My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Meet Cora, a gentle soul who is learning, step by step, what it truly means to be a dog. Released from a life as a breeder dog, Cora’s past was defined by confinement and a purpose that brought joy to others but left none for her. Now, she’s experiencing the simple joys of freedom — the feel of grass under her paws, the warmth of the sun on her back, and the kindness of a human touch.

Cora is taking her time adjusting to life beyond the kennel, observing the world with cautious, hopeful eyes. She’s discovering that there’s more to life than she ever knew: soft beds, treats given just because, and the comfort of a safe, loving home. Though she may be shy at first, with patience and love, Cora's true spirit will bloom.

Cora is not fully potty trained and is unfamiliar with the use of stairs, so her future family should be prepared for this learning curve and understand that mistakes will happen.  She right now is carried up and down all stairs because she just doesn't know what to do.   Because she struggles with a leash, a fenced-in yard is a must so she can explore safely at her own pace. Additionally, Cora would thrive best in a home with another dog who can show her what it means to be a beloved companion and help guide her through the process of becoming more comfortable.

If you’re ready to be Cora’s guide in this new chapter of her life and help her find the happiness she so deserves, she’ll return your kindness with quiet moments of trust and the profound gratitude only a heart like hers can offer.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process includes adoption application which can be completed at our website wagsmn.org. Current fees can also be accessed on our website. After reviewing your application, a meeting is scheduled between you and the pet in the foster’s home or a neutral dog friendly place. If there are any resident dogs in your home, it is required that the dogs meet at this time. After the meeting, a home visit is scheduled and, if everything goes well with the visit, the adoption is finalized. A home visit by one of our representatives is required prior to finalizing any adoption, and we must meet all members of the household where the pet will be living sometime during the adoption process. We reserve the right to refuse any applicant for any reason Adoption fee includes: vet exam(s), spay/neuter, de-worming, heartworm test (if 6 months of age or older), vaccinations, microchip, and FIV/FeLv testing (for cats only). Email is the best way to get a fast response (wagswhiskersmn@gmail.com).
