Story
• 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.

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: SnowdenBREED: MalteseDOB: Mar 31, 2015 (10 years 10 months)Home Recommendation: Snowden is a loving and devoted dog who thrives on companionship and being close to her favorite people.

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.

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!

Meet Milo! Rescued after an extremely rough start, Milo is doing very well in his foster home. According to his foster mom, he has put on 3 lbs, and is starting to play and really show his adorable personality. He is still eating multiple small meals a day to help him gain weight and he continues to get stronger every day. He will have an appointment at the end of the month with our surgeon to recheck his leg. Interested in adopting Milo?

Story
Pixie **Available for Foster-to-Adopt** Malti-Poo · 4 months · 9 lbs  Arriving via Flight to LGA | Arrival date TBD  Meet Pixie — the most adorable little soul to ever trade California sunshine for New York City sidewalks. This cream-coated charmer, believed to be a Malti-Poo, is a young pup who has already figured out the most important thing: she doesn't need to see the world to absolutely love it. Pixie was born blind — and honestly, you'd barely know it. She navigates her world with confidence, guided by an extraordinary sense of smell and hearing that make her remarkably in tune with everything and everyone around her. No limitations, no hesitation. Just a puppy who has figured out her own way of doing things, and does them beautifully. After finding herself in rescue on the West Coast, Pixie caught the attention of a wonderfully generous flight chaperone who's making her cross-country debut possible. From the Pacific to the Empire State — this tiny girl is ready for her next big chapter. And being as young as she is, she'll acclimate to new surroundings faster than you'd ever expect. Puppies are resilient that way. Pixie especially so. She's on the hunt for her perfect family in NYC — someone who will meet her where she is, learn her language, and let her fill their home with the kind of quiet, sweet joy that only a dog like Pixie can bring. She may experience the city differently than most, but something tells us she's going to love every single smell of it. Note: No additional photos, video or information about Pixie is available at this time. Learn more about the foster-to-adopt program.  Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, and bordetella, heartworm negative, microchipped and spayed/neutered. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. To apply for Pixie, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for a foster 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. **If placed outside of the 5 boroughs, must be willing to transport Pixie back to NYC for veterinary care and/or adoption events.** 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 ##2772791##

Jeffrey **Available for Foster-to-Adopt** Maltipoo · 9 months · 13 lbs  Arriving via Flight to JFK on Thursday, July 2  Meet Jeffrey — the most dapper little guy to ever trade California sunshine for New York City sidewalks. This cream-coated charmer, believed to be a Malti-Poo, is just 9 months old and already has the wardrobe to prove he means business. (Those gingham bow ties? Chef's kiss.) After finding himself in rescue on the West Coast, Jeffrey caught the attention of a wonderfully generous flight angel who's making his cross-country debut possible. From the Pacific to the Empire State — this pup is ready for his next big chapter. At just 13 pounds, he may be small, but his personality is full New York-sized. Jeffrey is on the hunt for his perfect family in NYC — and there's one non-negotiable: a resident pup to call his bestie. He's the kind of dog who thrives with a four-legged companion by his side, and honestly, what dog in the city doesn't deserve a sidekick? Note: No additional photos, video or information about Jeffrey is available at this time. Learn more about the foster-to-adopt program.  Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, and bordetella, heartworm negative, microchipped and spayed/neutered. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
