Story

This sweet male Maltese mix is about 10 pounds and full of charm. He’s still working on house training, so he’s looking for a patient adopter who’s willing to put in some time and training. With consistency and guidance, he has all the potential to be a great little companion. He would do well in a quiet, gentle home. He gets along well with all other dogs. He doesn’t seem to have a high prey drive so he would likely be fine with cats, He is crate trained and is doing well with house training. All our dogs/pups are spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. They have been dewormed and are current on vaccinations.

Story

PLEASE READ BELOW FOR OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION LINK MEET DEXTER the MALTI-CHON-POO North New Jersey Dexter is an 18lb 10 yo Maltese-Bichon-Poodle and the sweetest little dude. Dexter was loved his whole life but unfortunately his elderly owner could no longer care for him. He is loving, gentle, and quiet and would be a wonderful companion for someone who is retired or works from home and wants a buddy to hang out with. Dexter loves to nap and EAT and enjoys meandering around the yard sniffing all the smells. In his former home he didn’t have a yard so he is accustomed to going for walks. He lived with another small breed dog in his former home and currently in his foster home and doesn’t have much interest in them. He very much prefers his human but he is pretty independent as well. He is just an all-around easy going guy that is just happy to have a soft bed and yummy food with some pets and loving in between. Dexter is not a fussy eater but his tummy was a bit of figuring out. He landed on a basic kibble and has been regular since. He was brought UTD, HW negative, had a dental and cherry eye removal (it won’t come back), full blood work and xrays, he is neutered, and he is housebroken for outside but he will use potty pads if available. He is a loving little guy that deserves his special person for the holidays. If you are interested in meeting Dexter please fill out our adoption application (link below) and read our process (below and on our website). Please note we do not reply to all applications we receive, unfortunately we do not have the bandwidth to do so at this time. We only reply if we would like to move forward with your application and we will get in touch relatively quickly so please watch your email and answer your phone. Thank you very much in advance for your understanding!! His adoption donation is $450.

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: Ginger SnapBREED: Maltese x Yorkshire TerrierDOB: Aug 26, 2013 (12 years 2 months)Home Recommendation: Ginger Snap is a sweet golden girl who would thrive in a calm, patient homeideally with someone familiar with senior pups and their gentle rhythms. She enjoys one slow walk a day, long naps, pup cups, and cheese. Some days shes energetic and curious, and other days shes content to sleep in. Shell make the perfect companion for someone who appreciates a mellow, loving, easygoing senior by their side.WHY DID THEY COME TO WISE: Ginger Snap 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: Ginger is a laid-back girl whose perfect adopter will understand that her favorite things in life are simple: resting, eating, and having a little fun at her own pace. Shes a senior soul who enjoys comfort, cozy naps, gentle affection, and snacks more than adventure. She offers endless sweetness, calm companionship, and the joy of loving a dog who knows exactly who she is.KIDS: Yes, kids 10+DOGS: YesCATS: YesTraining: Ginger Snap loves her daily walk, but its important to let her choose the pace and directionthis is her special time, and she enjoys exploring on her own terms. Because she can tire quickly, her person should always bring a bag in case she wants to be carried part of the way. When she wakes up, her routine works best when shes picked up immediately and taken outside so she could go potty. She does still have accidents, and her adopter should understand that this comes from age and occasional confusion, not misbehavior. At night she sleeps comfortably in her crate, though truly she can curl up and rest anywhere and be perfectly content. With patience, consistency, and kindness, Ginger will be a loving and easygoing companion.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.
