You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bandit is an adorable terrier mix who is looking for a new home. Bandit is now in a NJ foster home and doing great. Bandit came from a home with two dachshund mixes - all 3 were surrendered together when their owner no longer wanted them or could no longer care for them. Bandit loves having a fenced in yard to run around in and sniff after the critters.  We are working on leash training and he's doing really well. He is good with other dogs he knows - he just needs a slow intro to new dogs especially bigger dogs.  Bandit is a super sweet guy who just needs a little patience to warm up.  Bandit is fixed, microchipped and up to date on rabies, DHPP and Bordetella vaccines. Bandit was just treated for heartworm and is currently on restricted activity for 1 month. He will be ready for adoption in late December. His adoption fee is $450.   How to Adopt Me!

Felicia is 1 year old, 11-pound female terrier mix from Texas!  Felicia is a gentle, curious pup. She enjoys being close to you and getting a spoonful of Greek yogurt as a treat. Felicia appears to be pee-pad trained. Her other skills are a work in progress, as she is still decompressing after her long trip from Texas. Felicia’s forever family will need to continue working with her to build her trust and reinforce and advance the progress she’s been making. Felicia’s crate is her safe space, and she sleeps in the crate at nighttime or when her foster family leaves the house. She has a little bit of separation anxiety - she is okay being left alone at home, but she hates when her foster family is in another room! She prefers her crate to be in the bedroom so she can be near her foster family over night. Felicia is looking to be part of a low key family that can teach her to love and trust. Because she is so gentle, we think she’d be okay in a home with children. Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, and bordetella. Neutered, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. To apply for Felicia, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption 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. Adoptions: adopt@waggytailrescue.org ##2286597##

Meet Frankie! Frankie is a 1-year-old, 13.5-pound male Jack Russell Terrier mix from Texas. This sweet pup is adjusting to life in Brooklyn with his foster family and making strides every day. Frankie came from a hoarding situation, so he is still working through some anxiety and learning how to trust the world around him. His forever family will need to be patient and help him continue his journey to confidence and happiness. Personality: Frankie is a complete sweetheart. While he may take some time to warm up to new people, once he feels safe, he transforms into a total cuddlebug! He loves snuggling up with his foster family, curling up in fleece blankets, and chewing on his favorite toys—especially his beloved Lambchop plushie. Frankie enjoys quiet moments but also appreciates bursts of playtime and activity. Training Progress: Frankie is doing well with learning basic commands like “sit” and is working on other obedience training. He has been using pee pads indoors as he continues to build confidence with outdoor potty training. Frankie is also working on his leash skills, and his foster family is helping him feel more comfortable exploring the world outside. Home Environment: Frankie thrives in a quiet, low-key environment where he can feel safe and secure. He would do best in a home with another dog to show him the ropes and help him feel more confident. Frankie does well with other dogs, cats, and children, making him a great fit for a variety of families. He is crate-trained and finds comfort in his cozy crate during the day. Ideal Family: Frankie’s ideal family will be patient and understanding of his need for time to adjust. They should be committed to reinforcing and advancing the progress he’s made with his foster family. Frankie needs a home that offers a balance of quiet downtime and gentle, engaging activity to help him continue to grow. Special Note: Frankie has only been with his foster family for a week, and while he’s still very shy, he’s already making progress. He’s begun taking treats from his foster mom’s hand and even snuggling in bed—a testament to the loving companion he is becoming. With the right family, Frankie will blossom into a loyal and affectionate pup who will bring joy and love to his forever home. If you’re ready to give Frankie the safe, loving home he deserves, apply to adopt him today! Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, and bordetella. Neutered, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. To apply for Frankie, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application.

Our B litter is ready for adoption! This sweet litter of pups are about 9-10 weeks, born around mid-November 2024. These puppies are some of the lucky ones – a good Samaritan saw a mangy, starving dog eating scrap someone threw out in a back corner of a Mexican restaurant by a dumpster. She couldn’t turn away. The good Samaritan was going to just help mom, when she realized mom looks to have just had puppies. It’s like the momma dog knew someone was there to help, and she turned away from the scrap food and started walking down the street. The good Samaritan followed this momma dog for almost 2 miles to a home, where when they walked up, 7 puppies came running out from under the house (see video!) The homeowner didn’t claim mom or puppies, nor did she want anything to do with them. She refused to feed them or offer them shelter. It took some time, but after a few days, we were able to get all 7 pups and mom to safety. Mom is about 32 lbs and has a wire-hair coat, we have named her Lainey and she will also be available for adoption soon. We do not know who dad is. We believe pups will vary in size with the 2 runts (Baby ad Belle) staying smaller than the others – but generally we believe they will stay around 40 lbs. Please keep in mind that these puppies had minimal human interaction until a few weeks ago, but they are now in their prime age for impression, training and growing in a home to learn from. They all would do wonderfully with well-behaved children, other dogs and cats. They did not chase stray cats at the home they were at and they LOVE other dogs. Here’s a breakdown of the litter and some information on each one: All weights are as of 1/19/25 Baby – Male Runt – 7.5 lbs – Black and white (tri color) – Semi wirehair and very short hair – does not seem to shed much, if at all – Very playful. Very outgoing. Fun to watch play as he is so much tinier than the other pups. Daring. First pup to try anything. Aims to please. Wants to be next to you and get lots of love and love you. All homes would be ideal, all ages of children would be great for Baby. Belle – Female Runt – 4.4 lbs – Black and White – Wirehair – Does not seem to shed – She is quite timid but friendly and does come around. Will make the best baby. She defends herself against all the other bigger pups. Fierce and won’t let anyone pick on her. Is learning to play with toys. Could be a lap dog with lots of patience. Minimal-mild active home that is patient. Beau – Male – 10.2 lbs – Brown and White – Wirehair – Does not seem to shed – Needs someone with some patience. He is a bit timid and would rather watch everyone else play before joining. He would do best with another dog in the home. Beau is learning to trust people and his surroundings. Minimal-Mild Active home that is patient. Bree – Female – 11.4 lbs – Black and White – Short hair, minimal shedding – She is a hoot to have around. She loves to talk to you and is very vocal. She doesn’t mind telling you how she feels. She’s more of a leader and she keeps all the other puppies in check and in their place. If any of them start bickering, Bree will be there to break it up. She’s not afraid to test the waters and try anything new. A bit shorter of legs and stocky build. A more active home is preferred. Blue – Male – 12.4 lbs – Black and White – Short hair, minimal shedding – This gentle giant boy is so sweet. He is the biggest of the litter. He is very curious but won’t try anything first. He will stand back and watch. He is learning to trust humans and his surroundings. Very smart. Blue would be great with another dog to teach him or someone willing to put in the time and patience for training and socialization. Would love someone to force cuddles on him so he can learn to fully love people. Not a mean bone in his body. Mildly active home ideal, with patience. Biscuit – Male – 11.1 lbs – Brown and White – Wire Hair – Does not seem to shed – This lover boy is the most timid of the group of pups. The foster left him with his mom so she can help build his confidence and not be bullied by his siblings. He is very submissive. Needs a family or person that is patient, kind and understands he does need socialization and lots of love. Ideally no young children given how timid he is. Bear – Male – 11.3 lbs – Black and White – Short hair, minimal shedding – One of the most outgoing pups of the litter! He is one of the few that came around super quickly and is super lovable, huggable and amazing all around. He LOVES to be held in your arms and rocked like a baby or just carried around. He would rather be with you than anywhere else. His next favorite thing is belly rubs. He will roll over in a heartbeat to get some belly rubs and stay there until you can’t anymore. He is a very relaxed pup and doesn’t run around too much. Chill. Mildly active home and all age children would be perfect. All of these puppies will make wonderful and loyal companions. Please watch the video to see mom when she was first found, to when the good Samaritan found the house, to the puppies safe and sound and enjoying their first toys. All puppies are current on age appropriate vaccinations, preventions, dewormer, microchipped and will receive a clean bill of health from a veterinarian prior to receiving the animal.
