Meet our Adoptable Pups
Nearly 16,500 families have found their forever friends through Wags & Walks, and you can too.
Most of our dogs live in foster homes while they wait to be adopted, which helps us learn their personalities and prepare them for life with their forever families. Some dogs are also available to meet at our adoption centers.

Meet Pesto!
Breed: Pug Mix
Age: 3 years old
Gender: Male
Weight: 16 lbs
This 3-year-old, 16-lb Pug mix is a fun, sweet pup. We fell in love with Pesto’s irresistible underbite at an overcrowded shelter where he had been brought as a stray. Now, safely in our care, he is coming out of his shell and showing us what a sweetheart he is. He wants to be wherever you are and will follow you from room to room as your loyal shadow once he trusts you. He can be hesitant when meeting new friends, but warms up with patience and gentle pets. He loves going for walks and exploring the great outdoors. This smart boy is working on perfecting his household basics and walks beautifully on a leash. He will thrive with patient, loving adopters who understand that healing takes time. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion, Pesto could be your boy!

Meet Herbie!
Breed: Mixed Breed
Age: 1 year old
Gender: Male
Weight: 55 lbs
This 1-year-old, 55-lb pup is a big love bug. We rescued Herbie from a local shelter where he greeted us with an adorable prance and a wagging tail. Now safely in our care, he is ready to find his people. This sweet boy is a beautiful love bug who wants affection from his people, a comfy sunlit nap spot, and a chew toy. He will happily roll over for as many belly rubs as he can get. Herbie loves his neighborhood walks and playtime in the yard. This smart boy is fully potty-trained, does well in his crate, and walks well on a leash. He also knows several commands, including ‘sit’ and ‘shake’. Herbie will thrive with adopters who are excited to shower him with love and guide him as he continues to grow up. If you’re looking for a well-balanced mix of play and snuggles, Herbie could be the pup for you!
Meet Babette!
Breed: Mixed Breed
Age: 2 years old
Gender: Female
Weight: 29 lbs
This 2-year-old, 29-lb gal is a soulful sweetheart with lots of love to give. When we rescued Babette from an overcrowded shelter, we couldn’t tell if she was shy and shut down or not feeling well. Once we got back to our adoption center, we learned that she had developed Pyometra, a severe, life-threatening uterine infection that required emergency surgery. Thankfully, we were able to get her the emergency care she needed, and she is healing beautifully in a loving foster home and will make a full recovery. This social girl loves to meet people and will eagerly ask for pets and cuddles from everyone within a 30-foot radius. She is a professional napper who sleeps like a log but still plays like a champ when the mood strikes. Babette is fully potty-trained and walks beautifully on a leash. She needs to be the only pet in her forever home and will thrive with loving adopters who will give her plenty of encouragement as she adjusts and as many cuddles as she wants. If you’re looking for a soulful, loyal best friend, Babette could be your girl!

Meet Blue & Bonnet! These 8-week-old mixed-breed sisters are two happy, playful puppies who are expected to be medium-sized when fully grown and are each ready to find families excited to take on all the fun of puppyhood! Blue is the more independent of the two and is perfectly happy entertaining herself with a good toy. Bonnet is a little more cuddly but is also confident and curious when exploring new places. Together, they're typical playful puppies who love to wrestle, chase each other around, and then curl up for a nap when they're ready to recharge. Both girls are doing wonderfully with their crate training and have been sleeping separately with one quick potty break overnight. They're still young puppies, so their forever families should be prepared to continue working on potty training, manners, socialization, and all the other basics as they grow! Whether you're looking for an independent little adventurer like Blue or a cuddly, curious pup like Bonnet, these girls are ready to grow into incredible dogs with families who are excited to guide them through every step of puppyhood!

Meet Dickens! This 6-month-old mixed-breed puppy is a sweet, playful, and incredibly affectionate boy who has quickly become a favorite in his foster home. Dickens has a great medium energy level. He loves playing with both dogs and kids, but he also knows when it's time to settle down and relax. His foster says he's especially gentle with their young children and has handled all the typical toddler excitement beautifully. He loves to snuggle and is happiest curled up with his people after a busy day! Dickens is also wonderful with other dogs! He enjoys playing but is respectful when his canine friends aren't interested, making him a great playmate. He's a smart boy who already knows sit and stay and is making great progress with his puppy manners. He's 99% potty trained and has had no accidents recently in his foster home! At night, Dickens sleeps peacefully in his crate without accidents or issues, and his foster is continuing to build his daytime crate skills. If you're looking for a sweet, playful, yet gentle boy who would make a fantastic family dog, consider Dickens!
Meet Coco! This 6-month-old, 20lb Beagle mix is a sweet, affectionate girl who absolutely loves her people and has plenty of personality to share. Coco is always excited to see her favorite humans when they come home and will happily shower them with affection. She has a playful side and loves chasing multiple balls at once, carrying around her favorite stuffies, and joining in on playtime with her people! She does have a bit of a bunny impression going on and likes to jump when she's excited, but she's a good listener and responds well to a simple "no jump." For a Beagle mix, Coco has a wonderfully mellow side, too. After getting her zoomies out, she's happy to settle down at your feet and relax. She's very food motivated, with peanut butter being a particular favorite, which makes training much easier! Coco already knows sit, down, bed, and crate, and is learning stay and release. Coco sleeps peacefully in wire crate in the same room as her people at bedtime. She's a fun, loving girl who would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a playful pup who also knows how to settle down and relax!
Meet Theo! This 9-month-old, 15.5lb mixed-breed boy is a sweet, affectionate little guy with a personality that will melt your heart. Theo and his brother were found wandering around a neighborhood, and although their owner was located, they ultimately decided they didn't want them. Thankfully, Theo is now looking for the loving forever home he deserves! Theo is incredibly sweet and loves nothing more than cuddling up with his people or snuggling with his canine friends. He's an alert, curious pup who loves to play and entertain himself with his favorite toys, but he's just as happy curling up for a nap when the fun is over. Theo is potty trained, good with kids, and good with other dogs. He'd likely enjoy having a canine companion but could also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only pup. He's not a fan of cats, though, and would do best in a cat-free home. He's a wonderful little dog who has so much love to give and is ready for someone to give him the chance he deserves!
Meet Sweetie! This 3-year-old, 52lb mixed breed girlie truly lives up to her name. With her gentle personality, medium energy level, and affectionate nature, Sweetie is happiest when she's close to her people. Sweetie is an excellent house guest who listens well, follows the rules, and has settled beautifully into her foster home. She loves to cuddle, enjoys spending time with her people, and is especially attached to her foster family. She's also a great listener and is learning that her humans occasionally need a little personal space (she just loves snuggles)! Sweetie is wonderful with visitors and happily greets new people by politely asking for pets. She rarely barks and doesn't rush the door when guests arrive. She's also doing great on leash and enjoys getting out for walks with her people. While Sweetie is comfortable settling in her crate when her foster is home, being left alone is still a work in progress. She can be anxious sometimes when she's home alone, so she'll need a family who is patient and willing to continue helping her feel more comfortable with alone and crate time. Sweetie is heartworm-positive and is currently undergoing treatment, which is fully covered by the 15/10 Foundation, and she's expected to make a full recovery! Sweetie is truly a loving, well-mannered, affectionate girl who just wants to be part of a family. If you're looking for a sweet, cuddly companion who will happily follow you around and be your best little shadow, Sweetie would love to meet you!
Meet the Coffee Litter! These 3-month-old mixed-breed puppies are full of curiosity, energy, and all the charm that comes with being young pups. They love spending their days romping around with their siblings, exploring every corner they can find, and discovering the world one adventure at a time. As they continue to grow, they are expected to be small to medium-sized adults. Like any puppy, they will need adopters who are ready to embrace both the joys and challenges of puppyhood, including training, socialization, and plenty of patience as they learn and grow. They will thrive in homes with pother pups who will help them build confidence and show them the ropes. If you're looking for the perfect blend of fun, cuddles, and puppy antics, this litter might just be your cup of coffee.

Meet Catfish!
Breed: Mixed Breed
Age: 6 months old
Gender: Male
Weight: 35 lbs
Catfish is a happy, confident little guy with a personality that's impossible not to love. After his sister, Cornbread, traveled to the Hamptons and found a loving forever home in record time, we knew Catfish deserved the same chance!
Expected to be medium-sized when fully grown, Catfish has quickly become a foster favorite, with his foster describing him as the "perfect puppy!" He strikes the ideal balance between playful and cuddly, happily entertaining himself with toys, zooming around the yard, or chasing his own tail before curling up on the couch for a cozy nap. He loves Kong toys, enjoys walks, and is just as happy playing with his people as he is relaxing by their side. This sweet boy absolutely adores other dogs and has gotten along beautifully with every pup he's met. He loves playing, cuddling, and spending time with his foster's resident dogs. He's also incredibly social with people and has never met a stranger!
Catfish has wonderful manners for such a young puppy. He walks nicely on leash, settles easily, and has been doing fantastic with both crate and potty training. He sleeps soundly through the night in his crate, happily eats his meals there, and relaxes quietly for a few hours at a time during the day without making a peep. If you're looking for an affectionate, easygoing puppy who's down to be your adventure buddy and cuddle buddy, Catfish is ready to find his people!
Meet Davey!
Breed: Miniature Pinscher
Age: 9 months old
Gender: Male
Weight: 14 lbs
Davey might be small in stature, but this little guy has a big personality. Davey came to us from a crowded shelter in the south and is now in the Hamptons where he’s looking for his forever home. He’s quickly become a favorite amongst our staff, volunteers, and fosters.
Davey is the kind of pup who brings a little extra fun wherever he goes. Whether he's tagging alongside you for errands, curling up after a day of adventures, or just spending some quality time with you, this young boy is ready to join his forever family. He always has a smile on his face and he loves nothing more than making new friends with people and pups.
Davey is the kind of dog who could easily be overlooked, but we can guarantee that this sweet guy is something special! If you're looking for a loyal companion with plenty of charm, Davey might just be your perfect match.
Meet Acorn!
Breed: Terrier mix
Age: 2 months old
Gender: Female
Weight: 2 lbs
Tiny Acorn came into our care from a crowded shelter in the south along with her sister, Pecan! Now safe and settled in the Hamptons, Acorn is ready to find her forever family.
Expected to stay on the smaller side when fully grown, Acorn has been busy learning about everything the world has to offer! This little girl has plenty of spunk packed into one teeny tiny package. Because she is still so young, Acorn will thrive with adopters who are excited to guide her through all the important milestones of puppyhood.
This little girl would do best in a home where she’ll be able to enjoy her autonomy while still getting plenty of structure and love. She would be happy to have a friendly canine sibling to show her the ropes, but she'd also do well as a solo pup in her home. If you're looking for a pint-sized companion, Acorn would love to meet you!
Meet Louie!
Breed: Mixed Breed
Age: 2 months old
Gender: Male
Weight: 15 lbs
Louie is as sweet as he is snuggly! This playful puppy came to Wags & Walks with his brother, Larry, from a crowded shelter in the south. Now, they are both in the Hamptons ready to find their forever families!
Louie loves spending his days wrestling, romping around, and exploring everything his puppy world has to offer. This gentle boy is expected to be a medium to large-sized dog when he’s fully grown, and will need plenty of love and support in the coming months! Like any puppy his age, Louie is full of curiosity and enjoys making new friends, playing with other pups, and then settling in for a well-earned nap with his favorite people.
Louie is looking for a family that's excited to guide him through every stage of puppyhood, from training and socialization to plenty of playtime and cuddles. If you’re looking for a sweet puppy, Louie just might be your match!

Meet Floro!
Breed: Cattle Dog Mix
Age: 2 months old
Gender: Male
Weight: 8 lbs
Sweet little boy Floro came into our care along with his sibling, Finn and Forge, from a crowded shelter in the south. Now safe and ready for a fresh start, Floro is looking for his forever home in the Hamptons!
Like most young puppies, Floro is full of curiosity and loves spending the day exploring, playing with toys, and making new friends. This little boy is outgoing and extroverted. He loves being in the center of the action! Floro is doing well in a foster home with other pups, but he would also be more than happy as a solo dog in his forever home.
As Floro continues to grow, he will thrive with a family that's excited to provide plenty of training, socialization, and love while experiencing all of the joys and occasional challenges of puppyhood. If you're looking for a happy, affectionate pup to add to your family, Floro is ready to meet you!
Meet Joni!
Breed: Pug Mix
Age: 8 years old
Gender: Female
Weight: 11 lbs
Joni’s spirit is full of joy and her heart is full of love. This very sweet, gentle girl is friendly and trusting, greeting new people with happy wiggles and a tail that never seems to stop wagging. It’s no surprise that she’s a staff favorite. There is no thing or no one that Joni doesn’t love! She is adaptable to any environment she’s in and is always ready to put a smile on your face.
Joni is potty trained and crate trained, low energy, and generally calm and mellow. She’s happiest with a cozy routine and a daily walk, which she truly enjoys. She loves being close to her people and is a true snugglebug. She coexists well with other dogs big and small, but would also be happy as a solo pup in her forever home.
Joni is also quite curious and enjoys sniffing around, and she has an adorable habit of seeking out high places like the back of a couch or a chair, so she’s always a part of the action. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who brings warmth, cuddles, and constant smiles, Joni is ready to be your new best friend.

Hello! My name is Graham. I was recently rescued, so the people at Wags are still getting to know me, but here are the basics:
Breed: Poodle Mix
Age: 4 Months Old
Gender: Male
Weight: 18 lbs
Meet Stella!
Breed: French Bulldog
Age: 3 years old
Gender: Female
Weight: 29 lbs
Stella has the typical spunky, Frenchie personality with an independent streak. This goofy girl enjoys affection on her own terms and has a quiet way of showing her love, whether she's resting her head in your lap for scratches or stretching out beside you on the couch for a cozy afternoon. Stella is potty trained, crate trained, and has established a strong training foundation with Delighted Pets NYC. She settles into a routine with ease and walks beautifully on a leash.
One of Stella’s favorite pastimes is curling up for a nap, especially when she can burrow into a cozy blanket cocoon. While she gets along with other dogs, she prefers to enjoy mealtime and playtime with her own space and is happiest when she doesn't have to share her favorite things. Stella would thrive in a calm, child-free home where she can settle in at her own pace. If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate companion with a sweet, unique personality, Stella is a true little gem.

If you’re ready for the joys and occasional challenges of puppyhood, Rolo could be the little guy for you!

Like most young puppies, Finn is full of curiosity and loves spending the day exploring, playing with toys, and making new friends. This little boy is a total snuggle bug! After playtime is done, he will happily curl into a ball in your lap for a good cuddle. Finn is doing well in a foster home with other pups, but he would also be more than happy as a solo dog in his forever home.
As Finn continues to grow, he will thrive with a family that's excited to provide plenty of training, socialization, and love while experiencing all of the joys and occasional challenges of puppyhood. If you're looking for a happy, affectionate pup to add to your family, Finn is ready to meet you!

Thank you Wags & Walks for bringing so much love into our home. We love everything this organization stands for (from rescuing, to providing medical care, funding treatment, donating supplies, gathering volunteers to transport and foster and then to finally bringing happiness home)-- we are beyond proud to play a small part of this wonderful community!

We cannot thank Wags and Walks enough for bringing Cannoli into our lives. What started as a foster for Lennon from The Beatles litter quickly turned into a foster failure, as we saw how seamlessly Cannoli fit into our family. Wags and Walks made the process easy, which helped confirm that we were making the right decision!

Forever indebted to Wags & Walks for bringing this girl home to us. What started off as a foster, turned into us adopting our fur family member we couldn’t imagine life without. The foster program and adoption program are exceptional and there’s really no other place you need to search. Their work is incredible and inspiring! Could not admire the team behind Wags & Walks more!

Meet Lilac!
Breed: Terrier Mix
Age: 4 years old
Gender: Female
Weight: 29 lbs
Lilac was brought to a crowded shelter while pregnant and gave birth to three puppies just five days later. When her puppies were only nine days old, we learned about their situation and welcomed the whole family into our care so they could grow up safe and supported. All of Lilac's puppies have found their forever homes, so now, it's their mama's turn to meet her perfect match!
Lilac is a sweet, social, medium-energy gal who enjoys spending time with her people and pup friends and entertaining herself with her toys. She is always super excited to spend time outside and gets the silliest zoomies. She loves to explore when she's out and about, and we think she could make an excellent adventure buddy. Lilac can be a bit shy when meeting new friends, but quickly opens up with a little encouragement.
This lovable gal is fully potty-trained and working on perfecting her leash manners and already knows how to sit patiently while getting ready for walks. If you're looking for a gentle, resilient companion with lots of love to give, Lilac might be the perfect match!
