Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Cosmos is with our rescue partner in Louisiana and is heading to NJ on 3/21. Meet Cosmos, the sweetest little 11‑pound Shih Tzu gentleman you could ever hope to meet    At 9 years young, this quiet boy is everything you’d want in a loyal companion — leash trained, crate trained, obedient, affectionate, and happiest curled up on a warm lap or soft bed. He’s polite with other dogs, did great at the groomer, and is the perfect house guest in his foster home.   Found as a stray, Cosmos is now ready to find his forever person — someone who’ll love his gentle spirit and that adorable little underbite that melts hearts everywhere  If you’ve got room in your home (and on your lap!), Cosmos would love to be your cozy companion.   Cosmos is up to date on vaccines and is fixed. His    adoption fee is $300.    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!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 24, 2026, 8:45 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Wicket       This pint-sized gentleman (just 10 lbs!) is a 5-year-old Shih Tzu with the biggest heart and the softest soul.   Wicket’s story started with heartbreak — he was sadly dumped on the side of the road — but thanks to a kind person who stopped to help, his luck has turned around. Now safe and loved, he’s proving to be the sweetest little companion imaginable.   He’s gentle, quiet, and affectionate, the perfect buddy for someone who wants an easy-going friend by their side. Wicket adores curling up in his dog bed, enjoys car rides, and has that classic Shih Tzu charm that wins everyone over. He’s still getting used to the grooming process (can you blame him after his rough start?), but he’s learning that pampering isn’t so bad after all.   If you’re looking for a low-energy, loving little friend, Wicket would love to meet you — and maybe steal your heart    Wicket is up to date on vaccines and is fixed. His    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.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Chanel and Velani are bonded and will only be adopted together Introducing Chanel    This little Shih Tzu–Pomeranian mix is brand new to our rescue, and we’re already smitten! Chanel is a bit shy at first, but her sweetness shines through in the softest ways — a wag of her tail, a curious glance, and that adorable little face that melts hearts instantly.    She’s met the other dogs and cats in her foster home and didn’t seem to mind them one bit. She’s not quite ready to join in on playtime yet, but she’s quietly taking it all in. (And bonus points: she’s been using her wee‑wee pads like a pro!  ) We’re still getting to know this precious girl, but she’s already showing us that gentle, happy spirit just waiting to bloom.  Stay tuned as we learn more about our sweet Chanel — she’s going to make someone very, very lucky.    She will be up to date on vaccines. Wag On Inn will arrange for neuter at The Spay and Neuter Center of New Jersey in Holmdel. Adopters must live within driving distance of Holmdel, NJ. His 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.

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
