Chocolate Labrador Retriever Mix: An adopted dog in Northville, MI

Arrival story: Reesey was pulled from a rural shelter where his owners had brought him due to his constant scratching. It turns out he had a skin condition that was very easily diagnosed and easily cured. Lucky for us, a Waggin' Tails volunteer rescued him and got him the treatment he needed. Now, finally, he is living comfortably and itch free.

Approximate age / weight: Approx. 10 months old (approx. DOB 1-01-10) and 60 lbs.

Personality: Reesey is sweeter than his name implies! He is fitting in well at his foster home. He can sit for a treat and takes them gently. He gets along great with the family dog and loves to be around the children. Reesey loves to play fetch and tug-o-war. He tends to pull on his leash but is doing better with a harness. Reesey thinks he is a lap dog and loves nothing more than being with people. He is a sweet, friendly dog...

Forever home: Reesey would do well in a home with or without children. He enjoys the company of other dogs but would also do well on his own. A home with squeaky toys is a bonus!!

Waggin' Tails Adoption Information: Waggin' Tails Dog Rescue has a standard adoption fee of $225 for adult dogs. Different adoption fees apply for older dogs, small breeds and puppies - $125 for senior dogs (9 years +) , $275 for small breed dogs and $250 for puppies, plus a $50 deposit which is returned upon proof of spay/neuter. Our adoption process includes an application, vet reference checks, and a home visit.

Waggin' Tails Dog Rescue does not have a shelter facility. All of our dogs are fostered in private homes. To meet a dog in person, please see our event calendar on our website at www.waggintailsdogrescue.org for the latest information. Arrangements can be made to meet our rescue dogs outside of Saturday adoption events after an approved application is submitted. This application does not imply an obligation to adopt by the applicant or by the rescue group.

Our volunteers have made rescue a second job that they do in their spare time after coming home from full-time jobs. E-mail inquiries are the quickest way to obtain information about a dog.

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