My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Nelson is a handsome mixed breed boy who is now in a NJ foster home.

Nelson is smart and loves his people. He is affectionate and listens well. He loves being outside. Nelson is housebroken and crate trained but seems to be crate reactive at times, reacting to people or other animals while in crate. He is responding very well to training and is a great pup overall but has some weird quicks, like the crate reactivity.

Nelson does well with most dogs but takes some times to make friends. He was besties with Toby (a docile large male lab mix) right from the start, took a few days to befriend Stella (an older border collie mix female) and took a few weeks to befriend Tinsel (an older, smaller hound mix). He does well with all of the dogs now but it has taken some time to work through.

Nelson has had some sessions with a trainer and he is doing so well! We are so proud of him and his foster family for working on his training! Nelson still has some guarding issues with food and toys so some management is needed. With time, love and training, his behavior has improved greatly. We love this boy!

Nelson is fixed, microchipped and up to date on rabies, DHPP and Bordetella vaccines. His adoption fee is $550.

More about this rescue

Wag On Inn Rescue, A NJ recognized 501(C)3 organization, located in Freehold, NJ, is a small group of dedicated volunteers, trying to rehome dogs and cats. We have a variety of animals looking for their forever home. The animals are worked with individually to be socialized with other animals and with people. Some of the dogs are obedience trained and housebroken. Special care is also taken in working with animals on basic house manners. We have two types of ways we help the animals. One is our rescue program, where we pull animals from shelters and they stay with us until adopted, we also have a "referal program" where we help owners of pets try to find them new homes. with this program, the pets stay with their owners until a new home is found, and adopted from the owner.
