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
Come meet me and 100+ of my adoptable friends at Louie's Legacy Animal Rescue's MEGA adoption event, Home for the Holidays! Saturday, December 13th, 2025 at Paradise Island in Staten Island from 11am - 3pm! Meet Gravy Bowl! Gravy Bowl is 2 years old, and is a 17-pound pug mix with a big personality packed into a perfectly portable size. This sweet boy loves being part of whatever you’re doing — whether that’s exploring the neighborhood, joining you on a weekend adventure, or simply hanging out nearby as you go about your day. He’s great on leash, curious about the world, and always ready to trot along beside you. Playful and goofy, Gravy Bowl brings an infectious joy to every moment. He knows his basic commands, is wonderfully food-motivated, and is eager to learn and please. If you’re looking for a cheerful, social little companion who will happily join you in life’s big and small adventures, Gravy Bowl is your guy. He can’t wait to find his forever family and pour all his love into them — with a side of cuteness, of course. Gravy Bowl is being fostered in Hoboken, NJ. His adoption fee is $550. To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals. For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible. We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.

Story
🐾 Meet Taffy! 🐾 Taffy is a 1-year-old fuzzy Pug mix with a heart as big as her happy, wagging tail—which, by the way, doesn’t stop moving! This sweet girl is full of playful energy and joyful spirit, and she’s always up for fun or snuggles. Taffy is great with everyone she meets and absolutely loves chew toys, belly rubs, and zooming around in the yard. She’s also a top-tier cuddler who will happily curl up in your lap after a good play session. Because she loves to explore and run, a fenced yard is a must for this little adventurer or you'll want to walk her on leash. Taffy prefers to be the only fuzzy love in your life! Spayed, vaccinated, and ready to bring nonstop joy into your life—Taffy is looking for her forever home. Could it be with you? 💛 If you'd like to adopt Taffy please fill out our online application at https://www.goofyfootrescue.org/adoption-application.html#/

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
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##
