Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Little Man (aka Snowman) is a handsome boy who is looking for a furever home. Little Man is now in a NJ foster home. Little Man is a sweet, loving boy who loves to be held and loved on. He is truly a lap dog!  He is friendly with everyone including other dogs. He is calm and well behaved, happiest snuggling with his favorite people - foster mom and dad. Little Man is fixed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. He recently had a dental cleaning too.  Little Man has a grade three heart murmur so he is on Vetmedin (an oral medication) to help his heart function more efficiently. Little Man  tested positive for heartworm. Due to the murmur, he is being treated via slow-kill heartworm treatment which includes oral antibiotics every 6 months and heartworm prevention over a period of 1-3 years until the heartworms are no longer present.  His adoption fee is $300.   Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training   prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. How to Adopt Me! If you are interested in learning more about me, and possibly making me part of your family, please go to wagoninn.rescuegroups.org. Click on the orange  Online Adoption Application  button to fill out an application. A Wag On Inn volunteer will be in touch soon!

Story
Sapphire came to our family 6 years ago as a puppy, with nickname of Mr Burn given by his breeder, as he has cute overbite. He has been giving me and my wife lots of joy and fun. However, as both my parents and in-laws have fear of dogs, their visit to us become a bit drama, and my wife and I have intense job that we sometimes can't afford to take dogs out to let them have fun. I am looking to put him and Charlie (the brown, 1.5-year poodle showing in picture) to good hands who love and care dogs. BTW, both of them love outdoor very much. If you can do it, that will be great!

Story
🌸 Meet Blossom 🌸 Like my name suggests, I’m a flower slowly blooming — opening up to show just how beautiful I am inside and out. I’m an 8-year-old Maltese mix weighing 16 pounds, and I’m ready to find a loving, patient home to call my own. My rescue doesn’t know much about my past, but they do know how far I’ve come. When I first arrived, I was very scared. But thanks to the kindness and care I’ve received, I’m becoming braver every day. I even got a fresh summer haircut so you can see how cute I truly am! I walk well on a leash, and I know to go to the bathroom outside or use a pad indoors — whichever works best for you. I’ve also been spayed and had a full dental cleaning, so I’m all set for my next chapter. All I ask is that you give me time and patience as I continue to bloom. In return, I’ll give you all the love my little heart can offer. 💕 Copy this link and paste into your browser and fill out https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/POSH/Dog

Story
** Current location: in a boarding house in South Korea ** Meet Hani👋 In April 2025, a group of small dogs—believed to be survivors of an illegal breeding operation—were discovered abandoned on the streets of South Korea. Hani was among them. The condition of her sagging nipples suggested a tough past, likely having been used repeatedly for breeding. Now, Hani is ready to move on from that painful chapter and experience the warmth of a loving home. She’s hoping to find a forever family who will give her the care and affection she’s always deserved. • Personality: Gentle, Calm, Sweet Hani likely hasn’t experienced much kindness or affection from people in the past. She doesn’t go out of her way to ask for attention from volunteers, but she’s an incredibly gentle and endearing little girl. With time, patience, and love, we’re confident that she’ll begin to open up—and her true personality will blossom, just like any cherished family dog. • Affinity with - Dogs: Gentle around other dogs - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Good with adults / Not tested with kids, but we assume she would be good with all gentle people! • Walking Manners: In training—she gets quite nervous on a leash due to a lack of walking experience and tries to run away. With consistent practice, she’s likely to improve over time. • Housetrained: Will need housetraining in a new environment • Bathing/Brushing: Very good and calm • Car Sickness: Comfortable with car rides • Separation Anxiety: None • Barks/Howls: Almost none. • Appetite/Food Allergies: No food allergies found so far • Shedding level (1~10): 2-3 • Likes: She enjoys getting pets! • Health: She has a mild yeast infection in the ears, which is one of the most common types of ear infections, often related to allergies. This usually improves with a bit of care—feeding him an allergy-friendly diet and cleaning his ears at home with ear drops every three days.

Story
** Current location: in a boarding house in South Korea ** Meet Lulu👋 In April 2025, a group of small dogs—likely victims of an illegal breeding operation—were found abandoned together on the streets of South Korea. Lulu was one of them. Her sagging nipples hinted at the harsh life she had endured, likely used repeatedly for breeding. Lulu is ready to leave her difficult past behind and finally enjoy life as a cherished member of a loving family. She’s looking for a forever home where she’ll be cared for and loved the way she deserves. • Personality: Gentle, Calm, Sweet Lulu doesn’t seem to have received much love from humans in the past. She doesn’t actively seek out attention or affection from volunteers, but she’s such a sweet and gentle little girl. We believe that with time and patience, once she learns how to interact and bond with people, her true personality will shine—just like any beloved family dog. • Affinity with - Dogs: Gentle around other dogs - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Good with adults / Not tested with kids, but we assume she would be good with all gentle people! • Walking Manners: In training—she gets quite nervous on a leash due to a lack of walking experience but also seems curious about the outdoors. With consistent practice, she’s likely to improve over time. • Housetrained: Will need housetraining in a new environment • Bathing/Brushing: Very good and calm • Car Sickness: Comfortable with car rides • Separation Anxiety: None • Barks/Howls: Almost none. • Appetite/Food Allergies: No food allergies found so far • Shedding level (1~10): 2-3 • Likes: She likes getting pets! • Health: When rescued, Lulu was weak and suffering from hematuria caused by a bladder stone, which required immediate surgery. Thankfully, she has made a full recovery! However, she will need a bit of ongoing special care, such as a urinary health diet and limited calcium intake.
