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##

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

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. 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##

Meet Aretha! I’m a very sweet 6-year-old Puggle/Chihuahua gal with a beautiful face that puts a smile on your face , and I have soft black-and-tan coat. At just 18 pounds, I’m the perfect size—small enough to snuggle but cute enough to strut with style! I’m thriving in a loving foster home and enjoy spending time with my foster siblings, but I’d be just as happy as your one-and-only, soaking up all your attention. I walk nicely on a leash and love going out in the city to say hello to everyone I meet. I’ve been fully vetted, spayed, and am up to date on all my vaccinations. All I need now is a forever home where I can keep blossoming and share all the love I have to give. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle companion who’s ready to love and be loved, I might just be your girl. Apply to adopt me here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/POSH/Dog
