Story
We’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to rehome our two Australian Shepherds, Max and Cooper. They are brothers, best friends, they are 5 years old .After welcoming our newborn, we learned that our baby has significant allergies. We explored every option. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, it’s become clear that keeping Max and Cooper in our home isn’t safe for our child. This decision has nothing to do with them. They are loving, loyal, energetic, and everything you could ever want in dogs.Our only comfort is knowing that the right home is out there for them—ideally together—where they’ll get the attention, space, and love they deserve. If you’ve ever had to make a decision like this, you know it’s not made lightly. We ask for understanding, compassion, and help in sharing their story so they can land somewhere truly special.

Story
Good With Kids: Kids over 12 Good With Other Dogs: Yes Good With Cats: No Housetrained: Yes Crate Trained: No Walks Nicely On A Leash: Yes Knows Basic Commands: Yes Energy Level (Couch Potato, Moderate or High): Moderate to Low Special Needs: Physical Fence: N/A Favorite Toy / Activity: Cuddling on the couch and/or sun-bathing. Arrival story: Loved dearly by her family, Beta is seeking a new home due to changes in their circumstances. Approximate age / Weight: About 6 yrs old / 65 lbs. Personality: Beta is a 6-year-old pibble mix with a heart as big as her love for couch snuggles. If you sit down, she’s already planning how to sit with you—preferably touching. She lives for being close to her people and feels happiest when she’s included in everyday life, whether that is lounging in a sunny spot, supervising chores, or greeting guests like long-lost friends she’s thrilled to finally meet. She’s friendly and likes other dogs. Probably smarter than a 5th grader, you’ll want to keep her brain busy with enrichment toys and puzzles 😊. Beta has good house manners and is a generally easygoing gal… as long as her humans are nearby. When left alone too long, she can get anxious and may express her feelings through some light redecorating. Right now, she lives with a family that while home often there is a toddler making Beta anxious with his unpredictable movements and loud noises. Speaking of, she’s a great watchdog. Hears everything and wants to know what is going on. Cats? Hard pass. Beta says that’s a boundary. New Home: Beta is looking for a home where she doesn’t have to wonder where her people went. An adopter who works from home, is retired, or is around most of the day would be her dream come true. She’d love a home with another friendly dog, but she’d also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only shadow. Her ideal humans want a dog who is deeply affectionate, excited to greet friends, and happiest just being part of the daily rhythm of life. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will warm your couch, your heart, and every sunny spot in your house—Beta might just be your girl. 🐾💛 CONTACT: Please contact wtdr@waggintailsdogrescue.org with any questions or submit adoption application via our website www.waggintailsdogrescue.org/adoption-application.
