DAWGZ, TAILZ & WAGZ

Dog rescue in Phoenix, AZ

Dawgz, Tailz & Wagz (DTW) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) volunteer-based animal welfare organization dedicated to providing resources for dogs in need and to support the local animal rescue community. Through a network of caring foster homes, volunteer advocates, veterinarians and trainers, our goal is to ensure that no dog in Maricopa County is left behind by an overburdened system.

We are volunteer based and we do have recurring expenses. Donations are greatly appreciated!

Additional adoption info

Adoption Fees include everything your pup needs to get a perfect start in your Forever Family. All fees go towards fostering and adoption requirements: food, bowls, beds, kennels, collars, leashes, spay/neuter surgery, chip, parvo/distemper, rabies & bordetella vaccines. Any funds that exceed these costs are used for pups with greater medical needs and administration costs such as websites, advertising and training. We depend heavily on our fosters and volunteers who graciously donate their time and homes to our pups.

If your first question before adopting a pup is "How much are your fees?", then please do your research around the cost of bringing a new pup into your family before adopting.
