Story
NEWBIE ALERT!! &#226&#156&#168 Meet Teddy! This sweet boy was adopted many years back but sadly his mom now has cancer and can no longer care for him. He’s an adorable 11 year old Shitzu. He’s 19 lbs but chunky and could stand to lose some. He is very sweet, calm and has tons of life left in him. He’s great in the house and with other dogs. He would prefer an older calmer household and someone to cuddle. He is utd, hw neg (tested below detectable levels) and neutered. 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 $195 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 $145 is due at pick up. Wags and Whiskers is an all-volunteer rescue. Please allow us time to respond to all inquires and applications! Thank you!

Story
Meet Poptart 🐾 Poptart is a sweet little Shih Tzu with a steady, easygoing personality. Our trainer describes him as a solid dog—the kind that’s straightforward, willing, and pleasant to work with. He’s crate trained, walks well on a leash, and has a fun quirk: he absolutely loves running on the treadmill and thinks it’s the best thing ever. Poptart would thrive in a calm, laid-back home where he can enjoy a predictable routine, leisurely walks, and some light exercise to keep him happy and balanced. He’s not demanding—just a good little dog looking for a peaceful place to land and a person to call his own. 💛 Adoption fee: $300 This includes his neuter, up-to-date vaccinations, parasite prevention, and microchip. Visit www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com to fill out an application. Transport to Hagerstown, Maryland or Newtown, Pennsylvania available for $165 transport fee plus cost of health certificate.

Story
Bear may be small, but he has a lot to say and even more love to give. He’s a loyal, cuddly lap dog who prefers to be close to his person and isn’t shy about asking for attention. Bear gets along well with other dogs and enjoys being part of the action. With cats, he's ready to just chill and watch the world go by. He believes he runs the living room (and honestly, he might be right), has strong opinions about grooming tools, and will let you know how he feels—but it’s all part of his charm. Bear would do best in a home without small children, where his boundaries can be respected. If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a touch of sass, a lot of personality, and a heart of gold, Bear is ready to start his next chapter with you.

Story
I’m a very shy but lovable baby. Need a home that will give me patience to become as comfortable as I have become with my foster. I’m per pad trained and will go outside when given the chance. I do mistake a rug sometimes though for a pad. I love to snuggle and can become your bestie if given the chance.
