Story
This is Storm the sweetest most loyal companion you’ll have. We got Storm when she was just a few months old from a family member because they were unable to care for her. We unfortunately didn’t have the time we did with our first to fully socialize and train her so she is having a few behavioral issues. She growls any time she’s around new people although she has never lunged or attempted to attack anyone at all, She pulls on the leash, she’s very energetic and requires a lot of exercise and training time. We recently had a baby in January and haven’t had the time to dedicate to her and although it’s with an extremely heavy heart we know she deserves someone who will give her that. Storm turned 3 on July 16, 2024 and I know will be an amazing companion for someone who can take the time for her. We would like to have someone who has experience with the breed because we need to make sure she’ll find her loving forever home.

Story
Saint is up to date and vetted, neutered. He’s a sweet boy that needs more attention that I am able to give at this time. And unfortunately unable to stay in the apartment building we are currently living in. He would do well with single owner or couple. No small pets/animals. Good with dogs. Not so good with strangers so takes a little to warm up. Needs exercise and attention. Does have anxiety and will howl if left alone. Ideally a home with fenced in yard. Experience with the breed or dogs necessary. He has basic training but can benefit from behavioral. New companions must have lifestyle where they are able to dedicate time to him and not left alone for too many hours. He likes to do his own thing but doesn’t like to be left alone. He has the biggest heart, affectionate caring and loves to cuddle once he gains trust.

Story
Adoption donation $499 weight  79 lbs  Age: 1 year as of 3/23/2024              Logan is a friendly and sweet boy who is the quintessential family dog, he adores children and just loves to be with his people. if you sit down, you will likely find his big head nestled on your lap. He loves toys and bones and is a very easy-going boy. Logan is 100% House trained.        Logan definitely needs a yard, this boy loves to be outside! He doesn’t go far, if you call him, he will come right over to you. he is leash trained and if you have a big enough crate, he will go in there for naps.         Logan’s father is a purebred Great Pyrenees and mom is a 35 lb mixed breed. His original owners in Mississippi put two of his sisters in a cardboard box in front of their house with a sign that said “free puppies.” Wags rescued the puppies and found them loving homes. The owners refused to give up Logan and his sister Lila but kept them tied up outdoors. Wags was finally able to  convince them to relinquish the two and Logan and Lila went to the rescue, enjoying freedom for the first time. Lila has just been adopted, now it’s time for Logan to find a loving home of his own.         Logan got along well with most of the dogs at the rescue, although he’s definitely the alpha male and does not like to be challenged by another male. In his foster home in the northeast Logan lived with three females, including a puppy who jumped all over him, and he just wagged his tail. We’ve noticed that he does fine with small and medium dogs but tends to get more alpha with dogs his size. For that reason, we would prefer a home with dogs smaller than him or just a home where he can be the center of attention, he really just loves people so much.        Logan has been neutered and is up-to-date on his vaccines. He is a healthy boy who is ready to make a lucky family a loving companion. All Wags adoption fees include spay/neuter, vaccines, microchip  and transport to the northeast.

They absolutely love the plastic swimming pool at the rescue!     The pups have both had all their vaccines and have been spayed. They are both housebroken although like any rescue they will need some guidance while they adjust to a new home Hayden and Heather are gentle, smart and playful dogs who will make wonderful family members.

Laila

Border Collie Labrador Retriever

Female, Adult
Providence, RI
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Laila was rescued from the streets of Boulder, CO, and became a part of our family at around five years old.In the three years since, she has shown herself to be an outstanding dog, exhibiting a calm nature that resonates with everyone she meets. Laila is lively yet responds well to training, demonstrating good behavior indoors, around food, and with children. However, she encounters difficulties with other dogs. Although she has canine friends and currently lives with another dog, it takes time and training for her to feel at ease sharing her space. When meeting new dogs, Laila often reacts with confusion and protectiveness, which can result in aggressive behavior. There have been a few instances of dog fights involving bites, but thankfully, no serious injuries occurred. So, being highly attentive to this issue coupled with ample space to run freely, and perhaps in a home without other dogs, you can experience Laila and her unique ability to bring calm to the people around her.
