Story

Elvira is a 2-year-old, 12-pound Chihuahua mix, who made her way from Mexico and is now living her best life while waiting for her forever home. Elvira is the perfect mix of energetic, playful, and oh-so-cuddly. She loves zooming around just as much as she loves curling up on the couch for a cozy snuggle session with her humans. Since arriving in Williamsburg, she’s adjusted beautifully and continues to grow more confident every day. Elvira enjoys spending time with her foster sister Silvie (a fellow Chihuahua), going on long neighborhood walks, and snuggling up in bed with her foster family at night. She appears to be pee pad trained and is making great progress, though she’ll benefit from continued positive reinforcement to master full outdoor potty training. With a little consistency and encouragement, she’ll be a pro in no time! Elvira walks wonderfully on a leash and truly thrives in the city — she’s calm, patient, and very friendly with other dogs. She’s also done well having free roam of her foster family’s apartment. While she was a bit anxious when first left alone, she quickly settled in and is now relaxed and comfortable at home, especially with her foster sister by her side. Elvira is looking for a family that enjoys being active but loves to relax too. She would love to have another dog at home (a couch potato or an active pup would both make her happy!) and would likely be okay with gentle children - although we haven’t yet seen her interact with kids. Elvira would make an amazing companion for someone looking for a sweet, lively, and affectionate little shadow to share their days (and couch!) with. Vaccinated for Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella. Neutered and microchipped. Tested for vector-borne illnesses. Current on flea, tick, and heart worm prevention. To apply to adopt Elvira, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for a foster application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the dog is on our website, they are still available. Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable dog, or final size of any of our adoptable puppies. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the dog into our rescue. Questions: adopt@waggytailrescue.org ##2668169##

Details

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!
