Story
Gunner is a 3-month-old Heeler mix. He's very sweet & loves to cuddle! Since heelers are herding dogs he'll need plenty of exercise and like all pups, ongoing training. He LOVES outdoors so housebreaking should be a snap! He's dewormed & utd on age-appropriate vaccines. According to the weight calculator, he'll be about a 50lb adult. He's being fostered with dogs of all sizes as well as cats & is doing well. He'll do great with any child who has respectful dog manners.DATCP#483538

Ok, everyone, I need your help!🙌 I'm 👑Charles III👑, a 2+ year old, 55 lb guy who is just about perfect in every way but one - I'm just not a fan of strangers!! But read on, and I'll tell you why you shouldn't pass me by👀I'm completely house trained, crate trained but trusted loose while my people are away, I love walks (an old back leg injury does not slow me down) once I get comfortable with you, although you'll have to remind me not to bark at passersby, and well behaved on car rides. I only chew on my dog toys (hard toys only please!), have no issues sharing toys, food and treats with humans and doggy friends. And I LOVE my dog friends!! I'm very good at reading what those friends are like and adjusting my play style to what works best for them. I always come running when called, am 100% devoted to my family, and will do anything to please them.So - about this stranger thing. I have a hard time trusting new people at first. I bark and growl and try to scare them away! I find one person right away and bond to them quickly, then need more time to adjust to others in the home. But if you're patient and have a few days (note: this can take up to a week plus!), I'll warm up to you and lavish all my love on you! And I remember every person I've let into my circle - I saw a volunteer I met weeks ago, and treated her like a long lost bestie. Besides needing patience, I also ➡️NEED⬅️ a confident doggy playmate to take the lead that will show me new people are okay. When I see my dog friend getting affection, my craving for love will be overcome and soon I'll be right there asking for pets! Because of my herding tendencies, dog-savvy kids over 10 are best. And I recently visited a house with a cat who's used to dogs, she let me know she wasn't interested and I listened.My foster mom says I'm a 🪄Goldilocks🪄 kind of guy, I need a home that's *just right*. But if you think that's you, get your application in so we can start our happily everDATCP# 483538

Story
Meet Princess Leia - the 1.5-year-old, 25lb little fox with a heart of gold. Coming from a hoarding situation where she never felt safe or truly cared for, Leia has already overcome so much. Now, it's her time to shine, to be spoiled, & to experience the warmth of a loving home.In her foster home, Leia was reserved at first, but came out of her shell very quickly. Leia is the epitome of "chill" & loves to lounge for the majority of the day. Her favorite place to sleep is on top of all of the couch pillows. She has blossomed into a playful pup, eager to explore & play chase with her foster sibs. When she is excited, she wiggles her butt like there is no tomorrow! She is currently being fostered with both dogs & cats & enjoys everyone! Leia has not met many children, so kids will be determined on a case-by-case basis.Leia enjoys meeting new people but needs to move at her own pace. Finding her forever home means finding a family who will be patient & gentle, & who will offer her the time & space she needs to grow & flourish. For the lucky soul who opens their heart to Leia, the reward is immeasurable – a lifetime of love, sweetness, & the quiet resilience of a little fox who has finally found her place to call home.DATCP# 483538

Oh my goodness!!! It's possible you may have not ever seen a cute puppy on the planet. NeverMind his stunning eyes! Rocky is just a little guy, 6 weeks currently but will be 8 weeks before he leaves us ! He's super sociable. Currently he's in a foster home in Memphis Tn with Michele and her family. And LOTS of other dogs of all sizes and ages. His mom is a stunning black lab, Raven. We use a transport company called Rescue Vet Transport to get our pets from Memphis, Tn to the northeast. They travel each weekend, leaving Memphis, Tennessee, Friday mornings around 6 AM. Once they leave Memphis, they start a group chat with the two drivers and everyone who has A Pet on board. They make stuffs along the route as far north as West Greenwich, Rhode Island meeting newly adoptive parents. (transport is an additional $185) once an application has been submitted and approved, Michele would be happy to speak with you about Little Rocky, send you videos, photos answer any questions you might have about him. You will find that our volunteer team is very responsive. Please make sure your vet has permission to speak with us. also, please make sure you're ready to adopt a pet before submitting an adoption application. As always, thank you for adopting your new family member!. We have included the link to our adoption application for your convenience. https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9

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 April 26th and arrive on April 27th, 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: 4/18/2024 Dog Name: Sinatra Sex: Male Estimated Breed Mix: Aussie Mix  Approximate Age: 11 weeks old Approximate Weight: 10-12 lbs. Description: Sinatra is a sweet and active boy! He loves to play with others, he is very smart and sweet! He has gorgeous baby blue eyes that will steal your heart! Adoption Fee: $550.00We 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 by 6 months of age. If you decide to adopt a younger dog than 6 months of age, they will need to be spayed/neutered at one of our preferred clinics. This will be determined by your contract along with the month they should have their surgery. This is included in your adoption fee. 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 PENDING, 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. April 25, 2024, 10:37 pm

Hi there, I'm Rae, the Australian Shepherd mix with a one-of-a-kind coat and a typical puppy personality. I need some help, you see. I am trying to catch a ride to Wisconsin (from Georgia) on 4/26, but i need a FOSTER or an ADOPTER to make the trip. Can you help me? Before you say "yes," I suppose I should tell you a bit about myself! I'm bursting with love and am ready to embark a journey to find my forever family. The shelter isn't quite the right place for a lively pup like me to grow up, so I'm hoping to find a loving FOSTER or ADOPTER who can show me the ropes of puppyhood while giving me plenty of love and care. With my wagging tail and eager spirit, I'm determined to find my way "Homeward Bound" to a place where I'll be cherished and adored. Are you ready to welcome me into your heart and home? Let's start this adventure together!

Many others travel via one of our transport partners to their new forever homes. We use Pet Express Transport (https://petexpresstupelo.wordpress.com) for our Nashville, Knoxville and New England adoptions. For our Midwest adopters, we have our own private transport. Breed selection is done in conjunction with two local vets and is not to be considered a guarantee but rather a well-educated decision from well qualified staff. Due to the extremely high volume of inquiries we receive, we ask that you request, complete, and submit an application before asking additional questions. We try very hard to include all pertinent information in our bios. We are excited to help you find your new family member. However, Woof River is 100% volunteer operated. We want to spend our time saving dogs and assisting those adopters who have taken the time to complete an application. Thank you for understanding. Please LIKE Woof River on Facebook!

Bartleby here! I’m guessed to be about 1 1/2 year old & a border collie mix, & I’ve topped out at about 55lbs. Mom says I’m a very good boy. I sleep quietly through the night, & my manners are impeccable. I get along with my doggy foster siblings - all various sizes & personalities. I don’t live with any cats, but I’ve had interactions with them & am very respectful. I’ll do best in a home with kids over 10 or younger ones who know to be patient with me as I’m a very shy boy until I warm up. Another confident, energetic, & similar-sized dog is mandatory for me - I always look to my foster siblings to tell me what to do in a new situation & they help me feel safe. My new family will need to be patient as I come out of my shell, but the reward is worth the wait. I’m the sweetest boy & love being near my people. I’m looking for a very special family who is willing to go at my pace instead of forcing me to go at theirs. I need a calm home where I can feel safe & continue building my confidence on my time.DATCP# 483538
