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
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
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 is altered. Her adoption donation is $4 50.  - Adopting an animal 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 animal 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
Meet Leo 🐾 Leo is a 1-year-old, 22-pound pup who is having a very hard time adjusting to shelter life. The noisy kennel environment has left him extremely fearful, and he will need a patient adopter willing to give him time, space, and understanding as he settles into a home. Behind his scared exterior is a sweet and loving dog who wants to feel safe again. Leo previously lived with other dogs and may benefit from a calm canine companion in his future home. Right now, Leo needs someone willing to see past the fear and give him the fresh start he deserves. With patience, kindness, and a quiet environment, we believe Leo’s true personality will begin to shine.

Story
My girl GILI is so lovely 🥰 girl she welcome everyone it breaks my heart that I’m putting her up for adoption she is 7 months old. Reason she is up for adoption cause my mom and little sister is moving to another state and I’m staying back and I am a student and at the same time working a full time job. I have a busy schedule and I don’t want her being in the house all the time. She is fully vaccinated and stayed and when adopting her I will get her all her materials or things she have at home I just want my girl to find a lovely and happy home, where she will be free to go out and in . She comes with two sleeping creat. Shaved her hair cause of the heat but it will grow back
