Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Rory is a stunning boy who is in need of a new home. He is with our partner rescue in Louisiana but can come to NJ if we find a foster or adopter.  Meet Rory — a pint-sized sweetheart with the best ears in the business and a heart of gold!   He was found as a stray with his sister Lorelei after being dumped, but you’d never know it from his loving, trusting personality. Rory is still a puppy, full of playfulness, wiggles, and affection, and he’s always ready to be your little shadow. He’ll need some work on his manners and housebreaking (he is a baby, after all ), but he more than makes up for it with cuddles, sweetness, and nonstop charm. Rory is fixed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. He tested negative for heartworm. Her adoption fee is $550. 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. How to Adopt Me! 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.January 18, 2026, 7:33 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Andi is with our partner rescue in Louisiana and will be arriving in NJ on 1/24. Andi’s story started a little rough. She was found abandoned in a ditch, but she hasn’t let that dim her loving spirit one bit. This sweet, petite girl is all heart and charm. Andi adores attention and wants nothing more than to be close to her people. She’s affectionate, a bit goofy, and happily climbs into your lap whenever she gets the chance. She loves her toys, enjoys playtime, and does great riding in the car. She’s currently thriving in a foster home with children, cats, and other dogs, and is doing wonderfully with everyone. Andi is crate trained and continuing to work on her manners, picking things up more and more each day. If you’re looking for a loving little shadow who will make you smile and snuggle right up beside you, Andi may be your perfect match. Andi is up to date on vaccines and has been treated for puppy/kitten parasites. Wag On Inn will arrange for spay/neuter and microchip at 5-6 months of age at The Spay and Neuter Center of New Jersey in Holmdel. Adopters must live within driving distance of Holmdel, NJ. Her adoption fee is $550.  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.

Story
Ridge is a 6-month-old, 17 lb cutie with the cutest ears you’ve ever seen and a look that’s truly one of a kind. He was saved from Louisiana and has been winning hearts ever since. Believed to be some kind of Rat Terrier mix (though we honestly aren’t quite sure), Ridge has such a cool, unique appearance that he really stands out. Personality-wise, Ridge is just as great as his looks. He’s good with all people and gets along well with other dogs, making him an easy addition to many types of homes. He’s still young and ready to learn, grow, and enjoy all the fun that puppy life brings. Ridge is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. He is ready to find his forever family.  Apply at EHRDOGS.ORG and ask for RIDGE LOUISIANA (function () { // Only on animal detail pages if (!/\/animals\/detail/i.test(location.pathname)) return; // Debounce to avoid double-fire (touchend + click, etc.) var lastNavAt = 0; function toFullSize(url) { try { var u = new URL(url, location.href); u.searchParams.delete('width'); u.searchParams.delete('height'); return u.toString(); } catch (e) { return url || ''; } } function looksLikeAnimalPhoto(url) { return /\/pictures\/animals\/\d+\/\d+\/[^?#]+\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)/i.test(url || ''); } function handler(e) { var el = e.target; if (!el) return; // Find the closest anchor or image in the click path var a = el.closest ? el.closest('a') : null; var img = el.closest ? el.closest('img') : null; var url = ''; // Prefer anchor href if it points to an animal photo if (a && a.getAttribute) { var href = a.getAttribute('href') || ''; if (href && (href.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(href))) { url = href; } } // Otherwise fall back to the image src if (!url && img && img.getAttribute) { var src = img.getAttribute('src') || ''; if (src && (src.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(src))) { url = src; } } if (!url) return; // Absolute URL + full-size version try { url = new URL(url, location.href).toString(); } catch (_) {} url = toFullSize(url); // Stop PrettyPhoto (and any other delegated click handlers) e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation(); if (e.stopImmediatePropagation) e.stopImmediatePropagation(); // Debounce var now = Date.now(); if (now - lastNavAt < 500) return; lastNavAt = now; // SAME TAB navigation to the full-size image location.href = url; } // Capture phase is the key: we get the event before PrettyPhoto.
