Everything about affection, attention, and daily life is still new to her, and she needs adopters who can move slowly, create a predictable routine, and let her build confidence at her own pace.

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: Snowglobe is slowly starting to come out of her shell, and were beginning to see some wonderful signs of progress. She recently walked outside on her own, showing a little bit of confidence, and even let her foster pick her up and hold her without any fear. These small victories show how much trust shes building, and its clear shes trying her best to feel safe and connect with the people around her. KIDS: Yes, kids 10+DOGS: YesCATS: YesTraining: Snowglobe is still in the very early stages of settling in, so for now her routine is all about comfort and feeling safe. She spends most of her time relaxing in her bed inside her open crate, which is clearly her preferred safe space. She has been reliably using the wee-wee pads set up in her penned area, and she sleeps in her crate at night, though she feels most secure when someone is nearby. At this point, building trust and consistency is more important than formal training, and she is doing well with the gentle routine that helps her feel supported.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.

Personality: Sweet, loving, playful, and full of curiosity- Smarties is the complete full package. He loves spending time with his people and doggy friends and will happily greet everyone with a wagging tail.

This smart boy is eager to please and making steady progress every day.WHY DID THEY COME TO WISE: Puppy mills overbreed to the point where they produce more dogs than they can sell. Dogs like Smarties were rejected for reasons ranging from birth defects, being born with the wrong color fur or eyes, or just simply because no one wanted to purchase them. When the dogs are not sold, the puppy mills destroy them, and it is legal to do so. WISE has recently partnered with a group to save these unwanted dogs - healthy, unhealthy, and/or with birth defects - who are destined to be killed for no reason.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.
