Arrival story: Hershey was picked up from a vacant home by a rural shelter. The former owners had been evicted and were living in a hotel. As it turns out, they were going back and feeding Hershey daily but weren’t allowed to take him to the hotel. The family surrendered Hershey after realizing they could no longer care for him.

Approximate age / weight: Hershey is approximately 2 years old and 55 lbs.

Personality: Hershey is a beautiful Husky with striking facial markings. He is very affectionate and loves attention. Hershey appears to be housebroken as the former owners claimed, and he is settling nicely into the foster home. He doesn’t seem to mind cats. Hershey had a wound on his elbow and it is being treated.

Forever home: We are learning about Hershey and will post more soon.

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!
