Story
* Hunter will be at our Meet & Greet Event on 6/10 from 12-3pm @ Margaritaville Hotel in Times Square. We will be processing applications for him after this event. * Hunter is a 10 year old, 25lbs, mixed breed from the NYACC!. Don't be fooled by his age; Hunter has a ton of puppy-like energy left! He is a born & bred New Yorker who loves living in the city! Hunter enjoys walks, snuggling, and his chews. Hunter doesn't know any commands yet, but he has great manners inside and outside of the apartment. He's working on learning "sit" and "shake," and would love to continue his studies with his forever family! During his time with his foster family, he seems to be not house-trained. He's making great progress getting on a bathroom schedule in his foster home.  Hunter is a fantastic walker! Walking and sniffing are two of his favorite things, and he happily calmly next to his person when on leash. He loves to make new friends with people he meets on his walks. Hunter is a sweet, affectionate, playful pup.  His forever family will need to continue working with Hunter on his house training to reinforce and advance the progress he's been making. He has done well in his crate during the day after a few minutes of whining. Hunter loves to be cozy with his foster family and can often be found lounging on his favorite chair, or chewing on his favorite bone. Hunter is looking for a medium-active family that can provide him with lots of playtime and plenty of walks.   He appreciates downtime and active moments! Hunter has a very chill personality. He would be equally happy as the only dog, or with another friendly dog. Hunter does well with another dog. We think Hunter would be fine with children. Vaccinated for rabies, DA2PP, and bordetella. Heartworm negative, neutered, and microchipped. Flea and tick prevention due 6/1. Heartworm prevention due xx/xx. Please apply using the following instructions if you are interested in adopting one of our Waggytails: Visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption 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. Adoptions: adopt@waggytailrescue.org ##1727221##

Story
Meet our mighty Maltese mix, Milo! This little 8lb guy is a year old, but don't let his tiny size fool you -- he has a big personality! Milo is a true lap dog who loves being close to his people. Milo is a smart and playful pup who loves keeping his body and mind active with puzzles, chew sticks, playtime, and walks. He also LOVES his fellow canines and would thrive in a home where he can have a canine bestie. As loving and playful as he is, Milo finds life a bit stressful (honestly same). He's been working with a trainer to help build his confidence so that he can start to feel cozy and comfortable in his forever home, and we're happy to report that he's making incredible progress. Milo would thrive with an experienced adopter outside the city who can help keep up his training in between the playtime and snuggles. In return, he'll return the love tenfold. Will Milo be your main man? Approved adopters interested in Milo can email adopt@heartsandbonesrescue.com for more info. If you're not approved yet, apply today at heartsandbonesrescue.com

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.   MONA was transferred to GaDaH from a high kill shelter in Texas on 22nd April 2023. We take a lot of pictures and videos and don't always have the time to post them on the dogs individual webpage and adoption site, so we ask that you go to the rescue  YouTube channel  and  photo albums on our Facebook page  to see a LOT of pictures and videos.      MONA is spayed rabies, core vaccines, heartworm/tick tested negative. She is on monthly prevention, microchipped, has an estimated date of birth of 30 March 2012 and at the time of transport weighed 18 pounds. We have no way of knowing what the actual breed is, so it is up to people to look at the pictures and video's to make up their own mind. MONA was severely matted when she was picked up by animal control, however, was shaved down at the shelter. She was with a foster family for just over a week and did great. MONA is available for adoption from Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine for an adoption fee of $550.       This adoption fee covers the cost of running a brick and mortar rescue as well as any transport, veterinary, food,   treats, toys costs and the many expenses that rescues endure to keep the pets in their care safe, and happy.     Be sure to read all the information and if interested, go to the rescue website to submit an adoption application. https://www.giveadogahome-rescue.org/forms/form?formid=5838 The rescue buys food in bulk, by the truck load and there are a variety of brands and flavors. None of the food given is less than a 4* food rating. There have not been issues with eating any of the varying foods. It is important that you do your research on the ingredients and speak to your vet or a nutritionist on grain vs grain free! &#226&#128&#139You MUST understand that dogs need time to decompress and adapt to their new environment and home. It is a HUGE transition they make from the kill shelter, being vetted, on transport for 3 days and arriving in Maine where the temperature and such is very different to what they have only known. In rescue there is what is known as the "3 Point Rule" Days 1-3 your dog is stressed, anxious, confused as to where they are now. Weeks 1-3 your dog is adjusting, settling in, learning things. At the 3-month point, your dog understands they are home, and have built up a trusting relationship where they feel loved and secure. If you feel that you have the heart and home to give this precious soul a wonderful life, please go to our website, under the ADOPTION INFO tab, complete, then submit the APPLICATION. Our process takes around 1-2 days, and ensuring your references are aware that we will be calling, could speed up the process. Once you have been approved, we discuss any questions in regards to the dog you are wanting to adopt, then we can schedule your appointment to come to the rescue in Sebec, Maine for meet/greet/adopt Please do NOT submit an application if you are not looking to take home a new best friend within the next few weeks. https://www.giveadogahome-rescue.org/forms/form?formid=5838 ALL Dogs are LOCATED AT THE RESCUE IN SEBEC, MAINE. We post in various states along the east coast and Canada where we have had lots of successful adoptions to enable more exposure for these beautiful saved souls. Families will need to be prepared to travel to the rescue to meet and take home their new best friend. Sebec is located just outside the towns of Dover-Foxcroft and Milo (approx. 8 miles) and approx. 45 miles from Bangor. There are also lots of hotels, motels, pet friendly accommodations and wonderful camp-sites for the more adventurous families and what a great way to get to know your new best friend.

Story
Don’t let his looks fool you! While Peter came in severely matted to the shelter, we had no choice but to have his fur trimmed down so her can breathe, but it will surely grow back out in no time! Peter is 12 Pound Maltese Mix who is just 2 years old! Peter feels most comfortable indoors (i.e. home). His favorite activity is receiving pets and cuddling. Peter likes to be nearby his humans and follows his foster mom from room to room. Peter loves toys, treats, and gets super excited when he sees his leash. He leaps up and down when he is happy. Outside, Peter is quite timid/cautious. He likes going for walks, but can get overstimulated and anxious when meeting new people/dogs. Once you've gained Peters trust, he is a total mush! He will ask for lots of pets and cuddles and will prod your hand with his nose to let you know to keep going. Indoors peter is a good balance of playful and calm. After coming inside from a walk, he gets the zoomies and loves to prance around with his toys. He is a very springy and happy dog. Outside and when he is in an unfamiliar setting, Peter is very shy. His foster mom shares her favorite things about him are: He is such a LOVEBUG once he warms up to you; He has so much personality & spunk; His springy jumps and when he stands on his hind legs to ask for attention (he looks like a meerkat).  Peter’s ideal home would be a calm and quiet household where Peter can get lots and lots of loving. Peter would be the best work from home buddy. Perhaps, even a household with another more confident resident dog who could help Peter come out of his shell!
