Story
Meet Bandit! Nickname: The Frito Bandito Fun Fact: Bandit is a couch potato, but you have to make sure he can't fall off said couch, because he can't see where the edge is very well! Rescue: Albert's Dog Lounge Age: Senior Weight: 11 lbs Health issues: Bandit has dry eye, and needs Optimmune ($54 per tube on petvm.com) His vision is not great. He is also either hard of hearing or completely deaf. Alternatively, he might just be ignoring you. History: Sweet Bandit had an owner, but that person passed away. The neighbor kept Bandit in the barn and fed him once daily for an unspecified amount of time. Foster home: New Glarus, WI Activity level: Low Friendly with: Other dogs, cats, and older, respectful children Sleep style: Bandit doesn't even attempt to sleep anywhere besides a dog bed. No jumping onto furniture or beds for this guy. He doesn't trust his vision. Meals: Stella and Chewy's raw kibble topped with pieces of meat Bark-o-meter: 1/10 Shedding meter: 0/10, but he will need regular grooming. Fashion: a tux with tails and a red bowtie and cummerbund. He's ready for New Year's Eve! Signature color: Crimson pops against my inky black fur Walk out song: "Renaissance" by Eminem Favorite season: Lying in the sun, enjoying the birds in the sky and the wind through his fur Best feature: Silky soft fur Signature Move: Finding a soft bed and taking a nap in it Love Language: Bandit is so happy to ride in the car on a cozy blanket, hang out next to your desk on a comfy dog bed, or chill out in the living room chewing on a bone while you're watching TV. Perfect companion to just about anyone. Neutered Microchipped Working on potty training. Uses belly bands and pee pads while he acclimates.

Hey there! I’m new to Rescue Gang.I just arrived and I'm still getting settled in. The team is taking time to help me feel safe and learn all about my unique quirks and personality.Since Rescue Gang is a foster-based rescue, most of us live in private homes. That means you’ll need an approved application to chat with my foster and learn more about me.If you’re interested, email adopt@rescuegang.org to apply to ask questions. I can’t wait to meet my future family!

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 off of transport! 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 January 9th and arrive on January 10th, 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: 12/1/2025 Dog Name: Scuttle Sex: Male Estimated Breed: Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso Mix Approximate Age: 1 year Approximate Weight: 16 lbs Spay/Neuter Status: Neutered Description: Poor Scuttle was surrendered as the holidays were coming and the family no longer wanted him. Unfortunately, most people get excited about having a puppy but do not commit to owning a dog. He is such a sweet boy. He is a playful pup who likes to run so fast! Scuttle is great with other dogs. We suggest that Scuttle goes to a home with older kids because he might be too high energy for some younger kids. He is young and full of life and love! He is a cutie who definitely will be your best friend!! Adoption Fee: $550We 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 .
