Story
Miles is a happy and pleasant dog. He desires to be with a family that will love and be there with him. He is a dog that lives with a cat so that is not a big issue. Due to his size he is unaware how intimidating his presense can be to people and other pets. He is house trained and rarely has an accident. He is a VERY strong dog and doesn't realize it.

Story
Tank & Chrissy are gorgeous, gentle and very sweet purebred shar peis who were given up to the rescue after their owner in rural Mississippi passed away. They are just wonderful dogs, friendly and loving and very bonded. We would love for them to be adopted together. Tank and Chrissy are not siblings, their owner purchased them from a breeder with the intent to breed and then sell puppies. Chrissy had one litter and then her owner passed away. Wag spayed and neutered Tank and Chrissy once they came to the rescue, Wags also paid for necessary eye surgery for both dogs and they have recovered well. Unfortunately, they are both heartworm positive, but have a mild cases and are being treated. They will be two years old this summer. We have decided to list them now to see if we can find a potential adopter who is willing to adopt them together and either wait for them to finish their heartworm treatment or even adopt them and continue the treatment on their own. They really are extremely easy and just the nicest dogs and deserve a loving home of their own.   At the rescue Tank and Chrissy live with other dogs and are friendly to kids and are well socialized. They love to play together, adore toys and bones and are both major snuggle bugs. We have not listed an adoption fee for Tank and Chrissy—their vet bills have been into the thousands between the eye surgery, spay, neuter, and heartworm treatment, and we are not expecting that to be reimbursed but would like to discuss the fee with any potential adopters. Wags is a struggling 501(c) 3  where one woman cares for 150 dogs in a small town in Mississippi.   For more information on Tank & Chrissy please email mariaeftimiades@yahoo.com     May 13, 2024, 7:55 am

Story
Meet Bruce Wayne! The most loving, cuddly, sweetest big boy who loves his belly rubs! Looks will deceive you because this boy doesn’t have a mean bone in his buff little body! He loves to sound intimidating when people knock on the door however once they give him his hello he’s nothing but love! He loves to stay close, does great at a dog park rather than sidewalks for walks. Who doesn’t love a good sun bathe? Brucey sure does! Bruce has some fear of loud noises which came from his puppy life. And who doesn’t hate loud claps of thunder? Bruce always loves a thunder buddy! He is crate trained however not many toys have lasted in the crate aside from his Kong. He also does well on long car rides. He is good with kids and other animals however Bruce needs more one on one at this time in his life.
