Story
My name is Willow, and I am (if I do say so myself) the best dog ever! I love people and my favorite thing is to snuggle next to my person. I love dogs too, though, and I like to play with cats—by chasing them! (But sometimes they don’t want to play with me. I can’t figure out why….) I would do best with an adopter who has a safely fenced yard (please, no invisible fencing) and preferably an adopter who is home much of the time because I don’t want to be a “latchkey” dog. I’m completely vetted and am ready for my new home, but the rescue who took me in is going to be very fussy about finding the perfect adopter for me. My adoption fee is $350. If you think you qualify, please send an e-mail to my foster mom at: sylvialovesme@gmail.com and tell her about yourself and about other members of your family, your daily schedule, if you have other pets, if you have a safely fenced yard, etc. (The more information you provide, the better idea she will have re: whether we would be a good match for each other. Then she will write back to you and--if she thinks you are a promising adoption candidate--she will e-mail you an adoption application to fill out.)

Story
Reggie is an 8-year-old, male Maltipoo who weighs in at about 8 lbs. Reggie will need to go to a family without young kids. He would do best in a quiet household with owners who are willing to take things at his pace. Reggie is extremely anxious and fearful but has made amazing progress in the first 24 hours. Right now we are working on consistency and building trust. Reggie is house-trained (belly band in first video was just a precaution), walks great on a leash, loves his walks, sleeps in his crate at night without objection, and knows basic commands like come, sit, and stay. If you have the patience and understanding needed to work with an anxious, fearful dog, he will be your loyal, loving companion always. Currently being fostered in Brookfield, WI.

You get a 5 day trial with me in your home. Put in your application soon!*** Please help me get out! I am currently in a place where there are lots of unwanted dogs and not all of us here get the chance I might have to leave! But in order to help me out of here to catch the ride to WI on February 7th and arrive on February 8th, I need *both* a sponsor, and a WI foster home *or* a WI adopter! I have a place for now, but I can't stay here forever and I am worried. The rescue has put a hold on me to save my spot on the trip up north to WI, but now they need YOUR help to get me there - don't wait!!! Updated: 1/13/25 Dog Name: Eli Litter Name: Pickles Litter Estimated Date of Birth: November 24th, 2024 Sex: Male Neuter Status: Currently too young Estimated Breed Mix: Maltese/Terrier Mix Approximate Age: 7 weeks Approximate Weight: approx. 2.5 lbs Adoption Fee: $550  Description: Eli along with his brother & mom were urgently in need of rescue and a safe place to stay, our Texas rescue partner stepped in quickly to make sure they wouldn’t have a grim fate! Ash and Eli are so very sweet, they love to play together and love to cuddle with their momma. They will melt your heart!!We 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. January 15, 2025, 11:33 pm
