Story
It isn’t often that we’re fortunate enough to offer a dog like Midnight for adoption. She is absolutely the sweetest, cutest, most beautiful dog that anyone could ask for! Midnight is a four year old Shih/Tzu-Chihuahua mix (with an adorable underbite). (Actually, she looks a lot like a little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel—but without the congenital defects that often come with a Cavalier.) She has been totally vetted (including heartworm fecal, immunizations, full-screen routine blood panel, and microchip) and she will be spayed shortly (prior to adoption). Midnight came to us after a friend of ours rescued her from a “hoarder” who had twenty-some dogs in her house and was breeding them to sell the puppies. When the hoarder was kicked out of her house, several dogs went to the shelter while a few others (including Midnight) ended up living in the van with this person. Finally the authorities informed her that she had to “get rid of” the dogs in the van too. Some of them ended up going to the shelter, but our friend was able to rescue Midnight for us. Midnight is a little bit shy but she loves people and she is a professional cuddler. She gets along with other dogs (and cats) and she’s housebroken too! What more could you ask for? OK, we’ll be honest now….... Since Midnight is as close to perfect as a dog can get, we are looking for an adopter to match—i.e, someone who is ALSO nearly perfect! An adopter who is home most of the time, works from home, or retired would be the best fit for her, and she would enjoy a safely fenced yard (no inviisible fencing, please). Midnight’s adoption fee is $350—although, to us, she’s priceless! We’re looking for an adopter who will adore this little sweetheart and who will provide everything her heart desires and will give her a loving “forever” home. If you think you would be a good fit for Midnight, please e-mail her foster “mom” (sylvialovesme@gmail.com) and tell her about yourself, your daily schedule, about your other pets and/or members of the family, if you have a fenced yard, where you live, etc. Then, if it appears that you might be a good match for Midnight, we’ll send you an adoption application (and once you have filled it out and returned it to us, we can schedule a meet-and-greet).

Check out our Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for more pictures & videos of our adoptable dogs!To sponsor my trip to WI, go to  www.tailwaggers911.com  for more info! ***I am able to go home to my forever family right from transport!! You get a 5 day Foster-to-Adopt trial with me in your home. Please note that Foster-to-Adopt trials are offered at the rescue's discretion and may be limited or declined in cases of repeated returns or misuse of the program.*** 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 Nov 20th and arrive on Nov 21st, 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: 11/7/26 Dog Name: Sally Sex: Female Estimated Breed: Shih Tzu Mix Approximate Age: 4 years Approximate Weight: 12 lbs Spay/Neuter Status: Spayed Adoption Fee: $550 Description:  Sally and Jack were owner surrenders, their family could not care for them. Unfortunately their coats were in horrible condition, these babies were in pain and so uncomfortable and hadn’t been bathed in many months. After grooming, they are feeling so much better and their precious personalities are shining bright!Sally is so sweet and even though she is missing an eye, that doesn’t slow her down. She currently has a hernia that will be corrected during her spay surgery and she will be ready to find her new family. These two can wait to be WI residents!  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. November 11, 2026, 2:44 am

Story
Oscar is a friendly, two year-old Shih Tzu mix. He’s an owner surrender due to the owner having difficulty handling his puppy energy. He loves to play fetch and gets along well with other dogs. He has no history with cats. He has a tendency to bark at people and other animals, even if he has met them before so I don’t recommend an apartment situation. After he is tired of playing, he loves to sit on a lap. He is kennel trained and sleeps quietly through the night. He’s also used to being fed in a kennel. He is progressing well on walking on a leash without pulling, but still needs more practice. He also is not fully housebroken, but is starting to indicate he has to go outside with a little bark.Apply to adopt at NBSTR.ORG.

Story
🐾 Meet Oscar – A Diamond in the Ruff! 🐾Oscar is a handsome young guy, estimated to be around 1 year old, who arrived at DHS as a severely matted stray. Since then, he has had a much-needed makeover! He's been shaved, but is still being cleaned up, and once his beautiful coat grows back, he'll be ready for another stylish haircut. ✂️❤️ Beyond his good looks, Oscar has an incredibly sweet personality. He's still learning all about the comforts of indoor living, and we suspect he may have never lived in a home before. That means he'll need a patient family willing to help him learn the ropes, including potty training, crate training, leash manners, and all the other things that come with being a well-loved family dog.Oscar may need a little extra time, patience, and guidance, but we promise the rewards will be worth it! Imagine being the family that shows this sweet boy what it means to have a safe, loving home of his very own.If you have a little patience, lots of love, and room in your heart for a deserving pup, Oscar is waiting for his fresh start! 🐶💕I come with 30 days of free post-adoption support through Petcademy.org. This benefit includes free access to Petcademy's team of trainers/behaviorists, as well as access to online materials that will help you settle me into your home. You can text unlimited questions to Petcademy and they'll respond within 24 hours (Monday-Friday)
