Story
Benny is a 2 year old Maltese who has so much love to offer he softly howls when I leave him out of loneliness. He is a breeder release but is making such amazing progress of learning what it’s like to be a dog. He is good with other dogs and learning about toys and bones and walks and enjoying them all! House training is going very well and he tolerates wearing a belly band as a preventative. His adoption fee is $550 thru Tiny Paws Small Dog Rescue in Union Grove. Benny is being fostered in love and kindness and lots of patience for his past in Waukesha by Wendy at 262-720-0474. Email is wbucky31@gmail.com Please reach out with any questions on this precious little dog.

Story
I'm a little bit of a shy guy as I am the product of a puppy mill, and little bit of a barker. I really like do company of my friend Freddie and would probably do great in a home with him or another dog. I am little and cute and ready to move forward with a new family! Keep in mind poodle mixes like me have grooming needs, that was something about my past that was neglected and I would just like you to know Im a little high maintenance that way.All cats and dogs adopted from the Chequamegon Humane Association are spayed or neutered, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, and microchipped. Dogs are tested for heartworm. A minimum adoption fee of $175 is required for adult dogs, puppy adoption fees start $250, and dogs over the age of 10 are $85. Adult cat adoption fees are $50, kittens under one year are $120, and cats over the age of 10 are $35.

Put in your application soon!*** Please help me get out! I am currently in a place where there are lots of unwanted dogs and not all of us here get the chance I might have to leave! But in order to help me out of here to catch the ride to WI on November 22nd and arrive on November 23rd, I need *both* a sponsor, and a WI foster home *or* a WI adopter! I have a place for now, but I can't stay here forever and I am worried. The rescue has put a hold on me to save my spot on the trip up north to WI, but now they need YOUR help to get me there - don't wait!!! Updated: 11/11/24 Dog Name: Bowie Sex: Male Estimated Breed Mix: Maltese Approximate Age: 1-1.5 years Approximate Weight: 12-20 lbs Adoption Fee: $650 Description: Bowie and Brianna were found on the streets alone and scared.

Story
Meet Marty, a complete sweetheart who loves to warm laps and cuddle! Marty is a middle-aged Maltese mix, about 9 lbs. He enjoys spending time outside exploring and playing with both his toys and friend Kaiya, whom he came into rescue with from the same home. If looking for a second dog Kaiya is also available and they do wonderful together, although adopting together is not required. An ideal home would include another dog and a loving family looking for a dog to spoil.

Story
Check out our Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for more pictures & videos of our adoptable dogs!Updated: 10/20/24 Family Name: Harebane House MUST HAVE AN ACTUAL FENCED-IN YARD (not wireless/underground) as she spooks easily!   Meet Twelve! She was dog #12 taken out of a hoarder house in 2020. At that time, she was about 3 years old, and was living in a 800 sq. ft home with 40 other dogs. Ever since we have known her, she has been extremely timid and spooky easily, certainly due to the circumstances she lived in for her first 3 years of life. She would do best in a home with a confident dog who can help to bring her out of her shell. She was foster 'failed' and adopted by Tailwaggers' founder, Dawn Boeselager. Twelve learned her name while she was still a foster, and the name stuck after her adoption (especially since we linked it to Aaron Rodgers being the Packers QB at that time). Dawn passed on October 9th, so her beloved pup needs to find a new home. Over the years there she lived with dozens of other dogs of all sizes being fostered. She is timid with them at first, but will play and open up to them with time. Now she's about 8 years old, housebroken, kennel trained. She needs to be adopted by someone who understands the patience required to work with an insecure dog and who can build up her confidence! She loves to cuddle, sit on her chosen person's lap, and sleeping in a pile of pillows if she can find one. Squeaky toys and balls are some favorites. It will take her some time to warm up to new people, but certainly will with some patience!
