Story
Meet Bear – 12 Pounds of Pure Sass in a Fur Coat! Looking for a pint-sized tyrant with a heart of gold and the vocal cords of a banshee? Meet Bear, a one-person dog with big opinions and an even bigger attitude. Bear isn’t just a dog—he’s a lap-activated siren. If he’s not in your lap, he will let the heavens know. And don’t let his size fool you—Bear firmly believes he’s a Great Dane trapped in a shih tzu’s body and will take on dogs 10 times his size with the confidence of a canine gladiator. Warning labels include: Will bark until the spirits answer back Thinks scissors are weapons of mass destruction Believes he is the emperor of the living room (and he is right) Doesn’t like being corrected. He will file a complaint (loudly). But if you’re the chosen one—his person—you’ll have a fiercely loyal, hilariously dramatic, and ridiculously cuddly companion for life. If you're into tiny tyrants with a Napoleon complex and a heart of (somewhat prickly) gold, Bear is your guy. Est DOB: Oct 2024 * Est weight: 12#December 3, 2025, 11:54 pm

Story
Bishop looks like he’s been personally offended by every major event of the last 20 years… but don’t be fooled. Behind that legendary resting b** face** lives a marshmallow with legs. This 8-year-old Shih Tzu–Terrier mix has an underbite adorable enough to stop traffic and a personality that’s pure sugar. He’s low-key, cuddly, polite in the house, and gets along great with other dogs. Basically, he’s the perfect little companion wrapped in a face that says, “I’m not mad… this is just my default setting.” If you want a loyal buddy who looks grumpy but loves fiercely, Bishop is ready to pack his tiny emotional-support suitcase and come home.

UPDATE!!&#226&#156&#168 Meet Kris. This dude was saved from a local overcrowded shelter. He’s an adorable Shihpoo. He’s 4 years old and 10 lbs. He’s getting settled into foster care and doing wonderful. He’s great with other dogs and loves all people. He is utd, hw neg (tested below detectable levels) and will be neutered soon.  Our adoptions are NOT on a first come first serve basis and there is no fee to apply! We never state any animal is fully House-trained. New environments, situations, families, routines, ect. can lead to accidents even with the most well trained animals.  All dogs have a $175 adoption fee which includes vet check, age appropriate shots (atleast 2 sets for puppies), dewormer, heartworm test (if over 6 months), rabies (if atleast 16 weeks) and spay/neuter! Puppies will be altered before adoption. All rescues and shelters practice pediatric spay and neuter. This is essential in our rescue efforts and it is a policy that we will stick by. All dogs over 8 weeks and 2 pounds will be altered before adoption. There are no exceptions to this rule on all healthy and adoptable dogs. We have researched and discussed in depth with multiple vets everything on pediatric spay and neuter and from a rescue stand point it must be done. Please do not ask for an extension on spay and neutering, it will NOT be granted on a healthy puppy!  Puppies/Dogs that are not available for adoption due to vetting not being complete can be reserved with an approved application and a non refundable $50 deposit. Deposits can ONLY be submitted once the rescue has been in contact on your approval and it has been requested through Wags and Whiskers. This deposit is applied to your adoption fee and the remaining $125 is due at pick up. Wags and Whiskers is an all-volunteer rescue. Please allow us time to respond to all inquires and applications!
