Story
Marley was a year and two months old when I rescued him from my father's coworkers home in Rhode Island. Now Marley is ten years old, turning eleven in February 2025. He is very affectionate, loyal, loves to eat, is food motivated, playful, energetic, and curious. Marley has trouble relaxing in environments where there are many unfamiliar faces or where there are loud noises (fireworks). I am searching for a good home for Marley because my living arrangements have changed, and I can no longer keep him.

Story
adoption donation : $699 weight 18 lbs Age: 3 months  as of 8/25   Meet our adorable Andy Griffith puppies—Andy, Barney, Thelma Lou, Helen and Aunt Bea—these are adorable, sweet and gentle puppies that were found as strays in a rural town outside of Tupelo Mississippi. W.A.G.S. took them in and the two boys and three girls have thrived, spending their days romping and playing together and then snuggling in a great big puppy pile to nap.   The puppies are all fully vaccinated and available to travel from Mississippi to loving homes the weekend after Labor Day.   Andy was a little shy at first, but has come out of his shell, now he is just as friendly and active as his sister. He loves toys and bones and get along great with all the dogs at the rescue. Andy is doing well potty training but will need additional guidance while he adjusts to a new home. Like any puppy Andy needs a family dedicated to giving him the structure and training he needs to grow up to be the very good boy we know he can be.      Wags is a struggling 501(c) 3 where one woman in rural Mississippi takes care of about 150 homeless and stray dogs. Wags desperately need to raise funds to help the sick and older dogs at the rescue. Adoption donations are the only source of funding for the rescue.

Story
Oliver is a lovely little beagle, but his family is moving away and can no longer take care of him. He is gentle and good with children and gets along with other dogs and cats. He would be a fantastic addition to any household and has so much love to give. He has trouble being off leash, and the ideal household would have a fence that the dog could run around inside of.
