Wags and Whiskers Animal Rescue of MN

Wags & Whiskers Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives and finding forever homes for stray, abandoned and surrendered dogs in high kill shelters. We are a small, volunteer run organization. All of our animals listed are in foster homes waiting to be adopted and because of this, we get to know the animals' personalities very well and use this information to match them to an appropriate home. We do not have a physical shelter. This rescue is not funded by public funds nor does it receive many donations so it is dependent on adoption fees to keep operating. We provide all needed supplies and cover medical costs of the foster while it awaits a forever home.

Meet Jimmy D5918

My foster family has several nicknames for me and they make me smile. I am a happy- go- lucky young fella. Car rides, afternoon naps after my daily walks, and cuddling with those who love me will always put a smile on my face and wags in my tail.    Adventure walks are my favorite because they get to show that I am a good boy and learning manners. Gentle reminders help me be the bestest dog and family member. SIT, STAY, NO, and COME are my homework words and I am a quick learner. I am uncertain of some things so patience helps me feel safe.    Let's talk about naps and  bedtime routine. Snuggling in my kennel helps me feel calm and relaxed. I like to be able to see my family while I spend time in my kennel. I also sleep through the night and am happy in the morning to go on my walk. I am house trained and proud to have wonderful house manners. I’ve made friends with my foster dog friends. They are older than me but I have good boundaries.      My dream family would…    Go on adventure walks in the neighborhood or in the woods.   Allow me time to rest but still be close to my family.    Let me cuddle next to you as we watch a movie together   Embrace my youth and help me learn new things.   Sometimes take me to the pet store and find me yummy treats that help me be strong and healthy.    Has children that are gentle and able to help me learn as we grow together.      While I'm searching for my forever family, I am scheduled to be neutered on March 20th  and after rest and recovery, I will be ready to come join your home shortly thereafter!  

Adoption Process
Our adoption process includes an adoption application. After reviewing your application and contacting the vet and personal references, a meeting is scheduled between the potential adopter and the pet, in the foster's home or a neutral animal friendly place. If there are any resident animals within the home, it is required that they meet at this time. After the meeting, a home visit by one our representatives is REQUIRED prior to finalizing any adoption and we must meet all members of the household where the pet will be living sometime during the adoption process. 6 month post-adoption check in is completed.

Look for other dogs for adoption!
