Story
Meet our super sweet and gentle 5-year-old pug girl. She’s shy and still learning the world, but gaining confidence and trust in humans every day. She’s a bit weary of the busy NYC streets and not yet fully leash-trained, so for now she feels safest inside. House training is a work in progress—she has occasional accidents and hasn’t mastered potty pads—but she’s tidy and never destructive! She is friendly with other dogs, and would likely do well in a home with another dog who can teach her the go around. She relaxes best in her crate (dim lights + soft music = bliss), and once she feels safe there, she’ll happily accept gentle pets. She eats and drinks well, sleeps through the night, and her curiosity about toys shows a playful spark. She needs a calm, patient home that celebrates small wins. If you love helping dogs blossom, she’ll be your little soulmate and she loves some cheese! 3 Keywords for your pup: Sweet, shy, curious!Energy Level (1= calm, 10= high energy): 6Barker? Or Quiet Pup?: Occasional barkerWalking Manners: She needs patience learning how to walk on a leash. Appetite: Great!Favorite Things: Sleeping in a comfy crate  ALL adoptions require a completed application and final contract. The application can be found at  WaldosRescue.org  and once you are approved to adopt you will be put in touch with the foster to see if it’s a good match. We are a RESCUE not a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We are unable to contact every applicant for every dog.  We will select the best applicant for each dog, based on the dogs needs. Waldos Rescue Pen is a 501c3 whose primary focus is rescuing dogs from the euthanasia list from high kill shelters throughout the United States and Korea. ##2487032##

Story
Meet Chatita (also lovingly called Cha Cha by her foster family) — a 3-year-old, 11-lb female pug mix with a big heart and a serious love for comfort Her name, Chatita, means "little flat-faced one" or "sweetie" in Spanish, often used affectionately for dogs like pugs due to their smushed features and small stature. Originally from Tijuana, Mexico, Chatita has adjusted beautifully to NYC life and is ready to find her forever home. Chatita has chronic dry eye, which is easily managed by daily eye drops. She is blind in her left eye, but it does not affect her daily life & her ability to navigate; she has completely adapted to it. Chatita’s perfect day includes cozy couch snuggles, leisurely walks, and a fun game of fetch. She’s a loving, cuddly, and delightfully silly little pup who prefers to stay close to her people — if you’re home, she’d much rather be in the same room with you She’s currently working on her obedience training and improving every day. Chatita is a pro with pee-pads. Walks outside are very exciting for her, and she’s still polishing her leash skills and learning to stay curb-side. With patience and consistency, she will soon become a pro outdoors as well! At night, Chatita does well sleeping in her crate, but don’t be surprised if she gives you a look that says, “Wouldn’t it be nicer if we were all together?” During the day, you’ll often find her curled up with her favorite stuffed football, supervising household activity from the comfort of the couch. Chatita is looking for a low-key family who appreciates a balance of downtime and light activity. She’s perfectly content watching a bit of chaos unfold around her — as long as she can do so comfortably from her couch throne. She does well on her own, with other dogs, and would be fine in a home with children. Chatita has not been cat tested. Her forever family will need to continue reinforcing the great progress she’s already made. In return, they’ll gain a loyal, affectionate companion who thrives on love and togetherness Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, and bordetella, heartworm negative, microchipped and spayed. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. To apply for Chatita, 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 ##2615519##

Story
Meet Helix, a 1 year old, 13 lb Chihuahua Pug mix! Foster mom describes him best in 3 words: Loving. Energetic. Curious. He’s always ready for naps and snuggles, with some charming bursts of zoomies, and very proudly passionate about his toys (and yes, socks made the VIP list… but he’s working on his sock chewing PhD ) Helix adores being near his people, loves gentle rubs, and finds comfort in the indoors where he can truly relax. He happily snuggles up for naps, self entertains with his favorite dog toys, and once comfortable, hilariously unleashes spurts of zoomie magic that keep his foster mom smiling daily. He enjoys meeting other dogs, greets them with polite sniffs, and will gleefully run around with them when invited. Helix thrives on routine and gentle reassurance. The sounds of city life can feel a little big sometimes, so cars and loud noises might spook him on walks but he gets braver every day. Hd does have a minor cleft (think: a tiny cleft nose and cleft lip, not a full cleft palate), and the best news is it doesn’t impact his life at all! He doesn’t need any special feeding, care, or medical support. No restrictions, no surgeries, no fancy routines!  ##2581080##
