Story
Meet Bailey and Charlie! They are both Maltese/Yorkie mixes; Bailey (the lighter colored one) is a female around age 16, and Charlie (the darker colored one) is a male around age 12-13. These two senior pups came to Husky House when their elderly owner unfortunately passed away. Bailey and Charlie are sweet, affectionate dogs who love to be pet, held, and sit in your lap. They are good with people and other dogs; they have never been cat tested, but would likely also do well with cats. Please help these sweet seniors live out their golden years in a loving home! Interested in adopting? Please visit www.huskyhouse.org today to fill out an application.August 29, 2025, 11:42 pm

Story
Theodore was born June 6th, 2021 as the runt of the litter. I have had him since he was born. His mom is a Maltese dachshund mix and his dad a Maltese yorkie mix. Theodore is very very friendly. He has never bitten anybody in his life but he loves to nibble and play with anyone big or small. He has a lot of energy and requires daily stimulation and cuddles. He can stay in a gate if need be for short periods of time although he does not like it. Especially if there are guests in the house because he wants to play and be involved. He knows a few basic command like sit, leave it, spin. He answers to Theo, Theodore and Bear. He is overall a lovely companion and a very special boy. He just needs a lot of attention, not for a family that is always gone.

Story
Disposition: A kind, gentle dog who gets along well with other dogs. She doesn’t bite and generally enjoys companionship, though she tends to prefer attention on her own terms. Personality:Affectionate and loyal. She loves when she’s the center of attention, but she’s not demanding and can be content with quiet, close bonding. House training: Trained to go outside to pee. If she’s not able to go outside (or if certain situations arise), she will use her pee pad. Ideal home: A loving family or person who appreciates a calm, affectionate dog and can provide consistent attention. She would thrive in a home where she can be part of the family without too much competition for your attention. Compatibility:Good with other dogs, has shown no signs of aggression. Likely to do well in homes with respectful, gentle pets. Background: Originally adopted a couple of months ago. Her current family became unable to care for dogs due to pregnancy and a newborn, but she deserves a loving, 4everhom

Story
Meet Coco Coco is a 7-year-old, 9 lb female Maltese mix from NYCACC who has adjusted beautifully to city life. She’s a gentle, calm, and well-behaved little lady who truly loves a peaceful, cozy routine. Coco’s favorite activities include belly rubs, lounging on the couch, and napping the day away. She’s very content relaxing in her bed or curled up next to her people and doesn’t struggle with separation anxiety—she’s happy knowing her cozy spot is waiting for her. She walks nicely on leash and has been doing very well with housetraining in her foster home. Coco is happiest spending her days enjoying quiet walks followed by plenty of downtime, whether that’s curled up on the couch or tucked into her bed. Coco would thrive in a quiet household and is looking to be the only pet in the home, where she can soak up all the love and attention. We also feel she’d be most comfortable in an adult-only home with a calm environment. If you’re looking for a loving, low-key companion who appreciates comfort, cuddles, and a slower pace of life, Coco may be your perfect match Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, and bordetella, heartworm negative, neutered and microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.   To apply for Coco, 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 dog 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 ##2636756##
