Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Little Pepper is in NJ and is available for foster or adoption.  Meet Pepper!    This adorable 4½-year-old Shih Tzu–Poodle mix is about 10 pounds of pure sweetness and spunk! Don’t be fooled by her petite frame — Pepper’s got some serious spring in her step. She’s an impressive little jumper who can easily scale a 4-foot fence, so any future home with a yard will need a secure 6-foot fence to keep her safe.   Pepper came into rescue in rough shape — badly matted — so her current photos show her with a shorter haircut, but normally she’s a fluffy, curly little cloud of a dog! With time, her soft coat will grow back into her natural, adorable puffball look.   She’s crate trained, working on her leash skills, and learning to enjoy her walks more every day. Pepper also loves climbing up to high spots (yes, even countertops and tables!) so her new family will need to make sure anything toxic or tempting is kept out of reach. When it comes to other dogs, Pepper is friendly and tolerant as long as they give her a little personal space — she’s polite but not a fan of being pestered. She may be a bit shy at first, but once she trusts you, she’s a total lovebug who will leap right into your arms for cuddles. Because she’s quick and agile, Pepper’s adopter will need to be careful with open doors that lead outside — she’s got a bit of a bolt instinct! When home alone, she does best safely crated. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, funny little companion with a sprinkle of sass and a whole lot of love to give, Pepper might just be your perfect match.     She is up to date on her vaccines and will be altered. Her adoption donation is $4 50.  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!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Online Adoption Application The shelter called us to take Bubby. He is a great little dog but has mobility issues in his back legs.  It doesnt stop him from getting around though.  he goes down steps but then barks to get up the steps cause he just cant do it with his back legs.  He uses them, but then they give out. We had another little one like this so not sure if it was due to an injury or a disc problem.  He is sweet as can be and just a good boy.  He is probably a senior at 9 or so.  Happy, loves to eat, barks to go outside or get off of things he cant jump down from.  Smart Smart boy. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 11:36 pm

Story
This is a courtesy post for the owner of this dog.  You will not be adopting from Castle of Dreams Animal Rescue. Please contact the owner directly through the contact info provided below. Codey is a 7 yr old male shih tzu. Due to his owner having health issues and being unable to care for him at this time, he is looking for a foster or possible permanent home. Codey is up to date on his shots but is not neutered. He has a great temperament and is great with kids. Codey is very affectionate and just needs a place to feel secure and comforted. If you are interested in helping Codey by providing him a safe home, you can contact Courtney at 732-673-9016 or courtneyacoppotelli@gmail.com.    March 10, 2026, 1:23 pm

Story
Meet Billy, the irresistibly adorable Shih Tzu mix who bears an uncanny resemblance to a certain lovable Wookiee from Star Wars, yes, we’re talking about Chewy! This sweet senior boy was found alone on the streets, dirty, severely matted, and unwell. After some detective work, we located his former owner who, through heartbreaking circumstances beyond their control, had to surrender him. With love and compassion, Billy was placed in a safe foster home where he’s been thriving ever since. Billy is a gentle, goofy soul with so much charm that wins everyone over. Even though his past owner mentioned he is 16 years old, we believe he may be younger and an agile senior. He gets adorably excited when he sees his leash and loves meeting new dogs and people on his walks, he insists on saying hello to every pup he passes! At home, he’s a total shadow dog, following his foster human everywhere and always eager for a snuggle. If you're the type who loves lazy mornings in bed, Billy will be your perfect companion, snuggled up right beside you. He’s smart, eager to please, and picks up on training quickly. Billy has so much love left to give. Apply to adopt this sweet senior today and make his golden years truly special.

Story
Looking to lose a sock but gain a soulmate? Well then, we’ve got the PERFECT GIZMO for you! 1 year old, 15lbs, the funniest goof around and powered by every single item he can fit into his mouth, LOL!! Gizmo thinks toys are fine… but a slipper? a random collar? your dignity? Even better . He is spunky, silly, and somehow has more energy than his much older foster brother. He’d love to be the center of someone’s world or live with another playful pup who will match his energy! His signature move? The dramatic belly flop You look at him → flop. You walk by → flop. You breathe in his general direction → already on his back, ready for rubs. It’s a lifestyle. Gizmo is a Shih Tzu who lives for his zoomie bursts. He’ll sprint around, grab a “treasure,” maybe bonk into the couch, possibly roll off it entirely… and then immediately pass out like nothing happened. He can be a tiny bit shy at first, but give him a minute and suddenly he’s glued to your side, leaning in for cuddles and following you around like your biggest fan. He loves his people and just wants to be close! Crate trained (sleeps through the night like an angel).  Working hard on potty training. Getting better and better on leash. Learning that his foster brother is not, in fact, a trampoline. Even with healing stitches on his neck (we rescued him with the @nycacc after he was found with a mysterious neck wound), Gizmo is pure sunshine. He’s resilient, curious, and says hello to everything with a little head tilt like “huh… interesting…”Gizmo is the perfect little city sidekick, ready to tag along on all your adventures (and maybe steal something along the way). All he needs is a loving home that appreciates a little chaos and a LOT of love. ##2695457##
