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 Maribell D5919 - ADOPTION BEING FINALIZED

Meet Maribell (known as Mabel), the spirited senior Papillon (approx DOB 9/23/2012), who embarked on a new chapter after finding herself wandering without her humans. Despite her adventures, Mabel has a gentle soul and a resilient spirit. Osteoarthritis may have slowed her down, but with her daily pain medicine, she's back to enjoying the simple pleasures of life—running around the backyard and taking leisurely walks. When Mabel first arrived, her dental health was in dire need of attention. She underwent a full dental procedure, including numerous extractions. The transformation was remarkable, and she now exudes a newfound sense of comfort and well-being. Initially shy, Mabel quickly warms up to those she trusts. Once she does, she becomes a loyal shadow, seeking affection and companionship. She has a quirky habit of reminding you about dinner, even when it's nowhere near mealtime! Mabel's ideal home is one that offers a tranquil environment, free from the commotion of young children or overly playful dogs. Her compatibility with cats remains unknown, but given her gentle nature, she may adapt well with proper introductions. In summary, Mabel is a delightful companion seeking a loving home where she can thrive and share her affectionate nature with her new family.

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.
