Story
Tiny started out a little timid but has blossomed into a snort snuffelapagus! He was found as a stray in the park, and described as friendly, scared and playful. While with us, he was a bit overwhelmed in the kennels (understandably!) but was moved into an office and has shown himself to be a goofball. He loves to play and will do a not so graceful leap when you toss a toy for him. He's curious and will sniff out a snack wherever you have it, but is a little picky so often spits it out, he just wants to know he CAN have it if he wants it. He will sit but it will take a minute as he's very easily distracted. He's young and will need some training, as he can get a little excited and will jump up enthusiastically, but for that reason we think he'd be best set up for success in a home with older kids. When left alone in the office he is not destructive, and he also walks nicely on a leash (though we can't guarantee it's in a straight line!). Behavioral notes; 5/5 went into my office, he had been in there for a night and didn't know me, but sniffed me and then pounced on the dog bed, and came back up to me wagging his whole body. During the day he was good, he solicited pets with me and I pet him all over without issue though his ears obviously bother him as he yelped when I tried to itch them for him. A female staffer came into my office, and he try to hump her leg. I told him no and he tried to hump her leg from behind (as though I wouldn't see him or something). He didn't really respond to no, but I pushed him off and he tried again a few times. He was determined, but would distract for a minute or two when I called him over with a toy. Volunteer noted 5/3 Tiny Big Brown was easy to leash and remove from his kennel. He looks to be in pretty good shape - healthy weight and a nice coat. He spent most of our outside time sniffing around the yard. I jokingly said to another volunteer that if I didn't know better I'd say he was part bloodhound rather than part shar pei. He wasn't interested in balls, toys, or treats. Each dog handles being in a shelter differently, and I think he is still adjusting. TBB didn't solicit pets from me, but eventually he did sit so I was able to pet him, and he was fine accepting the pets. No issue returning him to kennel.

Story
Mynx is smart, reserved, and well.....snooty. We mean that literally. Look at her big shar pei snoot!! She's a little slow to warm up, so she'll need a few extra minutes to show you how loving she can be. Mynx knows commands, and, I swear, she can read my mind. She seems to pick up on what I want her to do. She was able to conquer ever apparatus in the yard. (A-frame, hoop, teeter- totter, and weave poles) If you have been wanting a psychic sidekick, Mynx is your girl!

Story
Tank & Chrissy are gorgeous, gentle and very sweet purebred shar peis who were given up to the rescue after their owner in rural Mississippi passed away. They are just wonderful dogs, friendly and loving and very bonded. We would love for them to be adopted together. Tank and Chrissy are not siblings, their owner purchased them from a breeder with the intent to breed and then sell puppies. Chrissy had one litter and then her owner passed away. Wag spayed and neutered Tank and Chrissy once they came to the rescue, Wags also paid for necessary eye surgery for both dogs and they have recovered well. Unfortunately, they are both heartworm positive, but have a mild cases and are being treated. They will be two years old this summer. We have decided to list them now to see if we can find a potential adopter who is willing to adopt them together and either wait for them to finish their heartworm treatment or even adopt them and continue the treatment on their own. They really are extremely easy and just the nicest dogs and deserve a loving home of their own.   At the rescue Tank and Chrissy live with other dogs and are friendly to kids and are well socialized. They love to play together, adore toys and bones and are both major snuggle bugs. We have not listed an adoption fee for Tank and Chrissy—their vet bills have been into the thousands between the eye surgery, spay, neuter, and heartworm treatment, and we are not expecting that to be reimbursed but would like to discuss the fee with any potential adopters. Wags is a struggling 501(c) 3  where one woman cares for 150 dogs in a small town in Mississippi.   For more information on Tank & Chrissy please email mariaeftimiades@yahoo.com     May 9, 2024, 10:03 pm

Story
ABOUT DIOR Dior is a 2 year old terrier mix that loves her friends! Dior came to HAP in January, when she was found wandering as a stray in Wilmington. We were able to find her owner, but, sadly, they never came to reclaim her. Dior is confused to be here, but she is always sweet with our staff and volunteers. Dior is not a huge fan of other dogs, which has made the shelter environment extra stressful for her. She has been overlooked by adopters for her kennel presence, often seen barking or jumping. However, once she is out of her kennel and away from all the noise, she melts into an affectionate and goofy girl. Dior recently spent the day outside of the shelter, through HAP's Doggy Day Out program, where her true personality shined! Dior enjoys car rides and sprawling out in the backseat. She LOVED having a fenced yard to run around and get her zoomies out. Whether she is playing tug with you or tossing toys around on her own, she is super playful! After some exercise, she can be found leaning into the nearest person to soak up some love. She made a visit to our friends at Riverfront Pets to pick out a toy and some snacks, before heading back to the shelter. By the end of the day, Dior was snoozing away in her kennel, happy to have had such a fun and relaxing day! While Dior is seeking a home without other pets, she has previously lived with children and did well! She would likely do best with dog-savvy kids, as she has an energetic, silly playstyle! **Dior would need to be the only pet in your home. If you are interested in adopting Dior, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.

Story
ABOUT ZOEY This lady is a very, very sweet girl. Zoey is a 5.5 year old boxer mix that is sure to melt her way into your heart and lap! She came to HAP when her owner could no longer care for her. Understandably, she was really depressed her first few days in the shelter, often found shaking in her kennel. She has since opened up, showing us how affectionate and smart she is. Zoey knows tons of commands, including 'sit', 'sit pretty', 'down', 'stand', and knows gives you both of her paws. She is very laid-back and walks beautifully with a harness. She enjoys her walks and loves to sniff everything! Zoey is friendly with dogs, but a calmer dog that can match her chill energy would be best.
