Story
My name is GRUMPY and I’m a 5y M Tan Shih Tzu X. I’m 15 lbs of PURE SWEET GROUCHINESS. I was brought to a police precinct in the Bronx, NY and luckily the rescue was able to save me before I was taken to the shelter. I was affectionately named Grumpy because I was not immediately warm and fuzzy with the foster mom and growled at her a lot… but once I got to know her and she went slow with me to introduce me to her household… I trusted her and she can do anything to me now. I’m a little guarded with strangers and rightly so because I was pretty much neglected by my previous family. I’m housebroken and walk well on the leash and I can be picked up and handled as long as you slow. I’m a nice guy but nervous at first so I need someone who is going to be patient and believe in me and give me the TLC I need. I’m good with small dogs but am afraid of big dogs and will snap/snark at them. I’ve not met any cats so not sure about them and best if I don’t go with any young kids. I prefer to be the ONLY DOG so I can get all the attention that I never got in my previous home. My only other vice is that it’s not easy to groom me.. I’m nervous around objects coming to my face so I need to go to an experienced groomer but I was fine being handled by the vet. I need a QUIET ADULT ONLY home with someone or a couple that are home a lot and have had previous experience with a “grumpy” dog and are willing to give me the TLC and believe in me to make me the SWEET AND LOVING dog I know I can be!! If that’s you.. pls request an application by sending an email to: INFO@TAILSOFLOVERESCUE.ORGMarch 26, 2024, 7:19 pm

Story
Preciosa is a 10-year-old, 12-pound female maltese mix from the NYCACC.She lives up to her name and is just the most precious, loyal dog. Preciosa enjoys a good snuggle, gets so excited for walks and playing with toys.  During her time with her foster family, she has been working on her house training. She does great on a leash around the neighborhood but can be a bit unsure when exploring a new area. Her forever family will need to continue building Preciosa’s confidence. She does best with routine. She loves being with her people but also has not displayed separation anxiety. As long as she has access to her “cozy” spot, she’s happy to snooze and await your return home with a happy tail wag. Preciosa is looking for a low key family in her elder years. She appreciates downtime and relaxed paced walks around the neighborhood.  She does well with other dogs and although she doesn't have any feline foster siblings, we think she would be fine with them as well. We would recommend she go to a home with older children. Vaccinated for rabies, DA2PP, and bordetella. Heartworm negative, neutered, and microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. To apply for Preciosa, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the animal is on our website, they are still available. Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable dog, or final size of any of our adoptable puppies. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the dog into our rescue. Adoptions: adopt@waggytailrescue.org ##1972198##

Story
Just as charming as her name suggests, meet Strudel! This delightful girl is a 7-month-old Maltese/Shih Tzu blend, tipping the scales at 11 pounds.

She thrives on attention and adores being the center of affection, relishing every moment spent in the comfort of warm laps and gentle strokes. A natural-born companion, Strudel eagerly welcomes the company of all, forging friendships with both humans and fellow canines alike (cats too!). Her foster journey has seen her diligently mastering the essentials—housebreaking, leash manners, and crate training—with impressive dedication.
