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: RosemaryBREED: PugDOB: Jun 15, 2023 (2 years 5 months)Home Recommendation: Rosemary would thrive in a home where her people are around more often than not, as she bonds deeply and loves staying by your side. Since discovering shes safe, she hasnt wanted to leave her fosters company and is happiest simply being part of whatever youre doing. She would do well in a calm, patient home that understands shes still coming out of her shell. She isnt bothered by other dogs and is perfectly content to coexist with them, even if she isnt ready to play just yet. She tends to stay a bit reserved around canine friends for now, but with time and gentle encouragement, shell likely grow more comfortable. A household that can give her the space and support to continue building confidence would be a great match.WHY DID THEY COME TO WISE: Rosemary 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, giving her a second chance to experience the love and warmth of a real home. Now shes ready to start that new chapter!Personality: Rosemary is an affectionate, loyal companion who would do best with someone who appreciates a loving shadow and is ready for a devoted cuddle buddy. Rosemary is just the sweetest little girl who needs to be in a good routine and shown lots of love, she will be a delight to whoever adopts her! KIDS: Yes, kids 10+DOGS: YesCATS: YesTraining: Rosemary is settling in well and is okay in her crate at night, though shes much more comfortable when someone is in the roombeing alone still makes her a bit uneasy. Shes just beginning her leash journey; while she hasnt gone on full walks yet, she practices on-leash in the backyard and does well, even if sudden noises still make her a little nervous. Shes adjusting to her new environment at her own pace. Rosemary has also been great with pee-pee pads from day one, and with continued routine and guidance, she shows strong potential to be fully potty trained to go outside.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 is a bit shy and on the mellow side, she would thrive in a calmer, slower-paced household that can give her the time and space she needs to feel fully comfortable. She gets along well with the dogs in her foster home, though she tends to keep to herself, so a respectful canine companion or a home where she can enjoy quiet independence would be a great fit.WHY DID THEY COME TO WISE: Sage spent her entire life as a breeding dog in a puppy mill.

Shes affectionate, attentive, and never shy about giving lots of sweet kisses. Her loving nature makes her a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal, close-by best friend.KIDS: Yes, kids 10+DOGS: YesCATS: YesTraining: Sage has been settling nicely into a routine and is doing well in her crate at night. Shes currently using the wee-wee pads in the house and making steady progress. She hasnt started leash training yet, but well be working on that as she becomes more comfortable. With continued patience and consistency, shell pick up new skills in no time.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
Kendra is one of five puppies born to Josie.  She and her siblings have been in foster care since birth and are highly social. Kendra and her brother Kyle have a more wirey hair look to them that they get from Mom it appears, while the other 3 look more pug mix.  Mom is only about 10 pounds.  We have no information on Dad and don't know what influence Dad will have on size but we would anticipate the pups staying on the smaller side. They've all been around other dogs and got along great (no cat experience).  All of the puppies weigh between 10 and 12 pounds. They've had 2 in the series of 3 distemper/parvo combo vaccines and are too young right now for rabies.  Spay/neuters will be arranged under the rescue when age appropriate.  All puppies and dogs from our organization are microchipped.    Interested in adopting me?  To fill out an application visit 3 Hearts 4 Paws.  Please note: we do not adopt out of state.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 13, 2025, 11:01 pm
