Story
Hi! My name is Nando and I am an energetic little guy who is looking for a person or family who can keep up with me. At only 11 months old, I am still very much a puppy and am going to need plenty of exercise and different kinds of enrichment to keep me busy. I would make a great running buddy and if you like going on hikes, I will be right there by your side. But don't get me wrong -- once playtime is over, I eventually settle down and can be quite loving. Because I am so very young, I am looking for someone who has the time and patience to train a youngster like me so I can grow up to be the best dog I can be. I am a really fun little dog who is sure to keep you on your toes. And I could not be cuter if I tried! I am an adorable little guy, sporting a white coat with brown markings and ears that seem to go on for days. I love everyone I meet and seem to get along with other dogs and cats. And it has been reported that I am crate trained. So if you have an active lifestyle and ready for a little buddy to share life's many adventures with, let's meet and see if we have a connection. I will be right here waiting!

Story
Meet Mater! Mater is a sweet, snuggly boy whose favorite place is right at his people's feet. He has the cutest little prance when he walks, gets excited by the crinkle of a plastic bag, and faithfully "makes his bed" every night before going to sleep. He's also a big fan of potato rolls and will completely melt into you if you pick him up, molding himself perfectly into your arms. Mater is looking to gain a few healthy pounds, so he's happy to accept some extra treats along the way! If you're looking for a loyal companion who loves to be close, Mater might be your perfect match. —------------- Wiggles Way Rescue does not guarantee that any animal is housebroken nor crate trained.

Story
Doug is a 4-year-old Terrier–Collie mix who’s been a deeply loved family dog for 3 years. Affectionate, smart, and well-trained he knows basic commands, loves to run, hike and adores snuggling. He’s thrived with two teen boys and a cat, is playful and enjoys games of chase, and would do well on a farm or in a multi-pet home. True to his Collie side, Doug has herding instincts and is true to his pack family (humans too) will monitor your yard and chase deer or other unwanted visitors —he needs a secure yard with a 4'+ fence, daily exercise (walks, hikes, runs), and company; he doesn’t do well alone. True to his terrier side, he is a bit anxious will greet you with reckless abandon like you’ve been gone for weeks, he is on daily anxiety and thyroid meds that must be continued to avoid mild seizures from hypothyroidism. Veterinary records will transfer. If you can provide an active, loving home, please welcome Doug into your home. Our hearts are broken but we trust he’ll find his place.

These pups are in Arlington, Virginia too!

He was very much loved. Through no fault of anyone at all, he landed in the shelter. He's been sad and confused, but has done well in pup playgroup and is looking forward to once again having his own humans, to loving and being loved.    At about five years of age he is way out of the puppy yips - he's in his prime as an adult dog and all about walks and world exploration. He'd love to make pup pals along the way! Most of all, though, he wants to know where he belongs, to be safe and loved.    What do you say? Are you Zeke's next - and final - chapter? Is this small sweetie the one you see by your side?
