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. TO BE CONSIDERED, PLEASE FILL OUT OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION We only process complete applications and providing false information immediately disqualifies you from adopting. https://gingerbreaddogs.org/adopt-overview/adoption-application/ Please follow our Facebook page to see new dogs as they arrive and to keep up on the daily shenanigans: https://www.facebook.com/gingerbreaddogs ABOUT OUR PROCESS: WE ONLY CONTACT APPLICANTS WITH WHOM WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD.

Unfortunately, we do not have the manpower to reply to all applicants. We also do not have the manpower to accept phone calls. Everything we know about the dog is posted above. Our adoption process is on our website. You can see more about our daily operations on our Facebook page. PLEASE call your vet office right now and give them permission to speak with rescues if you are applying to adopt from any rescue. Ask them to mark your file. If they will not speak with us, we will move on to the next application and you will not be considered. We consider out-of-area adoptions on a case-by-case basis. All meet & greets and adoptions are held in north New Jersey, and we do not transport our pups. You must come to NJ. We also do not “hold” dogs. It is “first qualified, first come” and our expectation is you will move quickly to conduct the meet & greet if you are approved. An approved application does not guarantee adoption of any dog from our rescue, and we reserve the right to deny adoption at any point during the process.

Story

Nigiri is a sweet senior Maltese boy who is searching for a soft place to land and a heart to call home. With his snowy white coat and gentle soul, Nigiri embodies everything special about senior dogs—quiet loyalty, deep gratitude, and love that feels calm and unconditional. Nigiri doesn’t need long walks or constant activity. What he treasures most is companionship. He loves curling up beside his person, resting peacefully, and simply being near. Nigiri is house trained and good with other dogs - in fact, he must go to a home with at least one other dog as we feel that he would struggle as an only dog. Although he is looking for his forever person who wants a quiet, loving companion, we have also discovered that he is good with children. When Nigiri looks at you, it’s as if he’s saying thank you—for your time, your kindness, and your love. Nigiri would do best in a calm, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by patience and affection. Senior dogs like Nigiri are often overlooked, but they have a way of changing your life in the quietest, most meaningful ways. Nigiri just had a badly needed dental and he now has no teeth which means he should be on a soft food diet. He is also diabetic and will require daily insulin injections as well as glucose monitoring. But he is such a sweet and jaunty little fellow. He is ready to give all the love he has left—he just needs someone to give him a chance. If you’re looking for a loyal companion and a truly special soul, Nigiri is waiting. Age: 10 years Weight: 12 pounds Breed: Maltese mix Ideal Home: Quiet, loving, low-energy Temperament: Gentle, affectionate, calm Interested in adopting Nigiri?

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: SnowbabyBREED: MalteseDOB: Aug 6, 2016 (9 years 5 months)Home Recommendation: Snowbaby finds the most comfort when she can sleep right next to her person to feel calm and safe. She is a sweet, sensitive girl who can be startled by loud noises and would thrive with a calm, patient companion who can offer her security and peace as she enjoys her golden years. As she continues to settle in, she will do best with a patient adopter who can go with the flow, offer reassurance, and provide a consistent, comforting routine as she builds confidence in her new home. Snowbaby would thrive in a home with another dog, as she loves to follow their lead and picks up on training quickly. Shes a sweet, smart pup whos ready to continue blossoming in a loving home.WHY DID THEY COME TO WISE: Snowbaby 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: Snowbaby is a gentle little shadow who loves to follow her person from room to room when she isnt catching up on her naps. She is slowly learning to trust, becoming more comfortable with people and allowing pets and being picked up. Despite her calm nature, she has surprising bursts of speed and enjoys short zooms around the house. KIDS: Yes, 6+DOGS: YesCATS: YesTraining: Snowbaby is doing so well! She has an amazing appetite and is a quick learner whos already making great progress with pee pad training. She has also started walking on a leash and is gaining confidence every day. She feels best being near her person at night. She has recently shown a preference for sleeping in a soft travel playpen rather than a traditional crate, and she is most comfortable sleeping on a blanket on the floor or tucked into a small corner instead of a dog bed. She will need additional time, consistency, and patience as she continues to learn and settle into a routine.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.

Video calls are available prior to adoption, and adopters can communicate with our rescue team in real time through our official organization and app-based messaging channels throughout the process. ----------- • Rescue Story: Meet Tonki👋 In April 2025, a group of small dogs—believed to be victims of an illegal breeding operation—were found abandoned together on the streets of South Korea. Tonki was one of them. Now, he’s ready to leave his difficult past behind and begin a new chapter as a beloved member of a loving family. Having learned how to live happily with humans in his foster home, Tonki is patiently waiting for his forever home—where he’ll be cherished, protected, and loved the way he truly deserves. • Personality: Sweet, Friendly, Bright Tonki is a lovable, easygoing pup with a bright, happy energy. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves showing his humans just how much love he has to give! While he may need a little extra time to warm up to adult men, once he does, he becomes a loyal and devoted furry companion. • Affinity with - Dogs: Wonderful with other dogs! He’d do great as an only dog or as a second dog. - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Good with people, including kids / Needs a bit more time to warm up to adult men. • House Training: Fully housebroken - using pee pads indoors and going potty outside. • Walking Manners: Super gentle on leash and loves going for walks! • Bathing/Brushing: Tolerates both well. • Separation Anxiety: May howl briefly when first left alone, but once he settled, he relaxes and rests peacefully by himself. • Barks/Howls: Occasional barking when a male family member approaches suddenly. • Car Rides: Comfortable and calm • Appetite/Food Allergies: Big eater! / No food allergies found so far. • Likes/Dislikes: Likes to play with toys that make noise. / Not a fan of being lifted suddenly by a male family member • Shedding level (1~10): 1-2 • Health: Currently a healthy pup! He tested positive for heartworm when rescued, completed treatment successfully, and tested negative in Dec 2025. ----------- **Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: International transportation, Customs and export documentation, Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee.
