Adoption Fee: $650We 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.

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 .

Story
Meet Pepito 🐾 Pepito is a 10-month-old, 25-lb Mini Aussie mix with a playful heart and an eagerness to learn. Rescued from a rural shelter, this sweet boy can be a little shy when he first meets new people—but don’t let that fool you. Give him a little time and reassurance, and Pepito quickly blossoms into a happy, affectionate companion. Once he feels comfortable, Pepito’s fun-loving side shines through! He absolutely loves playing with his doggie friends and would thrive in a home with another friendly pup or regular playtime. His size makes him perfect for cuddles, adventures, and everything in between. Pepito is looking for a patient, loving home that will help him continue building confidence and show him how wonderful life can be. In return, you’ll get a loyal, playful best friend who’s ready to grow up by your side. Pepito is located in Texas. His adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state with transport and includes current shots, microchip and neuter.
