Arrival story: I was down on my luck, saved from a rural shelter, where I was picked up as a stray with an embedded chain around my neck and heartworm positive. While I am healed and living life to the fullest in foster care, my dream is to be a faithful companion to a special someone.
Approximate age / weight:7 years old and 55 lbs
Personality: My favorite things in life are toys and being with people. I am affectionate and very playful! I am also quite clever as crate-training and house-training was a cinch! I have learned good house manners and am not destructive. Well, unless a squeaky toy is involved and then all bets are off! I’ve learned many commands like sit, down, leave it, shake paw, and I’m working on come, stay and sit-up-pretty. I will not lie… my leash skills need work.
Being food-motivate and taking treats gently makes it easy to teach me new things. However, don’t let my size fool you. I am as strong as a dog twice my size. I have an intense prey drive for small creatures such as squirrels, bugs and even toads. Yes, toads! I will need a home without cats. I am working on not being so reactive to those things but this will take time. In the interest of safety, it would be best if my new family/person is strong and has bully breed experience.
I eat my kibble meals from a kong toy because it is more challenging that way. I like other dogs, but I have a rough-house play style that not all dogs can take, so I would do best as an only dog.
I am adora-bull!
Forever Home:I will be a loyal and affectionate companion to my new pet parent! Ideally, this would be someone with bully breed experience and without children, as I can be a bit pushy. I am fun and will entertain you with my antics and expressive face.

$250 for puppies plus a $50 deposit which is returned upon proof of spay/neuter at six months of age.
Our adoption process includes an application, vet reference checks, and a home visit.
We do not have a facility; all of our dogs are fostered in private homes. To view our dogs, please check www.waggintailsdogrescue.org for the dates of our next adoption events. To meet a dog in person, please see our event calendar for the latest information. Arrangements can be made to meet our rescue dogs outside of Saturday adoption events after an approved application is submitted (the application does not imply an obligation by the applicant or by the rescue group).
Please be kind to our volunteers who have made rescue a second job that they do in their spare time after coming home from full-time jobs. E-mail inquiries will be answered much more quickly than phone inquiries; our phone number is a voice mailbox only.
Thank you for your support of rescue and your interest in a rescue dog!
