Story
Hello, I'm Bear! I'm a big fan of belly rubs and playing fetch. I've got this goofy side that will keep you laughing. I'm also quite the snuggler, and I'd love nothing more than to curl up next to you after a fun-filled day. I'm an adult, but I've still got plenty of pep in my step. I'm not just a pet, I'm a companion, a friend, a family member. I'm looking for a home where I can share my love and playfulness. If you're looking for a loyal friend who can bring joy and laughter to your life, then I'm your Bear!

Story
Meet Ralph – The Gentle Giant! 🐾💙🐕 Ralph is a stunning 3-year-old Akita mix with a heart full of love. He’s a big, goofy boy who craves attention and cuddles. Despite his size, Ralph is incredibly gentle and enjoys playing tug-of-war 🪁 and being a constant companion. He’s a playful, energetic boy who is always up for fun and snuggles. Unfortunately, Ralph's current family can’t give him the attention and space he deserves. He needs a home with a big yard 🌳🏃‍♂️ where he can run and play freely. Ralph’s ideal family will have the time and patience to continue his training 🐕‍🦺 and provide the structure he needs to thrive. Ralph loves all people, but he’s not good with other animals 🐕❌. He wants to be the king of his castle 🏰, so a single-pet home is ideal. He knows basic commands like Sit, Stay, Down, and Come, and he’s ready to learn more with the right family. His affectionate and playful nature makes him a loving companion for the right home. If you’re looking for a gentle giant with a big heart ❤️, Ralph could be the perfect match for your family!

Story
A24648 Dignity is a tan and white colored, approximately 2-year-old, 63-pound, spayed female, Husky mix. She entered the shelter a stray on 01-01-2025 and was spayed by our medical staff. Dignity is a friendly, timid and shy girl here in the shelter. Our staff describes her as nervous and scared at first. Saying you have to go slow and introduce yourself; she then will come up to be pet and loved on. She does not seem to like the leash and may do better with the harness. She was a little difficult to leash and paused when being walked, needing reassurance. She has had some training and will “sit” upon command. She is reactive to other dogs and a meet and greet is required if there is another dog in the home. She loves treats and is treat motivated, so training may be easy. Dignity needs a home that is willing to work with her training and give her some confidence that she is safe. We don't know her past but she is deserving of a good future.

Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Dinah first joined us at only 1 day old after her mom died giving birth. She was bottle fed in one of our foster homes and found a loving family. Unfortunately, Dinah has become too rough for the small dog in her family so they made the difficult decision to return her to us so she could find a new home. Dinah loves to swim, play fetch and go for walks. She is perfect for someone looking for a dog who likes to go on adventures! Dinah does fine with bigger dogs, she likes to play but respects when they are not interested in her; she prefers to be the queen of the casa so dominant dogs are not a good match. Dinah is kennel trained, house trained and will be the perfect addition to a lucky home! She is 3years old and weighs 55 lbs. We have adoption appointments throughout the week! Turn in an adoption interest form at https://waggingtailsrescue.org/dog-adoption/ to learn more about this dog and schedule a meet and greet! Additionally, we have an adoption event every Saturday from 11-1pm at Petco (645 S Green Valley Parkway) where you can come and visit our adoptable dogs. We hope to hear from you soon! Please send in an application at www.waggingtailsrescue.org
