Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Sammie is with our partner rescue in LA and can catch a ride to NJ with an approved foster or adopter. Meet Sammie! This sweet little dark brown puppy is about 2 months old and has the biggest ears and the cutest little face you’ve ever seen. Sammie is as adorable as she is loving, and she’s ready to steal your heart! at first, they thought she was a chi mix, but now they are thinking maybe a rat terr mix? its anyones guess but she sure is cute! Sammie absolutely adores kids and does wonderfully with little animals too — including a ferret and a cat. She’s already showing progress every day with sit and housebreaking, and with her young age, she’s the perfect little sponge for learning. Like any baby puppy, Sammie will need continued work on house training, leash training, and puppy manners, but she’s a sweet, willing little girl who is eager to learn and grow. If you’re looking for a tiny best friend with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Sammie may be your girl. Sammie is still a very young puppy. She is up-to-date on age appropriate vaccines and has been treated for puppy parasites. she will need to be spayed in NJ when she is around 6 months old. Wag On Inn covers the cost of this at our vet in Holmdel, NJ. Her adoption donation is $600. 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. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 14, 2026, 10:29 pm

Moo

Rat Terrier

Female, Young

Closter, NJ

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

Her name is Moo, but we're pretty sure she's not a cow. We think she's a Rat Terrier mix. She's about a year and a half old, weighs around 9 pounds, and is a cute, petite little girl with a big heart and an even bigger love for her people. Moo is happiest when she's by your side. She loves attention and forms a close bond with her person, so she's looking for someone who wants a loyal little shadow. While she gets along with other dogs, she would likely prefer to be the only dog in the home so she doesn't have to share your affection. She was surrendered through no fault of her own after her family no longer had the time to care for her. Now she's ready to find someone who will make her part of the family forever. Moo is spayed and up to date on her vaccines. Because of her small size and her preference for a quieter home, we think she would do best in an adult home or one with older, respectful children. If you're looking for a sweet little companion who will happily be your constant sidekick, Moo may be the perfect match. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1. You must begin our adoption process by applying to adopt on clawsadopt.org. Please do NOT inquire via Petfinder, social media messengers or in our comments. We will only be looking at applications! 2. Please make sure you fill out our adoption application COMPLETELY. We may not be able to respond to applications that are not completely filled out with the proper information. Side note: on our applications, the more details you provide = the better. 3. We prefer applicants live within 60 miles of Closter, NJ. (Applicants who live farther away may still apply. However, please note we do prioritize local applications as we try our best to serve our local community first.) 4. Please respect our organization, our volunteers and our process. As a reminder, our organization is a nonprofit. We receive no money from the state. We have no paid employees! This is a polite reminder that we are doing our best to make the right decisions for the animals in our care. Thank you.

Aila (in Foster)

Rat Terrier

Female, Senior

Skillman, NJ

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Meet Aila: ZERO Interest In Acting Her Age.Before you meet Aila, there are a few things you should know.First: whoever wrote "9 years old" on her paperwork clearly confused her with someone else. We have seen absolutely no evidence of this so-called "senior dog" behavior. This girl has zoomies. She has opinions. She has places to be. Most importantly, she has YOU to supervise.Aila has appointed herself the Director of Whatever You're Doing. Folding laundry? She's helping. Cooking dinner? Quality control. Going to the bathroom? Bold of you to think that's a solo activity. She firmly believes every task is a team sport, and she has no intention of letting you participate alone.In fact...she's suspiciously cat-like. She follows you everywhere, inserts herself into your business without permission, demands affection on her schedule (which, conveniently, is always), and somehow manages to make you feel guilty if you stop petting her for more than three seconds. So she's basically a cat...who barks... and actually likes you. We think.Despite being 9 years young, Aila hasn't gotten the memo that she's supposed to slow down. She still bounces around the yard, breaks into joyful little zoomies, and pleads-no, campaigns-for attention from anyone within eyesight. If there were an Olympic event for "convincing strangers to pet me," she'd bring home the gold.So if you've always wanted a dog with the clingy confidence of a lap cat, the enthusiasm of a puppy, and the unwavering commitment to being in your personal space at all times, congratulations. Aila has been waiting for you. She'll be right behind you. Literally.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org. SAVE is operating by appointment-only for approved adopters. For more information please call SAVE at 609-309-5214. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Black Weight: 11 Age: 9yrs 0mths 2wks
