Story

My name is Doobie and I’m a beautiful, young, healthy boy…..with an “old soul” at heart. I love everyone and would enjoy a home with another dog to play with and an adopter who has a large safely fenced yard and who would teach me lots of new things. (I walk well on a leash most of the time, but when I see a squirrel or a deer I pull on my leash and I’m a big, strong guy. And I tend to jump up on people because I love them so much--so I probably wouldn’t be a good fit for an older, frail person or a family with very young children). But….I’m eager to please and am a quick study so I’m learning quickly! I am about a year and a half old and I weigh about 60 lbs. The rescue group who saved me says they think I’m part Lab and part (some kind of) Hound, but….once you adopt me, it would be fun to have you do a DNA test on me! My adoption fee is $250 and I have been neutered, immunized, microchipped, and I have had (negative) heartworm tests done. So I’m all set to come home with you! If you think you would be a good fit for me, please contact my foster “mom” at: sylvialovesme@gmail.com Then, if she agrees I might be the right dog for you, she will send you an adoption application and we can schedule a meet-and-greet along with a pre-adoption home visit. Personality traits Friendly, Affectionate, Loves Kisses

Rico

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Male, 6 yrs 7 mos

Columbus, WI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Rico came to us with a broken leg (after being hit by a car) but his leg is now completely healed and he's ready to rock and roll! We think Rico is some kind of a Terrier mix, and he is a very gentle, sweet, smart boy. Although he was found as a stray, we suspect he was someone's beloved pet at one time because he is quite well mannered. Rico has been totally vetted (neutered, immunized, dewormed, and microchipped). Rico is a young adult (probably a year or two old), he weighs 50 lbs., and he seems to be housebroken (he hasn't yet had one accident in the house!). We want Rico to have a safely fenced yard and we would prefer that he not be left home alone 40 hours a week as a latchkey dog. So an adopter who works from home, works just part time, or is retired would be the best fit for him. Our rescue group adopts to individuals, couples, or to families with children 12 yrs. of age or older. Rico is presently undergoing heartworm treatment and will be ready for adoption in September. His adoption fee is $300. If you feel you would be a good fit for Rico, please contact us at: sylvialovesme@gmail.com and tell us about yourself, your daily schedule, if you have a safely fenced yard, etc. Once we received your inquiry--if we feel Rico would be a good fit for you (and vice versa)--we will e-mail you an application. Then, once your application has been approved, we can set up a time and place for a meet-and-greet. Please watch his video at: youtu.be/LrDNjszHFu8 Personality traits Smart, Affectionate, Loyal, Gentle, Loves kisses, Friendly

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

My name is Leah and I’m a beautiful, young, healthy girl with a lot of potential. (I don't climb fences,, but I can jump really high--so with some training I might make a great agility partner.) I would enjoy a home with another dog to run and play with and I need an adopter who has a nice safely fenced yard and who would teach me lots of new things. I am about two years old and I weigh about 35 lbs. The rescue group who saved me says they think I’m part Hound and part "Whats-It" (whatever THAT means -HA HA!). Your guess is as good as theirs, apparently. What do YOU think I"m mixed with? (Maybe I'm some kind of fancy "designer dog" mixed breed!) Anyway, my adoption fee is $250 and I have been spayed, immunized, microchipped, and I have had (negative) heartworm tests done. So I’m all set to come home with you! If you think you would be a good fit for me, please contact my foster “mom” at: sylvialovesme@gmail.com Then, if she agrees I might be the right dog for you, she will send you an adoption application and we can schedule a meet-and-greet along with a pre-adoption home visit.

Story

Hades may have a big name, but this approximately 4-month-old black Pitty mix is more of a lovebug than a ruler of the underworld. Wherever you go, he wants to go too—whether it’s the couch, the backyard, or even the shower (he promises not to judge).If you’ve got kids who understand that puppies come with a side of goofy chaos, Hades is their perfect sidekick. He’s the class clown of the canine world—always up for a game, an adventure, or an impromptu trampoline session (yes, he loves bouncing).With a heart as big as his puppy paws, Hades is all about companionship. He’s treat-motivated and eager to please, making him a smart little student ready to learn all the good-boy skills. His favorite things? Wrestling with his dog friends, playing with all the toys he can find, and hopping up onto a chair like a little gentleman—just to sit and "chat" with you.Though he’s naturally submissive, Hades can sometimes be that younger sibling—full of energy and excitement, even when older dogs might be ready for a nap. But don’t worry, he’s learning!If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, and loyal pup who will follow you anywhere (literally), Hades is your guy. Come meet him—he’s ready to be your best friend for life!apply at wbdr.org
