Story

JJ, AKA;Jack; he is 8 years old Is a very smart dog, trained to sit , lay, follow commands, He is on schedule and aware of schedule - he understands human words. He will walk with leash , also off-leash trained as lot as he knows his boundaries. Loves attention, loves to have companion, loves walks. He was bottle-fed as baby had lots of love and attention. I was his only owner, I became sick last year, hard time walking him. He is getting up there in age and showing signs of it. He will still fetch ball and has spurts of energy, but not all the time. JJ recently has been experiencing some behavioral issues out of the blue, he forgets who we are when startled, he needs to be supervised around children. JJ needs a companion and a home without children, he ok with other dogs , he has been with our 2 others just fine and visits with family dogs. Fenced in yard, if not supervised He would be perfect for a one on one companion and watch over the house while owner is not home.

Goldendoodle

Silver Lake, WI

Size

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Our 3.5-year-old Goldendoodle is looking for his forever home. He weighs 87 lbs, is up to date on all vaccines, recently received flea & tick prevention, and was just given a clean bill of health by the vet. We recently rescued him from a home where he wasn’t well cared for. He’s a calm, easygoing dog who loves relaxing with his people. He rides great in the car, is kennel trained, and does well once crated. He walks well with a harness but is still working on manners around other dogs. A securely fenced yard is recommended. He’s done well with almost everyone he’s met but has had issues with two members of our household, so we’re looking for a better fit. Because of his size, we recommend a home without small children. He deserves a loving family where he can thrive. ❤️

Story

JANETThree’s Company called… and apparently Janet got cast as the sweet, soft-hearted roommate with the giant bat ears and emotional support energy. 🖤This little beauty is around 12 weeks old, approximately 7 pounds, and appears to be some kind of Chihuahua mix… although we strongly suspect there’s a little corgi mixed in based on those absolutely ridiculous ears. We’re pretty sure she can hear a treat bag open from three counties away.Janet is currently being fostered with her brother Jack, and while he’s usually the first one ready to explore something new, Janet tends to hang back just a little at first and take everything in. Once she settles in though? She absolutely wants to be close to her people — curled up beside you on the couch, quietly following you around, and emotionally attaching herself to your daily routine immediately.She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, loves everyone she meets, and has such a soft, gentle personality. She’s still learning all the normal puppy things like leash walking, crate life, and potty training, but she’s eager to learn and already proving to be a very easy puppy to love.And honestly?There’s just something special about the quiet girls. 🖤✨ Apply to adopt at:www.biggiepawsrescue.orgYou could keep scrolling… but Janet would take that personally. 🐾▪️ Located in: Kewaunee County▪️ Adoption fee: $500 + $150 refundable spay deposit▪️ Microchipped: Yes▪️ Current on age-appropriate vaccines: YesDATCP # 494550

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

TALLYFor SEVEN WEEKS Tally has been sitting in rescue wondering why nobody has shown up for her yet… and honestly? SAME.Because this dog wakes up every morning like she just drank three energy drinks and received life-changing news.Tally approaches every single day with the enthusiasm of a kid who just found out recess got extended.Fetch? OBSESSED.Car rides? LET’S GO.Backyard zoomies? Absolutely mandatory.Personal space? She’s unfamiliar with the concept because she loves her people THAT much.At approximately 2 years old and 28 pounds, Tally is basically what would happen if pure joy somehow became a dog. She’s goofy, expressive, adventurous, wildly entertaining, and always seems genuinely thrilled to be included in whatever’s happening.And yes… we still aren’t entirely convinced she sleeps.Her foster family swears every time they check on her, those giant eyes are already open and ready for the next activity. Honestly? Respect.Tally has made HUGE progress in foster care. She’s doing great with potty training on a consistent schedule, sleeps quietly through the night in her crate, rides wonderfully in the car, and has discovered that playing fetch might actually be her life’s purpose.She’s still very much a playful, energetic dog and would thrive with someone who enjoys adventure, walks, playtime, and a dog that actually wants to participate in life WITH them.But underneath all the silly chaos?Tally is incredibly loving.She wants attention. She wants connection. She wants to be part of the family. And despite being overlooked for seven weeks now, she continues waking up every day happy, hopeful, and ready to love people anyway. 🖤And honestly?That kind of joy deserves a home.✨ Approx. 2 years old⚖️ Approx. 28 lbs🐾 Possible Pug mix📍 Located in Kewaunee, WI💲 Adoption fee: $450✔️ Spayed✔️ UTD on vaccines✔️ Microchipped✨ Apply to adopt at:www.biggiepawsrescue.orgSome dogs bring peace and quiet.Tally brings laughter, adventure, and emotional support chaos. 🐾DATCP # 494550
