My personality

My story

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

Looking for a sweet family dog or companion? Darcy is perfect and a favorite foster! She is 6 months and is a female, black Labrador Retriever with the possibility of a little bit of Belgian Malinois shepherd as well. Darcy captured the heart of her foster mom because she was a little shy at first, so her foster mom took extra time sitting with her and letting her realize she was safe. Now, Darcy is a loving, playful pup who gives the best kisses and enjoys a tummy rub. She enjoys toys, playing in a baby pool and frolicking with her sister Uno. Darcy is fine with kids, dogs & a friendly cat. She just needs some extra TLC at first to know she is loved. Darcy and siblings came from a rough situation as a young puppy.

Darcy's 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.
