Story
👑 Meet Queen – patiently waiting for her forever home 👑 You’ve seen Queen shared again and again… and she’s still waiting for the right match. We truly believe her people are out there — because her needs are the same as most active, happy dogs. ✨ What Queen needs to thrive: • A large-breed dog friend who enjoys chasing and wrestling • Regular exercise like walks, hikes, or Sniffspots • Mental enrichment with puzzles, bones, and interactive toys That’s it. A dog friend, movement, and something to work her brain. 🏡 Queen fits into real life: • She does not need someone home all day • She’s comfortable in a crate or behind a gate for rest time or while you’re away • She does best in a home with no little kids (older kids are great!) 🎓 Queen already knows the basics: ✔ Potty trained ✔ Crate trained ✔ Leash trained ✔ Responds well to her name ✔ Knows sit, place, and more Queen is currently in board and train, continuing to build on the skills she already has — and she’s more than ready to start her next chapter in a home of her own. She’s a simple girl with the same needs as most dogs: companionship, exercise, and love. If you’ve been looking for a playful partner for your dog and a loyal companion for yourself, Queen may be your girl. Please share Queen and help us find her forever home. 👑🐾 *Queen is a 9 month old, spayed, mixed breed! She is vaccinated and microchipped.* Apply here: https://airtable.com/app49gfltshq95eup/shrdmtewFR8thMJ19?fbclid=IwY2xjawNnxGtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETEwdkRIRzBtQ3BtUklJcVI0AR6As3pvLrQmVsXFrZu6TwzRshgLgNlM94SAshIJ3bwLnuu3B1m3VQ1y6eMVhg_aem_xFCm3IHbxeKojSVCL03LOw Send any questions to our Foster Director bella@waagr.org

Story
Co-pilot Vinnie is here to help get you to the dog treats store! Have you ever been?! It's a wonderful place full of every treat you can imagine! He's happy to show you all his favorites. If you adopt Vinnie, you can buckle up for the best couch cuddles, the cutest snores (he's told it's only cute when dogs snore) and all the adventures! Please pack treats, he loves treats! Vinnie is a 6 year old, 77 pound pitty mix. He's potty trained, knows how to sit, down and crawl! Have you seen a large dog crawl? It's adorable! He's working on walking politely but is a quick study and loves to learn! Vinnie would do best as an only dog, no cats either please. He'd do best in a home with kids ages 12+, he may know how old he is but he sure doesn't know how big he is. While he may prefer the only dog lifestyle, you'll be forever entertained by Vinny and his antics. What are you waiting for? Your greatest treat store adventure awaits! Adopt Vinnie, you'll see what we mean!

Story
Grover is a six-year-old mixed breed, medium-sized dog. (Pointer, herder, lab, pit, and more). Originally rescued from Oklahoma 4 years ago. Grover is friendly, enjoys being petted, and loves to run outside and fetch balls. He will protect the home and owner (he does not like unexpected/unknown visitors at the door, or delivery people.) He knows basic commands (sit, down, stay). He does not jump up onto furniture or steal food. Grover is up to date on all vaccinations and had his annual check-up in June. Grover will lay down and watch us do yoga in our dining room. He gets along well with children. Our grandson lays down besides Grover and reads to him.

Story
Meet Nova — the girl with the big presence! 🌟 (Nova is currently living in Texas with her foster family and will be transported through Project Freedom Ride when adopted) At just 6 months old and 44 lbs., Nova may be the smallest of her litter of five, but don’t let that fool you—she naturally steps into a leadership role among her siblings. She’s expected to be a medium-sized dog once fully grown. Nova is a little more reserved at first, but once she warms up, her sweet, gentle nature shines. Her shiny black coat paired with her rich mahogany markings makes her absolutely stunning. Nova, her momma, and her siblings were left to fend for themselves on the streets in a rural Texas town until a kind couple took them in and gave them safety and care. Now Nova is ready for her next chapter—a loving forever family to call her own. If you’re looking for a beautiful, smart, and tender-hearted companion, Nova may be your girl. 💕 Please complete an Adoption/inquiry form if you’d like to adopt Nova (copy and paste the link in your browser): https://form.jotform.com/241436494645160 Fun Facts about NOVA: * Estimated date of birth is 6-12-25 * Weighs about 38 lbs. at 6 months of age * Spayed and fully vaccinated * Mom is a German Shepherd/Husky mix and dad is a mystery…possibly part Doberman * Laid back personality, but does like to be in a leadership role with her siblings * Does okay with other dogs * Heartworm and Tick Fever negative and current on preventatives Videos of NOVA: https://youtu.be/13HCrwxqJcI https://youtube.com/shorts/sjtaCMwm_yQ?feature=share https://youtube.com/shorts/vdKKZahEsgQ?feature=share https://youtube.com/shorts/cAjAi_nRVwA?feature=share ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Story
Meet Zeus, our lovable Great Dane who is nearly 2 years old and still has that playful spirit of a big puppy! This goofy giant doesn’t quite realize just how big he is! Weighing around 130 pounds, Zeus can sometimes be a bit clumsy, knocking over anything in his path (especially when he really wants to say hello!) Zeus is also quite vocal; he loves to express himself with his happy barks or chatty howls or whining complaints, especially when he’s excited, wants your attention , has to do something he doesn’t want to (this is when the complaints start), or is playing with other dogs! His silly personality and expressive nature will keep you entertained and ensure you never have a dull moment. Zeus is good with cats as long as you’re ok having to frequently remind him that cats really don’t want to play with puppies that are 12x their size! He is good with other dogs as long as the other dog is ok with Zeus’s rough and tumble play style and that he is VERY vocal when he plays Zeus is a little much for small kids and small kids are a bit much for Zeus, he does ok with older kids, >12yo up. Zeus is a loyal companion who really just wants to be wherever you are! If you're ready to welcome a big-hearted boy into your life, apply below!! https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SCGM/Dog
