Story

These two sweet brothers are five and six years old and absolutely inseparable, so they need a home where they can stay together. They love to play, keep each other company, and bring so much joy and energy to the house. They do best with supervision indoors, as they may have accidents if left alone, and they can be vocal when excited—barking at people, other pets, or even when it’s mealtime. They need someone who truly loves dogs and has plenty of time to spend with them—ideally a retired person, a stay-at-home parent, or anyone who can give them the love, patience, and attention they deserve. With the right person, they’ll be the most loyal and affectionate companions.

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: SnowballBREED: MalteseDOB: May 24, 2019 (6 years 5 months)Home Recommendation: Snowball would thrive in a gentle, patient home that can help her build confidence at her own pace. Shes quite timid and often cowers when someone approaches, but once shes in your arms, she melts right in and will peacefully fall asleep on your lap. Shes beginning to show small signs of trustlike coming forward to lick your hand before retreating againand these moments show just how much love she has to give once she feels safe. A quiet, understanding household that can offer reassurance, steady affection, and a calm environment would be the perfect match for her.WHY DID THEY COME TO WISE: Snowball 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. Now shes ready to start that new chapter!Personality: Snowball is an absolute cuddle bunny who wants nothing more than to be by your side. She happily sleeps in bed with her person and finds comfort just being close. If she knows youre home but not right next to her, shell let out the sweetest little howl until you returnher adorable way of asking for reassurance and company. Shes affectionate, devoted, and truly happiest when shes wrapped up in love and attention.KIDS: Yes, kids 10+DOGS: Yes, a patient dog willing to teach her the ropes on how to be playfulCATS: YesTraining: Snowball currently has a crate set up inside a pen, and while she likes to sit in her crate with the door open,being confined makes her uncomfortable. Shes still learning how to navigate the world on a leash. A harness works much better for her than anything around her neck, especially when paired with a coat that helps it fit securely. She is still figuring out both outdoor potty routines and pee-pad training. She will eat certain dog cookies if theyre placed down for her to eat. Shes very much at the beginning of her training journey and will blossom with patience, consistency, and a gentle approach.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.

Please keep this in mind prior to applying.NAME: Mary JaneBREED: Maltese x PoodleDOB: Jun 28, 2025 (16 weeks)GENDER: femaleHome Recommendation: Mary Jane would benefit from a home where someone is around often to offer companionship would be ideal, as they truly enjoy human connection. She also loves spending time outdoorswhether its lounging in the yard, soaking up the fresh air, or taking leisurely walks. A home with access to a safe outdoor space or nearby parks would suit her perfectly. Overall, she would do best with someone who appreciates her sweet, gentle nature and enjoys quiet moments both inside and outside together.Personality: Mary Jane is a gentle, affectionate dog that would thrive in a calm, loving home where they can be part of the familys daily life. She adores being around people and will happily curl up for a good cuddle session at the end of the day.KIDS: YesDOGS: YesCATS: YesTraining: Mary Jane is settling in beautifully and adapting well to her new routine. She enjoys going into her crate on her own to rest or chew on her toys. Leash training is off to a great startshe doesnt pull and often walks nicely beside you, though shell continue to need guidance as she grows. House training is going very well! She reliably uses the pee pad if needed and is starting to signal when she needs to go outside, where she potties without any issue.WHY DID THEY COME TO WISE: Puppy mills overbreed to the point where they produce more dogs than they can sell. Dogs like Mary Jane were rejected for reasons ranging from birth defects, being born with the wrong color fur or eyes, or just simply because no one wanted to purchase them. When the dogs are not sold, the puppy mills destroy them, and it is legal to do so. WISE has recently partnered with a group to save these unwanted dogs - healthy, unhealthy, and/or with birth defects - who are destined to be killed for no reason.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.

Because she can tire quickly, her person should always bring a bag in case she wants to be carried part of the way. When she wakes up, her routine works best when shes picked up immediately and taken outside so she could go potty. She does still have accidents, and her adopter should understand that this comes from age and occasional confusion, not misbehavior. At night she sleeps comfortably in her crate, though truly she can curl up and rest anywhere and be perfectly content. With patience, consistency, and kindness, Ginger will be a loving and easygoing companion.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!

Story

** Current Location: in a foster home in South Korea ** Meet Haengsoon! Your Future Best Friend Haengsoon is an incredibly adaptable dog who quickly made herself at home in her foster environment. She’s the kind of dog who can just lay back and relax without a fuss. Haengsoon adores people and is full of affection, often following her human around like a little shadow. While she’s not a fan of other dogs, she’s been well-trained with basic commands like sit, stay, lie down, come, no, and paw. She’s already accustomed to wearing a harness and enjoys grooming sessions, including brushing. Haengsoon has no interest in trash or human food, so you won't have to worry about her getting into mischief. Though she does shed a bit, her potty training is flawless—she knows how to use both the bathroom and pee pads perfectly. Haengsoon absolutely loves her walks and is always excited to go outside. She’s also a quiet companion who doesn’t bark when the doorbell rings or when people come inside. However, she may occasionally bark briefly if she hears sudden noises outside the door. Haengsoon isn’t a fan of having her nails trimmed, but she doesn’t suffer from separation anxiety, making her an easy-going and independent dog. If you’re looking for a loyal and loving companion who’s ready to fill your life with joy, Haengsoon might be the perfect match for you!
