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 Yogi D5898

Hey there! My name is Yogi aka Yogi Bear, Yogi Butt, Yogiiieeee....depends who is calling my name.. I am a young pup who was born January 30, 2024 and came into rescue with my mama and my siblings. Since moving on from my original family, I now live in my foster home with two other dogs (one big, one small like me), a couple of cats and some human kids. Basically, I have plenty of company which is something that I would love to have in my future forever home. I can be a little hesitant of bigger dogs when I first meet them, and will give them space until they give me the okay to play. But if the dog is willing to play with me, then sign me up! The cats in the house don't seem to mind me (I hear thats a good thing?!?!) but I will once in a while chase them for fun, never to try to hurt them of course. The human kids are older and have experience with young puppies so they don't mind when I confuse their hand for a chew toy (forgive me, I have puppy teeth!). I keep hearing my foster mom tell others that I am a pretty easy pup to have around...I do a great job balancing out my energetic side and my calm side. Now that the weather is getting nicer, I often to get to accompany my humans to their sporting events in which I get to meet new people who are always willing to give me pets, and I soak up every moment of attention! I have learned sit, shake and lay down and walk pretty well on my leash. I also know to go to the door when I need to do my business, but once outside can get distracted easily by all the smells so may not always use outside for its intended purpose (again, I'm still young, so will have accidents). We are working on the crate training and although I am not a big fan of it, you can find me randomly taking a nap in it during the day (we are working on sleeping in it during the night but...its a work in progress...)       So yeah, I am a puppy. I have alot to learn. But, I know that I will make a great addition to a family that is willing to help me learn all those new things! Could that be you??          Sincerely,              Yogi 

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!
