Story
I can’t believe I even have to do this but I’m looking for a really good home for my dog. She’s housed trained she doesn’t use the bathroom in the house, she doesn’t chew things only toys she a really good dog. She doesn’t like the rain or wet grass and she loves sleeping in her cage with the door left open and she loves sheets. She’s good with big dogs not little ones and she doesn’t really like cats either. Remy would like to be the center of attention so a house with no little kids is preferred she does good with older kids. My daughter is really scared of all animals we had to rehome my cat and I tried to give it time but she just to scared of her. I would like for Remy to have a home with a backyard so she can run around something I haven’t been able to give her cause we live in an apartment building.

Story
weight 38 lbs age: 8 months as of 12/11/24 adoption donation: $599     Daphne is a super sweet and gentle girl. She loves cuddles and ear scratches. Daphne is shy and a bit insecure as she has had a rough beginning. She is looking for a loving home with another dog (or dogs) to help her become her best self. If you have a great pup and are looking for a second Daphne may be the perfect match for you. She will also need a fenced in yard in order to adjust quickly and fully to her forever home.      Daphne was found with her sister Hayden, emaciated and living in a culvert in a rural and remote part of northern Mississippi in an area known as a dumping ground for dogs. Despite her difficult beginning Daphne is a great dog. She loves other dogs and is great with cats. At the rescue in Mississippi she loved to splash in the plastic swimming pool! She also loves to run in the yard and prance in the leaves. Daphne is currently being fostered in a home with two dogs and a cat in New England and is ready to meet her forever family.      Daphne is fully vaccinated, spayed and micro-chipped. She doesn’t have a drop of aggression and is housebroken, as soon as she gets outside, she gets right down to business!          Daphne will make a wonderful addition to your family. Wags is a licensed 501 C3 where one woman takes care of almost 150 homeless and stray dogs many of them have expensive medical needs.. Adoption fees include transport, vaccinations, microchip, and spay or neuter. For more information on Daphne or any of our rescue dogs please email her foster parent Kerry at KerryAnneMulligan@ymail.com  December 18, 2024, 8:46 pm

Story
    adoption donation : $699 weight 33 lbs  Age: 5 months as of 10/15       The Rosie puppies—Rosie, Roseann and Rosemary— are adorable, friendly and sweet puppies who were left at the end of the Wags driveway in a cardboard box along with a mama cat and her kittens. Sadly in Mississippi this is all too common.       But despite their sad beginning  the Rosies are happy and thriving. They are mixes, but appear to have some English foxhound, and perhaps black mouth cur in them, just perfect for a medium size family dog. They couldn’t be sweeter and are very mellow. They are full of kisses and wiggles and love to romp and play and then snuggle together for a puppy nap.    The  Rosie puppies have had vaccinations, but will be spayed when they are older. Wags will pay for the procedure at one of the clinics that we use in the northeast or reimburse adopters what we pay if they choose to use their own vet. The puppies are doing well house training, but they need a refresher when they adjust to a new home. We are adopting them individuals , while they do adore each other they will adjust apart  in a loving home.        Wags is a struggling 501(c) 3 where one woman in rural Mississippi takes care of about 150 homeless and stray dogs.  Adoption donations are the only source of funding for the rescue. Adoption fee includes the transport from Mississippi, vaccines, microchip and spay and neuter at one of the clinics we use. For more information on adopting any of the Rosies please email mariaeftimiades@yahoo.com    November 8, 2024, 7:52 am
