Our Featured Pet...

Our featured pet of the week is Daisey. She is a bichon/poodle mix and is about 3 years old. Daisey is such a sweet girl. She came to us after having been abandoned in a trailor with her puppies that were only days old. All her puppies have found homes and now Daisey would like one of her own also. Daisey seems to do well with house training. She used the pee pads consistently while nursing her puppies. Daisey knows how to walk on a leash too. She gets alon with other dogs. She also doesn't mind cats. She shares her bed with them. Please take a look at Daisey and make her a part of your family. Don't forget the seniors we have listed....they too need great homes!

Who We Are

Waggin Tails Pomeranian and English Bulldog Rescue is a non-profit group looking out for the welfare of dogs. We work closely with reputable breeders and shelters to place furbabies that need homes. We work hard to help in shutting down those puppy millers that leave so many animals homeless each year. Dogs that come from these mills have rarely had any medical attention or human attention. Most of the animals we get in need lots of vet care. There is a nominal adoption fee to adopt a pet from us. These fees vary depending on demand of breed as well as the amount of time, care and vet expenses put into each pet. These fees go toward vet care for our rescues, food, toys and to save more fur babies from being killed. Our main goal is to place these animals in loving indoor homes where they can remain forever. Adoption fees include spay or neuter, age appropriate vacciantions, worming, heart worm tesing (adult dogs), and vet check. We spay or neuter all of the animals and get all shots up to date before adoption. There is no exceptions. Please do not ask. If you are looking for a dog to breed rescue is not the place to look. We hope you would re-consider your decision to breed as you are just adding to the pet overpopulation problem. Those cute little puppies grow up and unfortunately get thrown out!!!

Adopting a friend

PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPLICATION BELOW TO BE CONSIDERED TO ADOPT ONE OF OUR PETS. Thank you for your interest in adopting one of our wonderful pets! We will do our best to find a pet that is just right for you but we will need your help. Please take a few moments to read this application. Fill it out and return it to us. We will keep your application on file for six months and you may call or drop us an email at any time during the six months; however, after that time period a new application will need to be filed. The decision to adopt is very important. In order to insure that you and your pet will be happy for years to come, we need to take time to discuss yours and the animals individual needs, personality traits, and our follow-up services. We are under no obligation to adopt an animal to any individual whom we should feel the match would not be satisfactory. We want to ensure our pets will be a lifelong companion for the adoptee and that the pet will receive all of the love and care they will need for their lifetime. We will not adopt out a pet for a gift. This pet must live in your home with your family. Every dog we have available has been rescued. This could be from extreme neglect to the most frequent excuse, I no longer have time for my pet. Rescued pets frequently have been abused or neglected or come from a shelter where they likely would have been killed. They are not perfect dogs. If you must have a perfect dog, a rescued pet is not for you. Rescue dogs make wonderful pets. They want nothing more than you to love them. They may have never had a warm home or a soft bed to lie on. Many have lived their lives in cages in feces with little or no human contact. Most will not be fully housebroken due to previous living conditions. You must have patience and be willing to work on this issue. Waggin Tails does request a donation to adopt one of our pets. We do require all of our pets to be spayed or neutered before leaving our rescue. Adoption donations vary, depending on length of stay in rescue and vetting costs. Since we operate solely on donations received from adoptions all adoption fees go toward vet costs, feeding and housing the rescues. Fees are set to help cover vet expenses and care while in rescue. Some may be slightly higher than others due to the dogs individual needs. Dogs with special needs and puppies are more of an expense to us so their adoption fees are slightly higher. Dogs who are higher maintenance also have a slightly higher adoption fee. These fees cover a vet check up, vaccinations to include rabies, worming, spay or neuter, heart worm testing (if over 6 months old), flea prevention, nail trim and bath or basic grooming if needed. This would also include a dental if our vet recommends one. Application: You will need to submit an application to adopt. It is a questionnaire as well as current information on you, your family and pets. This application will help us to determine if one of our pets will fit into your home. After we receive your application, we will review it and get back with you as soon as possible, usually with in 72 hours. This time frame is just an average and dependent upon a completed application as well as being able to verify information on your application. Home Visit: Once we have pre-approved your application you will be required to submit to a home visit. A member of our rescue or a representative of our rescue will come out to visit with your family. If at all possible, we will bring the pet you are interested in when the visit is completed. You will be asked to give a deposit to hold the dog if you are interested at this time. If we are unable to approve the application the deposit will be returned. If you choose not to adopt, the deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE. Final Contract: Please be aware you will be required to sign a contract with Waggin Tails and submit to a home visit prior to the adoption of a pet. This contract is a legal and binding document. You will be required to allow follow up visits on the pet adopted and answer occasional phone calls on the well being of the pet. If you cannot keep the pet for any reason you must agree to return it to Waggin Tails Rescue. Thanks for your interest!!
