Dachshund Mix: An adopted dog in Northville, MI

Arrival story: Bonnie and Handsome, another one of our available dogs, were surrendered to Waggin' Tails by a good-hearted lady who lives in a rural area where animals are often dumped on her property. She has taken these animals in, but over time accumulated more animals than is allowed by local ordinances, so she was forced to remove many dogs. Fortunately, her pleas for help fell on the right ears, and some rescues, including Waggin Tails, came to her aid.

Approximate age / weight: Approximately 4 years old and 10 lbs.

Personality: Bonnie is a Red Dachshund with a beautiful coat and a bubbly personality - she is a happy, playful, healthy girl who responds to her name and knows some basic commands. Bonnie's foster mom says she can be a little shy at first, but she warms up quickly. She's such a good girl! Bonnie loves to spend time with her ...

Bonnie's foster mom says she can be a little shy at first, but she warms up quickly. She's such a good girl! Bonnie loves to spend time with her friend Handsome, who is also up for adoption.

Bonnie is good with dogs who respect her small size and her space, and she is good with cats (she's very interested at first, but then moves on to the next adventure).

Forever home: Bonnie will do well in many situations, especially if there's someone's lap to lounge in. She would love to have her friend, Handsome, accompany her to her forever home, but it is not a requirement. (Handsome is the Dachshund who came to us with Bonnie, and he is also online.) Bonnie's adoption fee is $275.

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!
