Personality: Shamrock, affectionately known as Rocky, has a great love for people and has super snuggle skills that will make you feel special. She will follow you like a shadow. ROcky is sweet and loves to jump on your lap for cuddles. If she can't find a warm body, you will find her hogging the nearest heat vent. Shamrock fetches with fearless determination. Silly girl even chases bugs sometimes. has great recall, and is a breeze to walk on a leash. She enjoys playing with other dogs and has a super friendly personality.

Rocky's foster parents are teaching her about swimming in a lake with her foster siblings and exploring at the park. Rocky has a beautiful reddish, brindle coat that is very unique. She's quite stunning!

Forever home: As a pup, Shamrock will be dependent on her new family to teach her the things all dogs know to make her a loving companion, in a kind and gentle manner. We recommend all pups attend age-appropriate training class to help strengthen your bond. Please remember that puppies require lots of attention, playtime and patience, while they grow.

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, $275 for small breed dogs and $250 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!
