Wemby's Story

Wemby has every reason not to trust people—but somehow, he still greets the world with a wagging tail and a smile.<br/><br/>This handsome one and a half year old Pit mix was found abandoned tied to a pole in Trenton NJ. As if that wasn't enough, he had suffered a traumatic injury and subsequent infection that resulted in the loss of one of his toes. After receiving surgery and the medical care he desperately needed, Wemby went to a foster home where he is working on his house training. <br/><br/>Wemby is so full of happiness and love and wants to say hello to everyone he sees! He has anxiety when he is not with his people (understandably so after all he has been through) so he is working on learning that it is ok to be left alone and his people will come back for him! <br/><br/>Unfortunately, a couple of months after his foot healed, the infection returned and it was determined that he has an autoimmune disease that prevented his body from fully healing from the initial infection. After two weeks on prednisone Wemby is a new boy! The vet will be switching him to a better long term medication that will allow Wemby to live a full and normal life! Wemby is looking for an experienced adopter who will continue to work with him on his manners and separation anxiety. Because of this, it is recommended that Wemby go to a home without small children or frail adults.<br/><br/>He's eager to please, loves learning, and soaks up affection from everyone he meets. His foster describes him as a happy, goofy boy who just wants to be close to his people.<br/><br/>At just 50 pounds, Wemby is the perfect medium-sized companion with a huge heart. He has overcome pain, abandonment, and surgery without letting it change his joyful spirit.<br/><br/>All he needs now is someone who is committed to helping him learn how to be in a loving home and who will never leave him behind again.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a resilient, affectionate best friend who will love you with his whole heart, Wemby is waiting to meet you. <br/><br/>You can apply to foster/adopt Wemby on our website: <br/><br/>https://www.heightofhoperescue.com/forms

Height of Hope Senior Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy
At Height of Hope Senior Dog Rescue, our adoption policies are designed to ensure the best possible match between our senior dogs and their adopters. All potential adopters complete a detailed application, which is reviewed to assess lifestyle, experience, and ability to meet the unique needs of a senior dog. We conduct reference checks and, when appropriate, home checks to ensure a safe and supportive environment. We prioritize thoughtful, informed placements and take the time to match each dog’s temperament, medical needs, and energy level with the right home. Adopters are educated about the responsibilities of caring for a senior dog, including potential medical considerations. Our goal is to create lasting, loving placements, and we remain available as a resource for adopters even after the adoption is finalized.
