My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

NEWBIE ALERT!!

Shelby will turn 8 years old on Halloween this year. She’s a shy girl and takes time to warm up. She loves to cuddle and be lazy. She’s a sweet girl who loves hard. She’s so fun. She loves to play with a squeaky toy and throw it around. She will sit, stand, and speak. She loves treats. In the winter she wears her sweaters and pajamas because she gets cold. She does have anxiety and is currently on medication for it. She would do well in a home where people can be there a lot for her to comfort her. She is terrified of loud noises, especially thunderstorms and fireworks. During these times she is comforted by cuddles. She would be best in an older calmer home. She is in a home with a dog but definitely would do best as the only pup. She seems to be okay with cats, but hasn’t lived with one in 4 years. She did fine when she did. She is such a sweet girl and deserves a home who can give her the time and comfort she needs. Sweet Shelby is fully vetted, altered and ready for a home to call her own! 

Our adoptions are NOT on a first come first serve basis and there is no fee to apply! We never state any animal is fully House-trained. New environments, situations, families, routines, ect. can lead to accidents even with the most well trained animals. 

All dogs have a $175 adoption fee which includes vet check, age appropriate shots (atleast 2 sets for puppies), dewormer, heartworm test (if over 6 months), rabies (if atleast 16 weeks) and spay/neuter!

Wags and Whiskers is an all-volunteer rescue. Please allow us time to respond to all inquires and applications! Thank you!

More about this rescue

Wags and Whiskers is a FOSTER based small rescue along the Gulf Coast. We take in dogs from local shelters, strays and from individuals who are in need of help. We can only take in dogs that we have a foster space available for and that space is limited due to the shear number of unwanted dogs in our area. Our primary veterinarian is Dr. David Martin at Parkway Animal Hospital. He oversees all medical treatment. All dogs are current on vaccinations, dewormed, heartworm tested if they are over 6 months of age and are altered before adoption. PARKWAY ANIMAL HOSPITAL DOES NOT HOUSE OUR DOGS ONLY PROVIDE MEDICAL TREATMENT! We have an adoption process that consist of an online application that can be emailed to you, reference check, meet and greet and home visit. Adoptions will not be finalized until all procedures listed have been completed. We do not adopt on a first come first serve basis but to the best home for that particular animal when there are multiple applicants.
