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: PigletBREED: Maltese x Shih TzuDOB: Sep 18, 2024 (2 years)GENDER: MaleHOME RECOMMENDATION: Piglet would do best in an active, patient home that is ready to give him plenty of exercise, playtime, and positive attention. He has lots of puppy energy and enjoys staying busy, whether he is chasing his dog or cat friends or entertaining himself with a favorite toy. He will need a family who can provide consistent structure, patience, and plenty of opportunities to play. A home with another playful dog could be a great fit for him.PERSONALITY: Piglet is a fun-loving, energetic pup who enjoys playing with toys and spending time with his furry friends. He is always on the move and loves having fun, so he would thrive in a home with people who can keep him engaged, play with him, and give him plenty of attention. Piglet also has a sweet, affectionate side and loves curling up on his person's lap for some cuddle time.KIDS: YesDOGS: YesCATS: YesTRAINING: Piglet is doing well with his leash skills and really enjoys going for walks, especially when he can take his time exploring and sniffing his surroundings. He is also using wee-wee pads. With continued consistency, positive reinforcement, and patience, he should continue to make great progress with his training.WHY DID THEY COME TO WISE: Some large-scale breeding programs occasionally have dogs and puppies they are unable to place due to medical needs, birth defects, appearance differences, or simply because there is not enough demand. WISE partners with groups working to help provide these dogs with a second chance rather than an uncertain future. We are committed to rescuing and caring for dogs of all kinds — healthy, medically fragile, senior, or those with special needs — and giving them the love, safety, and opportunity they deserve.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.
