Whitney's Story

Meet Whitney! Whitney is an absolute sweetheart looking for her forever home! Dog, kid, and farm animal friendly! She’s great with kids. The foster’s kids fight over who gets to sleep with her! She’s gentle, lets kids hold her neck while they cuddle, and doesn’t mind if they touch her ears or feet. She’s a calm, loving companion who will quickly win your heart. Whitney has amazing recall and walks beautifully on a leash. She only barks when she hears something unusual or someone at the door, like a little protector alerting you! She’s not a chewer (unless it’s her toys or bones), and she drops things when asked. She’s been improving every day, she’s becoming more confident and less skittish. Whitney had a rough start, she used to cower if someone lifted their hand, so we suspect she may have been abused, but she’s blossoming into a sweet, trusting girl. She even loves belly rubs now! She’s anxious in a crate, so she’s been left out when alone while we work on building her confidence with it. She’s playful, social, and had a blast at the dog park, getting along wonderfully with other dogs. Whitney is loving, loyal, and ready to be a part of a family who will give her the love and patience she deserves. If you’re looking for a sweet, dog & kid & farm animal/friendly, fun-loving, and gentle companion, Whitney might just be the perfect match for you! Chester NJ Adopt: waggybuttshappymutts.org

Waggy Butts & Happy Mutts's Adoption Policy

Adoption Process: How It Works Submit an Application Start by filling out our adoption application, providing information about your household, lifestyle, and what you’re looking for in a dog. This helps us make the best match possible for both you and the dog. Application Review Once we receive your application, we’ll review it and may contact you for more details. We will ask for photos of your home (or video chat if that makes you more comfortable). Meet the Dog If your application is approved, we’ll arrange a meet-and-greet with the dog you’re interested in. This gives you the chance to spend time with the dog and see if they are the right fit for your family. Adoption Approval After the meet-and-greet, if both you and the rescue feel it’s a good match, we’ll move forward with finalizing the adoption. You’ll complete an adoption agreement outlining your responsibilities as the new pet parent. Adoption Fee We’ll collect the adoption fee, which helps cover the cost of the dog’s care while in the rescue, including spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, deworming, and preventatives. Take Your Dog Home You can take your new dog home once the paperwork and fee are completed! We’re always here to support you during the transition and beyond if you have any questions or concerns. -------------------- Fostering to Adopt: How It Works Our Fostering to Adopt program allows potential adopters to foster a dog before committing to adoption. This is a great way for both the dog and the potential adopter to ensure a perfect match. Here’s how the process works: Application and Approval Start by filling out an adoption application and indicating your interest in fostering to adopt. We’ll review your application, and once approved, we’ll match you with a dog that fits your household and lifestyle. Fostering Period Once matched, the dog will live with you as a foster. During this period, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about the dog’s personality, needs, and behavior in your home environment. We provide all necessary supplies and support during this time. Decide if it’s a Match At the end of the fostering period (typically around 2-4 weeks), you’ll decide if you want to move forward with adoption. If you feel the dog is the right fit, the adoption process will be completed. If it’s Not a Match If you decide the dog isn’t the perfect fit, there’s no pressure. You can continue fostering until we find the right home for the dog, or the dog can be placed with another foster family. Finalizing the Adoption If you choose to adopt, we’ll finalize the process, and you’ll officially welcome the dog into your family. All adoption fees and the dog’s medical care (spay/neuter, vaccines, microchip, preventatives) will have been taken care of during the fostering period.
