My personality

My story

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

Cooper! What a big hunk of pure LOVE at 6 months old. He is a solid black Labrador Retriever mix but he has a charming small spot of white on his chest and a tiny bit under his chin. Cooper is affectionate, playful, enjoys playing in water whether it's a baby pool or his water bowl!! He is such a sweet big boy whether he is trying to please you or just enjoying playing with his siblings or my grandkids. He currently weighs about 40lbs and will be similar to his mom when full grown at 55-70lbs. Cooper would make a wonderful companion or family dog.
Cooper will be ready for his forever home by August 1st, once he is completely vetted and altered.

His momma, Dixie, is a 12-month-old, female, Labrador Retriever. Unfortunately, Dixie had very neglectful owners who never cared for her properly, including taking her to a vet. She had a litter of 11 puppies at only 10 months old. After 2 of the puppies died, Dixie started going downhill, suffering from malnutrition, fleas, double ear infections and overall weakness. Fortunately, Wags to Riches Rescue and Rehab was able to take Dixie in, along with her puppies. Half the litter are yellow and half are black, like their Mom and Cooper! Dixie (also available for adoption)!

At wags to riches, we pride ourselves on having the lowest prices of any rescue while doing the most for our dogs. Being a very small organization, we are a 2-woman show, have no overhead, and work hard to give our dogs the most loving home possible. Because we are so small with limited volunteers, we have to use an external transport company (if you don't want to drive to Alabama to get your dog( to transport the dog to Maryland/PA/VA area. He charges $150 per dog. This cost would be in addition to the adoption fee.

More about this rescue

Wags to Riches Rescue & Rehab is a small but dedicated organization who believe that humans can truly be a voice for the voiceless animals who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned. We are not a big organization, we have zero overhead, and our administrative costs are nothing more than an ice-cream cone here and there for the many kids (and adults) who volunteer! That means every dollar goes directly to saving dogs……one dog, one day at a time.
