Story
Good With Kids: Yes Good With Other Dogs: Yes Good With Cats: Yes Housetrained: Yes Crate Trained: Yes Walks Nicely On A Leash: Yes w/ Harness Energy Level (Couch Potato, Moderate or High): Medium Special Needs: N/A Physical Fence: Preferred Favorite Toy / Activity: Time with family Arrival story: After moving from their 22-acre farm to the city to care for family, their loving owners realized these active dogs were struggling to adjust to life without a fenced yard, so they made the selfless decision to help them find a home better suited to their needs. Approximate age / Weight: 5 yrs old and 50 lbs. Personality: Andrew is a devoted companion who loves being wherever his people are. He's affectionate, playful, and incredibly tuned in to his family, always ready to join whatever adventure the day brings. Tug-of-war, stuffed toys, treats, and car rides are some of his favorite things, and he takes treats with the gentlest touch. He's smart, walks best wearing a harness, and every now and then may investigate the kitchen counters if something tempting has been left behind. Growing up on a farm gave Andrew a love for the outdoors, and he's happiest when he has room to explore with his best friend, Stella. Ideal Home: Andrew and Stella share a special bond and are looking for a family committed to keeping them together. They'll thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard or acreage where they can enjoy an active lifestyle and plenty of time outside. Andrew is wonderful with children, dogs, and cats, and he's house trained, crate trained, and hand-signal trained. If you're looking for two loyal companions who are ready to be part of your everyday life, Andrew and Stella would love to meet you. Ready to Meet Andrew?

Story
Good With Kids: Unknown Good With Other Dogs: Yes Good With Cats: Unknown Housetrained: Yes Crate Trained: Not needed. Walks Nicely On A Leash: Yes. May pull to squirrels/rabbits. Energy Level (Couch Potato, Moderate or High): Medium Special Needs: N/A Physical Fence: Preferred Favorite Toy / Activity: Chewing on Bully Stick Arrival story: We found Scottie at Oakland County Animal Control where he’d spent a year waiting for someone to notice what an awesome dog he is. Approximate age / Weight: 2 yrs old and 70 lbs. Personality: Before you ask... yes, these ears are real and they’re fabulous! Scottie has a talent for making friends wherever he goes. He likes other dogs, loves exploring, and takes his job as the neighborhood Squirrel Supervisor very seriously. Those little fuzzy acrobats are always up to something, and somebody has to keep an eye on them. You're welcome! Despite a year in a shelter, Scottie has great house manners with no potty accidents reported since arriving in foster care. He does enjoy a good nap on the couch, though. Scottie will keep tabs on you and follow you around the house, “helping” with things that do not require a dog to do. He’s a curious boy and "highly invested in everything” like, What's that smell? Who walked by? Is that a leaf... or a squirrel in disguise? These are important questions he needs answers for. Happy to hang out with his dog buddies, go for walks, or lean into you for some quality affection, Scottie is an easy-going guy with a big heart, even if his ears occasionally pick up radio stations from three counties away. Scottie has spent time at the office with his foster dad and enjoys a car ride, too. Ideal Home: Scottie would fit into many home situations. He adores humans and would enjoy a dog pal, as well. Ready to Meet Scottie? Please contact wtdr@waggintailsdogrescue.org with any questions or submit adoption application via our website www.waggintailsdogrescue.org/adoption-application.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 6 yrs 7 mos

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.
