Story
    adoption donation : $750 weight 84 lbs  Age 2 years           Sweet Lovey was found wandering alone at a truckstop in a rural part of northern Mississippi, likely dumped by his owners. When the Wags director tried to coax him to come to her, she didn’t have to worry, Lovey immediately tried to climb into her truck, his whole body wiggling with excitement.       Despite his sad beginning Lovey is the happiest dog, he is just having a blast playing with the other dogs at Wags and is a mushy, affectionate, loving boy, thus his name, Lovey!       Lovey likes toys and balls and would love to curl up and nap at your feet. He is house trained at Wags but like any rescue may need a refresher course while he adjusts to a new home.      Lovey is neutered and up-to-date on his vaccines and is heartworm negative. He is timid at first, but he warms up quickly, he walks well on a leash indoors, but for some reason outdoors, he is more hesitant to walk on a leash. Ideally, he would love a home with a fenced yard or an adopter who would work with him on leash training.    Lovey is a sweet loving  boy who will make a wonderful family dog.    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 Lovey or any of our many Wags dogs please email mariaeftimiades@yahoo.com    January 28, 2025, 11:56 am

He is smart. active but not wild at all, and eager to please. He likes pup cups, is good in the car, and is doing great with his leash skills. He went on a foster field trip and had a bath and was great for that, ignored the cat he met, and napped while his Field Trip Foster did a little work.

Story
Tippy is looking good in her pink, she is a member of the Mason Hall Gang but she’s only guilty of giving kisses and stealing hearts. She is looking to find a forever home of her own and settle down. She loves to play with toys, her siblings and people. This puppy Is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives. Visit our website to see our weekend Events here! Pups with the designated “meet me” next to their names are in CT and ready to attend adoption events.

The adoption fee is $600 which includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, flea/tick and heartworm preventatives, and the mandatory CT HB 5368 fee. More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds. If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 11 am-1 pm.

Story
Meet our local celebrity, Dora the Explorer! Dora is around 3 years old and she weighs around 58 lbs. Dora was spotted for over 1 year traveling a wide area and numerous concerned citizens became concerned that Dora had lost her way and her family. A group of volunteers made it their mission to rescue Dora. After being caught it was evident that at some point she had a family that loved her because she knew many commands and was proving to be a very intelligent girl. Dora is very playful. She bonds to her humans very quickly and would just love to be a couch potato when she is not out in the yard entertaining herself or having fun playing fetch. Her foster family has several older dogs and Dora seems fine with them, however, Dora would do great as well, as a single dog family because she loves her people! Any questions about her can be answered by her foster mom and we can put you in touch with her. Dora is ready to travel when the perfect home is found for her.
