Story
Penny has been waiting for a home in Wisconsin since January! Yes, Penny is a pitty mix, and this breed is not adopted quickly like a doodle, lab, or golden retriever. Pitties sit and wait patiently, hoping maybe today will be my lucky day.This girl LOVES her people. She wags with excitement from the tip of her nose to the end of her tail.Are you looking for a girl who will love you for who you are and never judge? Penny is your girl. We need to find Penny her forever home.She is 45 lbs, completed her heartworm treatment down south while not having her forever home.Penny needs to be an only dog. She never was properly socialized with other dogs. She is great with humans. No cats, she thinks they are a fun chase toy.This girl deserves a family that will love her and enjoy some cuddles along with a forever commitment.apply at wbdr.org

Story
Serenity, also known as CiciHuskyFemale5 years oldGood with dogs and very shy of peopleCici was a surrender from an Amish farmer that the state closed down due to neglect and bad conditions. She was used for breed purposes only. We believe she had at least 8 litters. Cici needs a home with another playful pup, and a fenced-in yard is a must.Cici has a heart condition, and because of that, she can not be spayed. There is a surgery to correct it, but their is a high chance she may not make it through the procedure. We have decided to let her live out her days, and we want her to have the very best. Cici is very sweet but is shy of people petting her. This girl has not 1 mean bone in her body. She is a dog that loves to lay in front of a door and soak up the warm sun. She is currently being fostered with lots of other dogs and small kids.apply at wbdr.org

Story
Luke- 8 month old Husky/Shepherd Mix, 50 pounds, neuteredLuke is a young energetic boy that is looking for a home to match his energy. He needs a home that will provide mental and physical exercise, with consistent and strong leadership. He is a very smart and loyal dog. He loves to learn, enjoys treats, and his favorite past time is chewing on toys. He is potty trained and sleeps in a gated area. He is doing well with two adult dogs and a puppy in his foster home. Due to lack of socialization in his first home, proper introductions will be necessary for Luke. He will need a yard with a secured fence to help him with his energy. He would do best in a home with older children.Apply at wbdr.orgapply at wbdr.org

Duke (DOB 12/5/23) is an energetic and playful dude! As a puppy, potty training is of course a work in progress. He weighed in at 7.2lbs when he arrived and only time will tell how big he will get because he is a perfect mixed breed rescue pup! Duke has not yet been introduced to cats, but does well with both dogs and children!Apply at wbdr.orgapply at wbdr.org
