Story
My name is Walker and I'm 4 years old.  If you are looking for a dog that loves to exercise, go on hikes, watch you do homework, protect your family and home, as well as your coworker, that is ME. I'm extremely smart. When I was surrendered, I was a  nearly feral dog, because of the lack of human interaction. I was so afraid of everything I would lose all control of my bowels anytime I heard a human voice, or a door close, or footsteps. Since I've been at the shelter, I've come such a long way. You would never think that was my background. I'm always happy. Once I see a visitor that shows me attention and love, from there I don't take my eyes off of them and I'll stare at them, standing on the kennel walls, on my back 2 long legs. A couple details about me:  1) Yes I'm very big, 90 pounds  but don't let that intimidate you 2) I can be skittish at first but then I'll warm up very quickly  3) Unique traits: I believe I am a pure bred German Shepherd and one of my ears is flopped down for life due to damage caused by the hematoma I had on that ear. When I was found, I had a very bad ear infection and because of all the head shaking, that hematoma formed, which now causes that ear to be prone to ear infection usually only after swimming.  4) I'm neutered and I'm up to date on vaccinations  5) I have a high prey drive with cats but they think I would do great in a home with medium to large dogs. Meet and greet would be great!!  6) I'm okay with children but with proper supervision due to my size   And side note I'm very calm when I get put back in my kennel. I just want to please and I'm very polite when I walk by other dogsDecember 10, 2023, 2:58 pm

Story
My name is Bosco.  My owner, recently passed away and it was either I go to a shelter and get euthanized or someone give myself and my 4 friends a chance.  The best friend of our father, took me in to save us, but now I need to find a permanent home.  There are 5 of us altogether and it’s too much for our temp dad because he already has his own group that he has rescued over time.  I get along with other dogs and kids and swimming is my sport of choice.  Please become my new home so that I can have more great years.   Apply to adopt by clicking on the link below http://www.wagsandwhiskerspetrescue.com/adopt.html Thank you so much for looking into wags and whiskers for your next family member.

Story
My story is very sad.  My owner recently passed away and his best friend took all 5 of us in so we wouldn’t get euthanized at the shelter.  They are all full and euthanasia rates are high, again.  However, temp dad already has a full house and we are adding to the load.  I need to find a permanent home or foster as soon as possible.  I get along great with my dog pack, but can be iffy with new dogs.  Bosco and I get along great, if you have room for 2.  I’d do best with children over 5.  I do love to swim, I’d even be happy in a kiddie pool.  Adopt me please and let’s go swim together.   Apply to adopt by clicking on the link below http://www.wagsandwhiskerspetrescue.com/adopt.html Thank you so much for looking into wags and whiskers for your next family member.
