Story
LATKE 14 years Attributes Housetrained Potties on leash Good with other dogs Good in car Low energy I'm pleased to introduce you to Latke - the sweetest little girl you'll ever meet. She came from a home where the family started expanding, so their time for Latke became very limited and they asked for our help in finding her a new loving home. You'll likely never hear a peep out of her. Her needs are few . . . just a loving home, a spot next to you in your bed, and a sunny porch or patio so she can work on her tan. She's in good health with no known medical issues at this point. Is there a soft spot in your heart and home for her? NOTE: Dog may be located in any of our six volunteer states (WI, IL, IN, OH, PA, MI).

Story
KYRA 2 years LYRA 1 year Attributes Bonded pair Dog friendly Adult-only home Not best for apartments Housetrained Need a fenced yard Kyra and Lyra are a beautiful, young, bonded pair of small girls who are ready to find a loving home together. They came from a breeder situation and are now discovering how wonderful life in a home can be. With each passing day in their foster home, they continue to grow in confidence and show just how special they are. These two are inseparable and share a sweet, devoted bond—they truly do everything together. Kyra, about 2 years old, is the more confident of the pair. Whether it’s heading outside or settling in for bedtime, she helps show Lyra the way. Kyra is curious and gently explores her surroundings, and once she feels comfortable, she enjoys back scratches, belly rubs, treats, and even following her foster family around. She loves cozy spots—whether that’s by your feet, on the couch, or snuggled up with a dog friend. Lyra, around 1½ years old, is a thoughtful and observant girl who still requires encouragement from Kyra and other dogs. While she is reserved, she is clearly interested in connecting and has already made progress—taking treats by hand and choosing to rest near her foster mom. With time and patience, her sweet personality will continue to shine through. Both girls have made good strides since arriving in foster care. They are learning to relax, enjoy a predictable routine, and feel safe in their environment. Because of this, they would do best in a home in a quiet suburban or rural neighborhood – apartment living and the hustle and bustle of city life is not for them! They would prefer an adult-only home, but a quiet home with calm, older children might also be a viable option. Car rides are not on their list of favorite things to do, but hopefully over time they will learn that car rides can lead to fun. They love having cozy spaces to unwind and will happily play, run, and wrestle together when they think no one is watching! Their playful side really comes out with each other and with other friendly dogs. Kyra and Lyra are housetrained with only occasional accidents and do best with regular outdoor access, so a fenced yard will help them continue to succeed. They haven’t yet learned leash walking but are making progress every day in building trust and confidence. These gentle, loving girls are looking for a patient and understanding home that will continue to nurture their growth. In return, they will offer a special bond—not only with each other, but with the lucky family who gives them the chance to fully blossom into the happy, loving companions they are meant to be.

Story
Tellie is about 8 years old. He likes his space but also loves to be petted and taken for short walks. He currently lives with two adults, and 8 year old and a 23 year old, along with a two year old boxer. Recently, our 23 year old tried pulling something out of his mouth, which should not have been done, and Telllie bit her finger. I’m sure an experienced dog owner would never do this, however, we have an 8 year old who has friends over and we simply don’t feel comfortable after this incident, for the dog to be around kids. It’s very unfortunate and we feel very sorry to have to do this. However, we take no chances when it comes to the safety of our children.

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.

Story
🐾 Meet Hotch – 13-Year-Old Yorkie/Shih Tzu Mix 🐾 Hotch is a sweet senior boy who is settling into foster life and showing his gentle personality more each day. ❤️ Very loving and enjoys being close to his people 🐕 Has done well with other dogs indoors (may bark at some dogs on walks) 🚶 Enjoys walks and exploring the outdoors 🪟 Loves watching the world from the window 🚗 Great in the car and enjoys outings Hotch is still adjusting and working through a few things. He can become anxious when left alone and does best in a home where someone is around often. He also may bark at passersby and is learning calmer window manners. 🍽️ Sometimes needs encouragement to eat (hand-feeding helps) 👁️ Does not produce tears and will require lifelong eye drops, which he handles very well 🧠 Not highly food-motivated, but responds well to patience and routine Hotch is a gentle, loyal little companion who just wants to be near his people and feel secure. He would thrive in a calm, loving home where he can be a constant little shadow. ❤️🐾 Apply today: https://www.underdogrescueranch.com/adopt
