Adopt a Pet from Mutt Life!𝗔𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗟 𝗜𝗦 𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗪𝗔𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚. 𝗕𝗨𝗧 𝗪𝗛𝗬?Several of us had the chance to 𝗳𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹, and after spending time with her, we keep asking ourselves:𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴? Because 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 is such a 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗴. She’s a big girl with a real presence, and she bonds with her people FAST. After just one night with us, that was it—𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹  had decided we are her people and she wanted to be right by our sides.So let’s stop looking backward about where she was and start looking at 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹’𝘀 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. Look at everything 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 brings to the table:Loving and affectionateFriendly and happyPlayful and smartEager to pleaseHouse trainedGood recallLoves kidsGood with dogs, cats AND horsesReady to be someone’s loyal companionKnows commands: Sit, Down, Shake, Wait, Leave itAlso important: 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 generally does well on a leash passing other dogs, but if a strange dog gets too close, she can occasionally have an outburst of reactivity. She has already had training and her future family will need to continue helping her build confidence and good leash skills.But that is 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹—𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹.𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 doesn’t need a family who wants to take her everywhere. She needs a family who wants to 𝗘𝗡𝗝𝗢𝗬 𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗛𝗘𝗥.Walks. Playtime. Adventures. Relaxing at home. Being your shadow.

Story
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 October 23rd and arrive on October 24th, 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: 10/7/26 Dog Name: King Sex: Male Estimated Breed: Pit Bull Mix Approximate Age: 2 years Approximate Weight: 60-70 lbs Spay/Neuter Status: Neutered   Adoption Fee: $450 Description:  King was found alone after his owner moved and left him behind. This sweet boy is a love bug, and he’s got the sweetest smile. King has manners and listens well, he can’t wait to go on walks with his new family and cuddle up over the winter in WI! He has a gorgeous coat and a tail that forever wags!  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. October 8, 2026, 6:15 pm

Story
Buddy is a 10-year-old, 79lb gentleman who is ready to spend his golden years exactly where he belongs: in a soft bed, surrounded by love, and preferably with a TV playing in the background. This sweet senior is potty trained, non-destructive, and doesn’t need to be crated. He enjoys a nice short walk, but his favorite activities consist of snuggling up with his people and getting belly rubs and neck scratches. He thinks he’s a tiny lap dog and will crawl right into your lap for some cuddles, regardless if he actually fits or not. And, then there are the treats. Buddy fully believes that he is very deserving of some cookies. When he goes outside for a potty break - That deserves a treat! And he may even try to trick you into giving him a second treat. This boy may be a senior but that just means he’s had time to perfect his charm. Buddy does have a prey drive, so he is looking for a home without small dogs or small animals. More than anything, Buddy is looking for a soft place to land where he can enjoy his senior years surrounded by people who love him as much as he deserves. If your idea of the perfect evening involves a cozy bed, a good TV show, and snuggly dog by your side, Buddy might be your guy.

Story
Wally was abandoned in an apartment building in Oklahoma City, where he was found alone and in need of help. Thankfully, he was rescued from the OKC shelter and brought to Milwaukee by a kind-hearted local, all in hopes of finding him the forever home he truly deserves. Wally is a happy, playful, and affectionate boy. According to his DNA he is an American Bully, American Pit Bull Terrier, American Bulldog and Boxer mix and is about 4 ½ years old. He absolutely loves going for walks, playing tug-of-war, chasing after balls, splashing in water, and snuggling up for belly rubs and cuddles. This sweet pup is potty trained, crate trained, knows his name, and responds to basic commands like "sit" and "down." He’s polite with treats, rarely barks, and gets along well with other dogs. However, he’s not a fit for a home with cats. Wally is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to bring joy and love into a new home . If you're looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and playful spirit, Wally would love to meet you!
