Story

✅️Currently located in South Korea✅️ Meet Noah🤍 💙 Noah’s Account: @aki.noa.sushi 1. Health • Neutering/Spaying: Completed • Other: Microchipped; had bladder stone surgery and molar extraction. Fully blind in one eye due to cataracts. Experiences coughing when temperatures drop, requiring steroid medication if coughing occurs. Has partial hearing loss. All teeth except molars have been extracted, so he cannot eat hard treats. 2. Rescue Story • Noah was rescued from a breeding facility alongside Aji and Aki before Adogs officially formed. He was adopted, but after his adopter passed away suddenly in September 2024, Noah returned to Adogs. He is looking for a family to help him overcome his grief and begin a new chapter of life. 3. Personality & Habits • With People: Very affectionate and sweet, loves both strangers and familiar people, and often approaches first asking for pets. • With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs, both familiar and new friends. May show cute jealousy if another dog gets attention. • Separation Anxiety: Calm when left with Aki, though Aki has separation anxiety that affects Noah. If left with another dog or person, he waits quietly. • House Training: Fully pee pad trained (100% accuracy), though he prefers pooping outdoors. He tends to pee near the edge of the pad, so surrounding it with a fence or holder is helpful. • Hygiene/Grooming: Very calm and well-behaved during baths, drying, and brushing. • Walking on Leash: Walks well on a leash without pulling and keeps pace nicely. 4. Special Notes • May bark briefly when a stranger enters the room for the first time. In the evenings, he may bark for 5 minutes normally, or 20–30 minutes if he has extra energy. • Has a strong food drive and eats quickly when excited for meals, so feeding slowly and calmly is recommended.

Story

Meet Ghost, a three-year-old Maltese and Dachshund mix with tons of energy and an even bigger heart. Ghost is incredibly friendly, loves attention, and gets along great with other dogs, making him a wonderful companion for an active household. His current family adores him, but with a newborn baby now taking up their time and attention, they simply can’t give Ghost the training and care he deserves, particularly with potty training, which is still a work in progress. Ghost isn’t looking for a home because he’s unwanted, he’s looking for a home that can give him the time, patience, and love he truly deserves.

Story

Hello, We have had Snickers for 4 years. I got him from a friend who bred dogs, and he has been part of our family ever since. I am looking for a loving and responsible home for Snickers with someone who has the time to give him the attention and playtimes he deserves. Snickers is a very smart and protective dog. He is house-trained and very alert. He does bark quite a bit, especially when someone is at the door or when he sees a stranger he doesn't know. This is part of his protective nature. I would love for Snickers to go to someone who has the time, patience, and love to make him a part of their family. Finding the right home is very important to me. Looking to rehome him asap.

Story

Meet Stitch! Stitch is a 6-year-old, 10.5-pound Yorkie-Maltese mix who is basically the definition of a professional cuddle bug. This little gentleman is sweet, loyal, and ridiculously lovable—the kind of dog who will politely follow you around the house like your tiny, fluffy assistant. Rescued from the NYCACC alongside his housemate, Chloe (available soon!), Stitch has settled into apartment life with ease and has officially mastered the art of being the perfect city pup. His favorite hobbies include leisurely neighborhood strolls as if he owns the block, charming every neighbor into giving him pets, and offering the best standing hugs (yes, he stands on his back legs just to hug you ). Need a shadow? Stitch is accepting applications. Looking for the ultimate couch companion? He's already clocked in. Stitch is a smart little guy who is eager to please and listens well. He's almost fully housetrained and continues to make great progress with his training. He sleeps peacefully through the night in his crate and is perfectly content there, but if he had it his way, he'd be a full-time professional cuddler. Whether it's the couch, the bed, or simply lying at your feet, Stitch is happiest wherever his favorite people are. Stitch is looking for a quiet, low-key home where he can enjoy the simple things in life. He's not the type to demand constant activity—he's happiest relaxing by your side and soaking up your company. Stitch has a funny quirk where if he can scoot under the couch or table - he will! He can be shy at first, but opens up quickly. He is living with a dog and came from a home of many animals. If you're looking for the easiest roommate you'll ever have, Stitch just might be your perfect match. Apply to meet Stitch before he steals someone else's heart! NOTE: Stitch can go home after August 13th (post dental cleaning) Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, bordetella, neutered and microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. To apply to adopt Stitch, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an 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. Questions: adopt@waggytailrescue.org ##2795179##
