Our Featured Pet...

Meet Bianca is a sweet pittie mix. She is petite, only around 45lb. She loves dogs and loves to wrestle with them. She completely ignores the cats in the home. Being that she is only around a year, she is still working on manners and training but is doing very well. Bianca has been treated for come chronic diarrhea issues that she had, probably the reason she surrendered, The vet diagnosed her with IBD, this just basically means she can only eat her own food, no human food, chew bones, dog treats ect.... that said she might not be a good fit for a home with young kids that drop food on the floor or might feed scrapes to her. Her illness is controlled with her food, so she is completely house and crate trained.

Who We Are

Wags & Whiskers Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives and finding forever homes for stray, abandoned and surrendered dogs in high kill shelters. We are a small, no-kill, volunteer run organization. All of our dogs and cats listed are in foster homes waiting to be adopted and because of this, we get to know the animals' personalities very well and use this information to match them to an appropriate home. We do not have a physical shelter. This rescue is not funded by public funds nor does it receive many donations so it is dependent on adoption fees to keep operating. We have a great need for foster homes. If you are interested in providing foster care, and live near Twin Cities, please e-mail us. We provide all needed supplies and cover medical costs Donations ALWAYS needed are: dog toys, puppy pee pads, natures miracle (for pet stain removal), Puppy/dog/kitten/cat food, cleaning supplies, paper towels, large clean towels, dog crates, leashes, collars, and gas cards to help with our transports. Also, all cash donations are tax-deductible.

Adopting a friend

We only adopt out animals to homes within 60 miles of the Twin Cities, or a 30 minute radius of Duluth, Rochester, and Mankato! Our adoption process includes an adoption application. After reviewing your application a meeting is scheduled between you and the pet, in the foster's home or a neutral dog friendly place. If there are any resident dogs are in your home, it is required that the dogs meet at this time. After the meeting a home visit is scheduled and if everything goes well with the visit the adoption is finalized at that time. A home visit by one our representatives is REQUIRED prior to finalizing any adoption and we must meet all members of the household where the pet will be living sometime during the adoption process. We reserve the right to refuse any applicant for any reason Adoption fee includes vet exam(s) , spay/neuter, de-wormings, heartworm test (if 6 months of age or older) and up-to-date vaccinations. **We would also Like to thank Lexington Pet Clinic for offering a free office visit to all of our new adoptive parents** Please note, Email is the best way to get a fast response, feel free to call us, but due to the high volume of calls we receive daily, it may take up to one week for your call to be returned ***the first step to the adoption process is to fill out the adoption application at our website, www.wagsmn.com. once that is completed, it will be reviewed and the foster parent will call you to set up a time to meet your new family member***
