Waggytail Rescue

A small dog and cat 501(c)3 rescue based in New York City (NYC) and dedicated to the rehabilitation and rehoming of small breed dogs and other animals in need. We do not have a physical shelter location. All of our animals are graciously fostered by our volunteers.

Hear From Our Adopters

Kerigan & Rosie

I adopted Rosie (fka Baby) in February 2018 and Chili in February 2021. They are two peas in a pod and love to wrestle and cuddle. Thanks Waggytail!

Rae & Tilly

We foster-failed and adopted Tilly in February 2020. She makes us laugh every day and has so much personality in such a little body. We’re thankful for Waggytail for rescuing her!
