Story
Jean Claude joined our rescue this summer. He is fully vetted, neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchip, and heartworm negative. Currently being fostered with a beagle companion, he would benefit from a home with a well mannered canine role model. He bonds quickly with his person, and can exhibit some typical chi behaviors including guarding or posturing. An ideal home would have expierence with the Chi breed, a loving dog friend to help him adjust, and a patient owner than can help him overcome some fear based reactions. After just a few days in a foster home he is already very loving and friendly. He is starting to engage with his foster brother and figuring out that he is safe and loved and never going back to the shelter. JC is being fostered in Wilmington, NC.

Story
Meet Polenta, a sprightly, sassy senior lady looking for the best furever home! This older lady has clearly lived with other dogs AND ruled the house. She has zero tolerance for silly youngsters (she's definitely the fun police to the foster puppies), and zero fear of anything. No matter the size or attitude of the dog, Polenta will not be standing down. She also loves her people with the same dedication. You want a couch potato to snuggle and pet? Polenta is your girl! In fact, if you aren't paying enough attention to her, she's going to tell you all about it. Have you ever wanted to be bossed around by a tiny tank with no tail and 6 inch legs? Now is your chance! Polenta's got all the love and sass you could ever want! Polenta is potty-trained, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, and current on prevention. This girl came to us severely overweight (30lb in a 20lb body) and her foster family has started her on a diet that will hopefully help her lose weight and live longer. Her adoptive home will need to continue to help this girl get down to a healthy size. Head to wagontailsfarm.org/adopt to apply!

Chihuahua Mixed Breed (Small)

Beulaville, NC
Size

Not good with dogs, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This is Hazel. Hazel is tiny and adorable, but she has very specific lists of things she does and does not like. Hazel likes: Slow introductions to new people Playing fetch with her tiny ball Taking VERY long walks Chewing on her tiny ball Belly rubs Ripping the fur off her tiny ball Hazel dislikes: Sudden movements Veterinary care Other dogs Squirrels (must chase) Car rides (but she's working on it) Hazel is a sweet little thing who is fully potty trained and pretty quiet when left to her own devices. She will protect and guard you from everything - strangers, squirrels, other dogs, birds, falling leaves, etc. She is apartment-sized, but not suited to living near lots of strange people or dogs. Hazel cannot live with small children or dogs - she is terrified of them and can become aggressive when scared. We have not tried her with cats, but she has a very strong prey drive, so we wouldn't recommend it. If you decide that Hazel is the tiny terror for you, you will not be disappointed. She will be your only pet, BUT has enough personality for both of you - she is funny, she truly enjoys long walks, and she REALLY loves playing with her ball. Hazel is about 3 years old, about 8 lbs, very active, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and spayed.

Story
Dolly is the cutest, sweetest pup that needs a home with no young kids. We aren't sure of her past as she was a stray and not reclaimed from the shelter. She is a nervous girl that deserves a loving family. She follows foster dad all over, and comes and gets him when she wants to sit in the recliner with him or have him hold her 24/7. She even tries talking to him in her adorable way. We are working on potty training. We feel it won't take long to get on a schedule and should be easy to get her 100%. She's very smart and needs a quieter home, so if you have love and can work with a scared baby, she will be the best girl ever. She is fully vetted and microchipped.
