Shelter of the Month

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and a dedicated community of dog lovers working to reduce euthanasia in local shelters and raise awareness about rescue dogs as wonderful pets. Wags and Walks focuses on advocating for wrongly stereotyped bully breeds, medical dogs, and mommas + puppies, which are often overlooked and at risk due to overcrowding. We do not choose dogs based on size, age, or breed. Instead, we evaluate each dog individually, considering our capacity to help and their chances of thriving in the right home.
We know that, like wonderful dogs, loving families come in all shapes and sizes. Our goal is to find every pup an adopter whose home, family, and lifestyle are a perfect match for a lifetime of love and happiness. We just celebrated saving 6,000 dogs in six years, and this year, we are on track to save 1,500 dogs, more than ever before. But rescue is only part of the story. Through our Wags for Good initiative, we are tackling the root causes of overpopulation by providing low-cost spay and neuter surgeries, affordable wellness care, and emergency medical grants for dogs whose families are facing crises.

Meet Hazel, an 11-month-old, 37lb mixed-breed pup bursting with energy, personality, and love! This playful and spunky girl is always ready for fun, whether it’s romping with other dogs, playing tug-of-war, or bouncing around the yard. Hazel is a social butterfly who thrives around people and other playful pups, and she’s even done well with cats in her foster home! As a young dog, she’s still working through some typical puppy behaviors like jumping, mouthiness, and leash pulling, but she’s a very smart girl who has already learned some basic commands and is eager to keep learning. Hazel is highly responsive to structure and guidance and wants to please her people. She’s about 95% potty trained, making amazing progress, and she settles nicely in her crate when it’s time to wind down. Beyond her playful side, Hazel is also incredibly affectionate. She loves to cuddle up with her people, soaking in all the love and attention she can get. Hazel would thrive in an active home with adopters ready to continue her training and give her the love she craves!
