Story
Astro was a dedicated companion to our widowed mother till she died before Christmas this year. None of her children are able to adopt Astro and we are urgently trying to find him a forever home. Astro is a mellow old dude and a dedicated snuggler (he joined my mother on the couch each night and provided great company). He has been an indoor dog living in a condo with my mother for the past five years, so he is not accustomed to much more than some short walks around the neighborhood, making him suitable for another senior human companion. He was fiercely loyal and protective as a younger dog and was not good around other dogs, so it is probably best he would be the only pet in his adoptive home. He does fine around older children (her house was often filled with grandkids). Astro does have some food allergies (recent adjustments in his diet have helped alleviate the issues) and he has a heart murmur, but he is otherwise a healthy senior dog.

Story
Check out our Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for more pictures & videos of our adoptable dogs!Updated: 12/25/2025 Dog Name: Piper Sex: Female Estimated Breed: Husky/Poodle Mix Approximate Age: 9 months Approximate Weight: 25 lbs Litter Name: Gilmore Girls Litter Spay/Neuter Status: Spayed  Description: Piper is a sweet girl who is still very much a puppy, which means she’s playful, curious, and still learning how to behave in different situations. Piper loves chew toys, enjoys going on walks, and is always up for playtime. She’s energetic and a bit jumpy in her excitement, but she also has a very cuddly, affectionate side and enjoys being close to her people.    She’s already off to a great start with her training! Piper is housebroken, crate trained, knows how to sit, and comes when called. Like all puppies, she still needs continued training and guidance to help her grow into a well-mannered adult dog. She does play with her mouth, so she’ll do best with a family that understands normal puppy behavior and is willing to help her learn appropriate play.   Piper is looking for a patient, loving family who understands puppy energy and is willing to help her learn, grow, and explore the world. With consistency, positive reinforcement, and plenty of love, Piper will make a wonderful companion.    Adoption Fee: $550We are a Wisconsin state licensed dog rescue -WI# 402433   ***We do not have a central adoption center at this time. All our dogs are in private foster homes within WI. At this time, we only place our dogs in areas of WI. The breed of our dogs is our best guess with the help of our veterinarians. Our Weight Classes are as follows: 0- 25lbs - Small 26- 45lbs - Medium 46-89 - Large 90+ X-large If you are adopting an adult dog, which we consider 6 months of age or older, your adoption fee includes the following: Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper shots, dewormed, flea & tick preventative, heartworm tested and microchipped. If you are adopting a dog younger than 6 months of age, the dog will be up to date on the shots as per the dogs age. The dog will be dewormed, flea/tick preventative and microchipped. We only spay/neuter our dogs once they're at least 6 months old. If you decide to adopt a younger dog than 6 months, they will need to be spayed/neutered by your veterinarian when they are between 6 to 8 months old. Proof that the spay/neuter has been completed will need to be submitted to Tailwaggers911. Once proof of the spay/neuter has been received, we will refund $100 of your adoption fee via Venmo, PayPal or have a check in the mail within 15 days. Once you are approved with our rescue, you can meet any one of our dogs within the fosters home. If you are interested in the dog you met, you can take the dog home under our mandatory foster to adopt program. You receive 5 days to see if the dog is the right fit for your home. If it is, we will conduct the home visit and finalize adoption. If it is not, it is returned to the foster. We are happy to find you another dog that meets your needs in your home. If a dog is listed as ADOPTION IN PROCESS, a family has met the dog and planning on adopting the dog after the home visit has been conducted. We always suggest sending in an application for a dog because there are times where the dogs are given back to us under the foster to adopt program. There are many reasons dogs are returned but normally it just was not the right fit for all.Please go to WWW.TAILWAGGERS911.COM under HOW TO ADOPT . We have an online application that is very easy to fill out. December 26, 2025, 12:48 pm
