Arrival story: Dutch's time was up at a rural shelter that gives pets to a dealer who then sells them for use in research. Waggin' Tails pulled Dutch to spare him from a life of suffering. Dutch is awaiting a forever home!
Approximate age / weight: 1 year old and 52 lbs., but he could use 15 more pounds.
Personality: Dutch is a big, beautiful boy! We think he is a chocolate lab. He is very sweet, the perfect dog for you big dog fans. He is a little timid at first, but loves to be petted and right by your side. Dutch is now fully vetted and will be neutered on April 6. He has spent a few nights in a foster home. He gets along well with other dogs and kids but has not been exposed to cats so we don’t know how he will react. He pulls on a leash and is being taught how to take treats gently. We will post more information as we learn more about Dutch.
Forever home: We are getting to know Dutch and will update his profile as we learn more about him.

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!
