Story
Lulu has been within my family for about 6 years now . We originally got her from a family member who got her from her pastor . She gets along with other pets but honestly comes to life with just being alone with her owner . She loves to cuddle and play with toys . Ideally a good home would be with someone who needs an emotional support animal / a single family .

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Snowball is a beauty who is looking for a new home. Snowball is now in a NJ foster home. Snowball and several other yorkie and Maltese were dumped at a shelter when their breeder shut down. Our partner rescue in Louisiana stepped in to help save these pups! We think Snowball is either a M altese or M altese/Yorkie mix. Snowball is super friendly with all dogs and humans.  However, she is not housetrained yet.  We were doing well when the cold spell hit and there has been a regression.  She is learning! She would do best in homes with other dogs, the more the merrier!  She has lived with multiples for her entire life so it is her foster's opinion that she definitely needs to placed with at LEAST one other dog but two or more would be even better.  It's not that she needs to play with them, she is self-sufficient but her foster mom thinks multiple dogs being around is a comfort to her.  She is truly the super cutie noted in her tag line and just loves to cuddle.  She is not a fan of being crated, for which she is not to blame coming from an entire life at a breeders.   Snowball is now fixed, up to date on vaccines and tested negative for heartworm. The vet identified she has a luxating patella on her rear leg which is common in small dogs. It was their assessment it did not require surgery. Her 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. 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 wagoninn.rescuegroups.org. Click on the orange  Online Adoption Application  button to fill out an application. A Wag On Inn volunteer will be in touch soon!

Story
Meet Milo!!!  This special boy is a 4 1/2 year old, 11 lbs maltipoo.  He is the complete package.  This sweet boy is good with other dogs both big and small.  He is also good with cats.  Milo is an active little guy that has the best time running and playing with his foster brothers and sisters.  They all have the best time in their fenced in yard.  Milo really enjoys playing but he is also all about the most important thing--YOU!  Milo loves his foster mom.  If she sits down he is right there.  If she goes to the kitchen Milo is right behind her to see if he can help.  At bed time, you got it, trotting down the hall with you.  This great guy would be an excellent companion for a young single person or a great addition to a family with children 6 and older.  (to our knowledge he has not been around toddlers and we don't want to set him up for failure.)  Milo is so small that he could go everywhere with you that doggies are allowed even in the airplane on vacation!  This boy does not want to be left behind.  Milo is ready for a late new year celebration when he meets his forever family.  Hopefully that will be with you.  To be considered for Milo's frever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcaast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Milo is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)January 6, 2025, 2:04 pm

Meet Apricot!  Her foster affectionately calls her Millie ♥ Age: 3 years   Breed: Maltese   Gender: Female     Hello, wonderful humans! My name is Millie, and I’m a sweet three-year-old Maltese girl looking for a foster-to-adopt home where I can blossom into the happy pup I know I can be!   I might be a little shy at first, but don’t let that fool you—I’m a joyful little lady once I warm up to you! My ideal family will be patient and understanding, ready to show me all the beautiful things life has to offer. With a little time and love, I promise to fill your days with happiness and cuddles.   I’m crate trained, but I’m still learning the ropes when it comes to living in a house. I may have a few accidents as I adjust, so a little guidance will go a long way! I absolutely adore running around in the yard, so a home with a fenced yard would be perfect for my playful spirit.    Sometimes, I can get spooked by unexpected noises, so a tracking collar will help keep me safe during our outdoor adventures. And let’s not forget—I have a big love for treats, toys, and dressing up in cute outfits!    If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a loving companion who just needs a little extra care, I’d love to meet you! Let’s make some beautiful memories together.   Millie was pregnant when she came into rescue and she and her pups have been in a PPAR foster home. Now it’s time for Millie to find a loving foster to adopt home, and she will get spayed while in foster. She is up to date on vaccines and had a wellness exam.    Please apply if you are interested in foster to adopt for Millie! https://peytonsplaceanimalrescue.org/adoption-application/ ##2266753##

Story
Blanca is an adorable sweet “young senior” surrendered when her disabled owners could not longer care for her. She was matted and flea-infested, had painful rotting teeth and infected gums, and wasn’t spayed with several small mammary masses as a result. Happily, all that has been taken care of at our vet, her biopsies were all benign, and she’s ready for a home. She’s 10 years young, mostly malteee mixed with maybe some poodle or other breed, 11lbs full grown. She’s the perfect combo of chill and playful, still throwing around squeaky toys but also loves a good fuzzy bed to curl up in. She’s fine with other chill little dogs, was used to going outside as well as wee wee pad and is trained to both, and is easy to fall in love with. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Blanca in Northern NJ Since COVID-19, we are no longer holding our Sunday adoption events until further notice, but we are scheduling meet and greet appointments with a specific dog or dogs at our meeting spots in Northern NJ. To streamline adoptions, all communication before, during, and after the adoption process is done through email only: we have limited volunteers able to return phone calls. Submit an application from our website www.secondchance.petfinder.com to speed up the adoption process and email any questions to us at njwoof@cs.com. Please check your email regularly for next steps. All our dogs reside in foster care in Northern NJ until adoption and we do not have a central shelter location. We are a small all-volunteer organization focused on rescuing local dogs from area shelters, as well as accepting some surrenders and puppy mill rescues.
