Dukkha wants to be your bestie 💕

She’s full of personality: silly, snuggly, smart, and very expressive. Dukkha loves stuffy toys (and doesn't destroy them!) and playing fetch. Impressively, she already knows which toys are hers versus which ones belong to her foster parents.

Miss D loves adventures - great in the car and quick to pick up the new skill of leash walking.

Dukkha is 1 yr old and a wee 32lbs - a pocket pitty! She’s so eager to learn, especially if she knows you have her favorite treats! She has met children (including babies!), other dogs (though she’s still learning her manners), and may be okay with cats, but she hasn’t met any yet.

While young and full of puppy-like exuberance, she has a great natural rhythm - after a busy day of play and exploration, Dukkha will happily curl up in your lap and often puts herself to bed around 9 PM.

Dukkha is perfection. Wanna be her devoted human?

💙 Please help us welcome Chase to the Waggin’ Tails fam!

💙 Why the derpy grin? Because Kelly & Eric welcomed him in and are keepin’ him safe off the streets and his tummy full 💕

He’s about 2 - 2 1/2, a total love bug and just learnin’ the ropes in foster care. Chase will be gettin’ a check-up, vaccines and heartworm test June 5th. After that comes the neuter surgery ✂️🩺 No pups on our watch!

❗️Stay tuned for updates as we prep this sweet boy for the adoption roster!

💙 Thank you Kelly & Eric for saving this sweetie

🩷 Dukkha Dandy Dervish (her friends call her 'lil D') is a dainty little pibble mix who is full of personality! She's silly, snuggly, smart, and very expressive. Loves them stuffy toys (and doesn't destroy them) and playing fetch. This good girl is about 1 year old and 32 lbs of adventure lovin' spirit!

🩷 Dukkha already knows which toys are hers to play with. She is great at holding her potty overnight but still working on signals she needs to go during the day. Dukkha is great in the car and quick to pick up the new skill of leash walking.

🩷 She has met children (including babies), other dogs (though she’s still learning her manners), and may be okay with cats, but she hasn’t met any yet. Dukkha is a lap snuggler and often puts herself to bed around 9pm.

🩷 Thank you to Julie and Andrew for making room for Dukkha! 🩷

Stay tuned for updates! Dukkha be adoption roster ready soon.

🐾🎉 HEY, HUMANS! 🎉🐾

It’s National Rescue Dog Day — aka our favorite excuse to shamelessly flood your feed with adorable doggos 🐶✨

At Waggin' Tails, we’ve seen it all: three-legged champs, snack bandits, couch hogs, professional squeaky toy assassins, and one dog who’s convinced the vacuum is his mortal enemy. And you know what? We love them all!

Today’s about them — the scruffy, the floofy, the senior snorers, the skittish drama queens, derpy pibbles with mysterious skin conditions and the wild-eyed pups who finally found a place to call home (and a couch to claim as their throne). 👑💖

Got a rescue? Drop a pic of them living their best post-shelter/rescue life in the comments. Bonus points for derpy snoozes, stolen blanket moments, and epic zoomies 📸🐕‍🦺

🌸🐾 Happy Mother’s Day to All the Amazing Moms Out There!

Today, we want to send extra love to our incredible foster moms — the women who open their hearts and homes to dogs in need, offering belly rubs, bedtime cuddles, and second chances. You are the bridge to new beginnings, and we are grateful for the love you pour into every waggin' tail that crosses your doorstep.

But this day isn’t just for foster moms. It’s for every kind of mom — human moms, dog moms, stepmoms, adoptive moms, soon-to-be moms, moms we've loved and lost, and the women who nurture with their whole hearts whether their babies have two legs or four.

Your kindness, patience, and love make this world softer, safer, and a little more beautiful. 💖

To all of you: thank you for loving, for fostering hope, and for showing us what it means to care unconditionally.

Happy Mother’s Day, from all of us at Waggin' Tails and the pups who are better because of you. 🐶💐

Please welcome Jake to Waggin’ Tails!

His person got a bit in over her head and needed help. That’s when Patty of River Rouge Shelter and April stepped in to help 💕 Lucky for Jake!

Jake is settling in with foster mom, Coyote. Thank you for making room for this lil cutie so he didn’t have to spend time in a shelter 💕

Jake is unsure of things right now but gaining confidence. He’s 9 months old and a wee 8 lbs.

🐶 Stay tuned for updates!
