Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Larry is with our rescue partner down south and can come to NJ if we find a foster or adopter for him   Meet Larry, a 12-pound Rat Terrier mix who’s small in size but big in personality!    Larry’s journey started as a stray before landing in the shelter, and now he’s enjoying the comfort of a foster home while waiting for his forever family. He was a bit unsure at first (who wouldn’t be after all that change?), but this little guy has blossomed beautifully with love and patience.   Larry loves other dogs and will happily bark to invite them to play — he’s a bit of a social butterfly with a dash of “bossy big brother” energy. Don’t worry, it’s all in good fun—he’s not aggressive, just confident!   He did great for his bath, uses pee pads w hen needed, and quickly learned to use the doggy door once he joined the rest of the pack. Smart, adaptable, and full of charm, Larry is ready to find a home that will appreciate his spunky spirit and affectionate heart.   If you’re looking for a lovable sidekick who will make you laugh and melt your heart every day, Larry might be your guy.    Larry is up to date on vaccines and treatment.  He is already fixed and his  adoption fee is $450.  Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training  prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Lacie is with our rescue partner in Louisiana and will be heading to NJ on 3/21. Meet Lacie — the ultimate mom friend in dog form  This sweet little Rat Terrier was dumped with her four puppies, raised them right, and watched each one find their forever home. Now it’s her turn.   Lacie has been through a lot — heartworm treatment (check ), old leg injury (check ), but she’s tougher than your morning coffee and faster than her limp lets on. She can even clear a 36-inch barrier when her foster mom dares to walk into another room!   She follows her person everywhere (loyalty level: stage 5 clinger ), loves other dogs, and even “plays chase” with cats like the playful aunt she is. She’s leash-trained, rides beautifully in the car, and always looks out for her furry friends. She’s ready for her happy ending — a home where she can love, nurture, and maybe supervise your every move (just a little).   Ready to give this devoted mama the life she deserves?  Lacie is up to date on vaccines and is fixed. Her     adoption fee is $450.    Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. If you are interested in learning more about me, and possibly making me part of your family, please go to  wag-on-inn.com . To apply, click  HERE  or on our website, go to Adoptable Pets and Adoption Application. A Wag On Inn volunteer will be in touch soon!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 25, 2026, 6:12 pm

Story
Meet Ernie, the most precious pup! This adorable puppy was rescued from an overcrowded shelter and is now settling into a loving foster home. Now that he is safe and cared for, he is getting the chance to learn what it means to be a happy, carefree puppy. He is about 4 months old and weighs 12 pounds. We expect him to be a medium-sized adult dog. His breed is a guess, but he sure is cute—his mom is a 21-pound Rat Terrier mix.Like most young pups, he is still learning the basics of house training and everyday manners, but he is doing great and improving every day. With patience, love, and consistency, he will grow into a wonderful lifelong companion.Ernie is so sweet and settled in quickly. He absolutely loves people and wants to climb right into your lap for cuddles. He enjoys playing with toys, exploring new surroundings, and having fun with other dogs.He does have a big voice and likes to bark when he’s alone, so an apartment may not be the best fit for him.If you’re ready for puppy snuggles, laughter, and a lifetime of love, this little boy could be the perfect match for you. Apply to adopt at BCAAofNJ.org.Interested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application! PLEASE NOTE: Our adoption fee helps to cover our expenses and includes all shots, *age appropriate*, distemper and rabies, fecal check, spay/neuter, heartworm test, grooming, and in many cases dental and also the fee we pay when we rescue from a shelter.
