Story
Name: Emmy Age: 10 months Breed: sheperd mix Gender: female Weight: 50lbs Good with kids: yes per TX foster Good with dogs: yes Current on vaccinations: yes Fixed: yes Foster location: Wisconsin Rapids Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html Adoption fee: $400 Adoption includes Certified Vet Inspection, and Prior vetting paperwork. Bio: Meet Emmy! She made her way to Wisconsin from Texas, where she was found as a stray. She is a very happy puppy, with a lovable demeanor that makes her happy to be your shadow or partner in anything you do. She's all about being with her people! She was fostered with kids in Texas but due to her size older kids might be best suited for her. She doesn't seem to know how big she is or where her body is going sometimes. So if you are interested in Emmy, be sure you are ready for a BIG dog as she is still growing. She is a very special girl that will need time and patience like most rescued dogs, but she may need a little extra or at least a slight learning curve. Emmy has been diagnosed as deaf and seems to have some vision impairment. She does react to lights and shadows but has the cutest cross eyed gaze there ever once was! She doesn't let either bring her down though, because she is one happy, snuggly pup! She likes dogs, walks, porch swings, toys, pets & snuggles, bubbles and is a huge foodie. She will sit for meal time and tries to be gentle with treats, but is still working on calming her excitement. We look forward to learning more about Emmy, learning from her and being part of her journey to find her happily ever after! Our Pack Animal Rescue, Inc. Is an all foster based rescue. Meet and greets are arranged after an application has been approved. Preapproval applications for future adoption are welcome.December 6, 2024, 2:12 pm

Story
Name: Waverly Age: 3 1/2 Breed: mixed breed - pit/lab Gender: female Weight: 42 lbs Good with kids: not fostered with children Good with dogs: yes! Good with cats: not fostered with kitties in WI but was said to be good with them at her previous foster home Current on vaccinations: Yes Fixed: Yes Foster location: Waupaca, WI Application & Website: https://www.ourpackanimalrescue.com/adoption.html Adoption includes Certified Vet Inspection, and Prior vetting paperwork. Bio: Waverly’s story is a beautiful reminder of why Our Pack Animal Rescue’s motto, “No Mom Left Behind,” means so much. Last summer, her precious puppies made their way to Wisconsin from Alabama (pictured here) but Waverly couldn’t join them just yet. She was heartworm positive and needed time to heal. Through months of treatment, Waverly never gave up, and neither did we. Now, her patience and perseverance have brought her to this moment—healthy, happy, and finally here in Wisconsin! This petite, sweet mama is ready for her next chapter, and as you can see, she couldn’t be more excited to find her forever home. Waverly has waited a long time to feel this kind of love, and we know her perfect family is out there, ready to give her all the happiness she so deserves. Waverly is a good girl in her foster home. She is fostered with other dogs, eats well when fed with them and hasn’t been destructive when out. She’s one polite mama! She’s kenneled when foster mom is gone during the day but at night she prefers to sleep kenneled where she can see you or her favorite is sleeping with you! Unfortunately, Waverly did test heartworm positive again upon arriving to WI so she’s beginning her second round of treatments. At this time, due to her heartworm positive status – Waverly will only be available for adoption through a foster to adopt arrangement.January 18, 2025, 1:41 pm
