yes, kids 10+DOGS: YesCATS: Unknown Training: Mochi is doing wonderfully with her training and routine. She slept through the entire night in her crate, showing how comfortable and well-mannered she is in that space. She is continuing to do great with house training and has had no accidents so far. Shes also eating and drinking more each day, which is a great sign that shes settling in. She does especially well when following the lead of her foster sibling and will reliably potty when taken out together, showing how much she benefits from another dogs guidance and routine.Visit WiseAnimalRescue.org to fill out an adoption application.Adoption areas include: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maine, Vermont, Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire.

Alfie The Tripod

Golden Retriever/Poodle (Standard)

Male, Adult

Oakland, NJ

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Needs special attention,

Story

You just have to meet Alfie in person to appreciate just how uniquely adorable this guy is! With his huge boopable nose and Alf-shaped beak that looks too big for his body, he looks like a muppet or fraggle come to life. He's a 3 1/2 year old Goldendoodle, 58lbs full grown. Sadly he had a broken leg a couple years ago after being hit by a taxi cab when he had gotten loose in NYC, and it didn't heal properly and ended up needing to be amputated after the incident. He's been well adjusted to being 3-legged for a while and walks and runs so well it's hardly noticeable! He even jumps right in the car to go for rides. Our vet has him on fish oil just to help support his joints and extra care needs to be taken to make sure he doesn't get overweight or he will have more mobility issues as he ages. He's a gentle sweet soul, a little timid at first but warms up fast. He does NOT seem to have the non-shedding poodle type coat and would not be a good fit for allergy sufferers. He was quite matted when he was surrendered so has a bit of a funny haircut right now, and needs someone committed to regular brushing and grooming longterm. Please submit an application to meet Alfie! Primary Color: Red Brown Weight: 58.5 Age: 3yrs 6mths 4wks

MARGO

Golden Retriever

Female, Adult

Sussex, NJ

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story

Margo is the kind of dog who stops people in their tracks—beautiful, soft, soulful, and radiating that unmistakable Golden Retriever sweetness. She came from a backyard breeder as an 8-week-old puppy, advertised as a Goldendoodle, but as she grew, it became clear that her heart and her heritage lean almost entirely Golden. Born on 2/7/23 and now weighing about 50 pounds, she has matured into a graceful, gentle young girl who wants nothing more than to be loved. Her original family adored her and provided her with a safe, caring home, but unexpected personal challenges arose—difficult ones that prevented them from giving her the consistency, time, and attention she truly deserved. They made the painful, selfless decision to ask for help in finding her a new family, wanting Margo to live her best possible life. And what a gift this girl will be to her new home. Margo is sweetness personified. She is friendly with every dog she meets, respectful and calm around cats, and gentle enough to be trusted with young children. She needs to be in a home of no small dogs - she thinks they are playthings. Her temperament is exactly what people love about Golden Retrievers—steady, affectionate, intuitive, and endlessly kind. She greets new people with a soft smile and happy tail as if welcoming them into her world. Margo is still young and doesn’t have many commands under her belt, but she is a blank slate in the best possible way. She watches her people carefully, eager to understand what’s expected of her, and she responds beautifully to gentle guidance. With patience and routine, she will blossom into a perfectly mannered companion. A fenced yard would be ideal for her—she loves the freedom to run, sniff, and stretch those young, energetic legs. She hasn’t had nearly enough opportunities for outdoor play or structured exercise, so a family who values activity and time outside will help her thrive. After playtime, she’ll settle in beside you with that soft Golden warmth that makes every house feel more like home. Margo is the whole package: beauty, personality, intelligence, and a heart full of love. She is ready for the stability of a forever home where she won’t have to transition again—a place where she can grow up, bond deeply, and be cherished every day. If you’ve been dreaming of a young Golden mix with all the emotional intelligence and gentle spirit the breed is famous for, Margo could truly be your once-in-a-lifetime dog. She is hoping to find her new family just in time for the holiday season. To apply for this beautiful girl, emailccrnewengladn@gmail.com. Margo is ready for her fresh start. &#226&#156&#168PLEASE NOTE: Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted. Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site. The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.

Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees

Female, 5 yrs

Pluckemin, NJ

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with kids, House-trained,

Story

About Karley Approx. 5 years old | 77.6 lbs | Gentle, devoted companion This sweet girl has had a series of loving homes due to human circumstances—not behavior issues. Her first owner adopted her as a young dog and adored her until he passed away. She was then taken in by his best friend, who later became seriously ill. During that time, she showed an extraordinary level of awareness—waking him at night when his oxygen equipment wasn’t working or when he needed assistance, despite having no training to do so. Most recently, she moved again when a resident cat was unable to adjust to sharing the home. Each transition has been handled with care and love, and she has remained gentle and emotionally connected throughout. 🐾 Personality & Temperament Exceptionally gentle and affectionate Very people-oriented—she bonds deeply and wants to be near her person Can feel anxious if separated, but not destructive Calm and settles well indoors, sleeps through the night Previously assessed by a trainer as easy to train and a possible therapy-dog candidate (assessment copy pending) 🧠 Training & Motivation House-trained Walks nicely on leash and is accustomed to regular grooming Not food-motivated—she works for touch, praise, and affection Responds well to guidance and human connection rather than treats 🏡 Lifestyle & Social Skills Loves car rides, swimming, and toys Good with children of all ages Does well with both large and small dogs (with proper introductions) No known aggression issues 🚧 Management Notes (Honest & Important) She can clear a 4-foot fence if left unattended in a yard Interestingly, she respects an invisible fence very well Best suited for a home where she isn’t left alone outdoors and where companionship is valued 💗 Ideal Home She will thrive with someone who: Wants a true companion, not a backyard dog Is home often or enjoys including their dog in daily life Understands that closeness and reassurance—not treats—are what motivate her Appreciates a calm, emotionally intuitive dog with a big heart

Story

Thor and Faith have been with me since they were about 2 years old. They are now 9. I speak about both because they have never been apart. They are great well mannered house dogs and they cannot be separated. It is with a heavy heart that we part with them. My living situation has changed and it has become necessary. As well as I hope to find someone or family that can truly appreciate these dogs and give them the space they require. These dogs love swimming and playing ball. They are really smart and aim to please. They love just being near you at your feet. And they know how to show affection. I hope someone here can give them a good loving home.
