Waggytail Rescue

The official Facebook page for Waggytail Rescue, a dog fostering and adoption organization in New York City.

Founded in 2004, Waggytail Rescue is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has rescued over 5000 abandoned dogs and even a few cats and kittens! Through the tireless work of our many volunteers and amazing fosters, we are committed to continuing to find forever homes for New York's homeless dogs.

Waggytail Rescue does not have a physical shelter location, instead we rely on the tireless, loving work of our fosters who care for our animals in their own home. Taking a scared and confused animal out of the shelter system and into a loving, private home gives them the opportunity to relax, recover and become the best version of themselves before adoption. Fostering dogs that do not respond well to being in a shelter greatly increases their chance of adoption and avoids unnecessary euthanization.

Foster homes are the MOST ESSENTIAL part of what we do! If you are interested in volunteering your time, energy and patience as a foster parent, you can help put a dog on the path towards a long and happy life in their forever home.
