Story
Meet Cotton Candy! Meet the sweetest, funniest, goofiest boy around. Cotton is a little over a year old and full of Aussie energy. Cotton is looking for a family that has a great sense of humor and an understanding of the needs of this fun breed.Cotton is a double merle as is evident by his fluffy, white coat. It also can impact vision and hearing. In Cotton’s case he is completely deaf but does have some vision- mainly shadows. But this has ZERO effect on this boy and the wonderful life he will live!Cotton loves playing with other dogs and is generally fantastic with them- he is still a young, male Aussie that can’t always read other dog’s signals. Occasionally, he irks his companions but he’s a quick study and rarely repeats a misstep. He has been as respectful as he’s able to with the resident cats. Cotton loves all humans he meets- big and small!Cotton is a good boy in his crate and has (knocks on wood) figured out house training like a champ. Cotton loves to go for runs with his foster dad and is great at it. He’d be a wonderful training companion. Cotton is an active boy and needs to keep his brain and body busy. He’s smart and willing. Training him is a joy!Cotton is looking for a family that will encourage, train and help him continue to live a wonderfully full life. Herding dog knowledge is helpful but not necessary if you are willing and able to provide him the stimulation he needs. He does need another, welcoming dog in his new home. The give him a familiar, easy way to learn his new environment.Cotton will be endless laughs and the occasional head shake for his new family. They will truly be the lucky ones!So cute! Super cute!Cotton has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on his vaccinations. He has also tested negative for heartworm disease. His adoption fee is $450.00 plus sales tax. Please submit an adoption application if you have questions about Cotton or would like to meet him.

Story
Ari is very sweet, funny and energetic. She is incredibly enthusiastic and loves her family and all other dogs a little too much at times. She is good about going outside to use the bathroom. Her behavior can be difficult when she is not getting the attention she needs. She is very food motivated. Her excitement can make her difficult around kids , but she can learn easily .

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Sky (who we call Mango because she is super sweet) is a tiny (15 lbs) Australian Shepherd. Sky is a breeder-release mama who spent her whole life until she was rescued raising puppies and living in a small kennel. She has spent the last two months learning how to be a pet dog and is loving her new life. She was not used to ever being pet or carried, so is still hand-shy when you reach down, but she LOVES attention and loves to cuddle. She is smart and curious, and she picks things up quickly. She is playful and happy, although understandably nervous of new things. She is learning basic obedience, like sitting for a treat and how to walk on a leash. Sky is crate trained and crated when noone is home, but barks at first when you leave (she stops pretty quickly, but may not work out great in a home with shared walls). She gets very, very excited when you come home. She is pretty housebroken on a schedule, but does not yet ask to go out. She will probably have a few accidents at first, but she doesn't have accidents overnight  and does well during the day if you take her out every few hours. She loves toys and loves running around outside, although is very much a velcro dog and stays right by your side--inside and out. She is good with other dogs and cats. Probably not a good fit for little kids as they'd make her nervous but would be fine with older respectable kids who understand she will need time to come out of her shell. She is a great balance of playful lapdog--would be a fantastic companion to someone who is retired or works from home.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Interested in adopting this lovable animal? Please go to our website www.wagsmn.org and fill out an Adoption Application.  Once the application is processed, a Wags representative will contact you, answer any questions you may have, and set up a time/location for a meet and greet!  A home visit is required prior to adoption.  Thank you for choosing to adopt! Breed and temperament determination:  Wags & Whiskers Animal Rescue attempts to determine breed and temperament using a combination of looks, information provided to us at intake, and our experience with the animal while in our Rescue.  We do not guarantee this determination.

Story
Nebula, a truly beautiful dog. While her past holds some hardship – she was found living on the streets with her seven puppies – her spirit shines through. Nebula is a sweet and beautiful girl, possessing a gentle nature that will blossom with the right amount of patience and understanding. Nebula's intelligence is evident in her quick grasp of commands. She's already house-trained and crate-trained, demonstrating a willingness to learn and adapt. She enjoys walks immensely, exhibiting a calm and easy-going temperament. What Nebula truly desires is a loving home where she can finally feel safe and secure. While her street life has made her initially cautious around new people, once she builds trust, her playful puppy-like energy resurfaces. It's a beautiful transformation to witness. We believe Nebula would thrive in a quiet and patient home, ideally with someone experienced in working with dogs who have experienced trauma. With the right care, she'll become the most loyal and loving companion imaginable. If you're interested in learning more about Nebula and potentially offering her a loving forever home, please don't hesitate to contact us. $200 In State Adoption Fee (in Texas) $400 Out of State Fee (includes Transportation to your area) $50 Temporary fuel surcharge.

Story
Meet Meeka’s Pups! Our story began in the most dramatic way—our mom, Meeka, arrived at the rescue in active labor with us! Meeka is a beautiful Lab/Australian Shepherd mix, and she brought nine of us into the world, each with our own unique look. Some of us have long legs, while others are low riders with long bodies and short legs. Our coats come in all different colors and textures, making us a truly one-of-a-kind litter! We are adventurous little explorers who love zooming around the yard, collecting sticks, and pouncing on our siblings. Toys are our absolute favorite—whether they squeak, bounce, or are extra fluffy, we love them all! After all the fun, nothing beats curling up in a warm lap for some snuggles. If you're looking for a playful, adventurous, and affectionate companion, one of us might be the perfect match for you! Freckles looks like he's gonna be a lowrider. Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
