Pekingese and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

*SEEKING A FOSTER / FOSTER-TO-ADOPT* Julieta | 8 y/o | 7 lb | female

From the Streets of Tijuana to the Lights of NYC: Meet Julieta

They say the biggest hearts come in the smallest packages, and Julieta is living proof.

Just a few months ago, this 7-pound soul was navigating the harsh streets of Tijuana alone. When she was rescued by Born Again Animal Rescue, she was in a truly "deplorable" state—her tiny body was hidden under a mass of painful, matted fur, she was battling a widespread skin infection, and she required urgent medical care for a failing eye. She wasn't just a dog in need; she was a spirit waiting to be rediscovered.

The Transformation

We've been privileged to witness the incredible power of a foster home. With patience, medicated baths, and proper nutrition, the matted shell has fallen away to reveal the gem underneath. Julieta has transformed from a suffering street survivor into a resilient, soulful companion.

She has learned that hands are for petting, not for hiding from. Now, she's ready for her final chapter: a forever home in the Big Apple. Julieta is arriving to Manhattan on Monday, February 2 and will need placement.

**Julieta will likely need some level of continued house / leash / crate training. She is known to be dog friendly. No additional photos or information are available at this time.** Juliet is eligible for our foster-to-adopt program.

Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, and bordetella, heartworm negative, microchipped and spayed. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.

To apply for Julieta, visit our website (www.waggytailrescue.org) for an adoption application. It is important to fill out an application as soon as possible for consideration, and we require a complete application for you to meet an animal. We are currently unable to respond to general email inquiries as an all-volunteer run rescue. If the dog is on our website, they are still available.

Waggytail Rescue CANNOT guarantee the exact age of any adoptable dog, or final size of any of our adoptable puppies. We rely on the information provided to us by veterinarians, shelters, owner surrenders and other circumstances bringing the dog into our rescue.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The Pekingese is a small and affectionate toy breed known for its lion like appearance, characterized by a distinctive flat face, dark eyes, and a flowing mane of fur. Originating in ancient China, these dogs were cherished as companions to royalty and nobility. Despite their small size, Pekingese are confident and independent dogs with a charming personality. They require regular grooming to maintain their luxurious coat and benefit from early socialization and obedience training. Overall, the Pekingese makes a loyal and loving companion for those willing to invest time and effort into their care.
