Labrador Retriever Mix: An adopted dog in Northville, MI

Arrival story: Hi, my name is Indy! My owners didn't have time for me anymore so they took me to a shelter up north. One of the volunteers from Waggin' Tails was at the shelter picking up other dogs - Perfect Timing! - and she took me, too, so I could have the second chance I deserve.

Approximate age / weight: Indy is 1 year old and 30 lbs.

Personality: Indy is still quite new to us, but so far, he is a playful, sweet guy who loves to play fetch. He gets along well with the children in his foster home, but he startles easily, so we feel he'd do best in a home without young children. Indy plays with other dogs, but may take a few days to warm up to some dogs. (He plays with the dog in his current foster home and has played with the dog in another foster home.) He is also housebroken and crate trained.

Indy is curious but hesitant when being introduced to new things, but generally adjusts well with some reassurance. He is very frightened of loud noises, however, such as storms and fireworks, and should be carefully supervised during such times.

Forever home: Indy needs a physically fenced yard to run and play in, and a family who will walk him and give him the love and care that he deserves. He needs a calm home with no young children and a family who will be patient with his fear of loud noises and work to help him overcome those fears.

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!
