Arrival story: Eddie was picked up as a stray by a rural shelter and no one claimed him, even though he was wearing a collar. When his time was up, Waggin Tails stepped in to save him.

Approximate age / weight: Eddie is approximately 2 years old and 21 lbs.

Personality: Eddie loves kids! He plays with the neighbor kids who range in age from 4 to 10 years. Eddie also loves to play with other dogs and plays with one of the dogs in his foster home. For the most part though, Eddie is people oriented and prefers to focus on people when they are around. He plays hard, but in fairly short bursts, and then is content to just "be" with his people. He's not hyper at all. He will whine a bit when he thinks you're coming to let him out of his crate, but stops if he realizes you're not. Eddie seems perfectly comfortable hanging out ...

He's not hyper at all. He will whine a bit when he thinks you're coming to let him out of his crate, but stops if he realizes you're not. Eddie seems perfectly comfortable hanging out in his crate for several hours at a time, especially if he has some toys and a nylabone. Eddie seems to be house broken for the most part. He has never had an accident in his crate at his current foster home, and has been crate for just over 8 hours at a time. He also had run of the house for 6 hours with no accident!

Forever home: A fenced yard would probably be best, simply because he likes to tear around at first, and that's hard to do on a tie-out or on a leash.

Pre-Adoption Application: To be considered for a dog, it is best to submit a pre-adoption application. The Pre-Adoption Application can be downloaded from our website - http://www.waggintailsdogrescue.org/adoptionprocess.html. Just complete the application and email it back to wtdr2008@yahoo.com

Waggin' Tails Adoption Information: Waggin' Tails Dog Rescue has a standard adoption fee of $175 for adult dogs. Different adoption fees apply for older dogs, small breeds and puppies - $100 for senior dogs (9 years +), $275 for small breed dogs and $200 for puppies plus a $50 deposit which is returned upon proof of spay/neuter at six months of age.
Our adoption process includes an application, vet reference checks, and a home visit.

We do not have a facility; all of our dogs are fostered in private homes. To view our dogs, please check www.waggintailsdogrescue.org for the dates of our next adoption events. To meet a dog in person, please see our event calendar for the latest information. Arrangements can be made to meet our rescue dogs outside of Saturday adoption events after an approved application is submitted (the application does not imply an obligation by the applicant or by the rescue group).

Please be kind to our volunteers who have made rescue a second job that they do in their spare time after coming home from full-time jobs. E-mail inquiries will be answered much more quickly than phone inquiries; our phone number is a voice mailbox only.

Thank you for your support of rescue and your interest in a rescue dog!
