🐶🐶 STELLA (black & white) and ELSA (all black) are a couple of fun girls looking for a foster or adopter!

These two youngens were found together in Detroit and are playtime besties (likely sisters from different misters)! They are currently being cared for by their lovely and dedicated finder, Kiley, until placement can be found ❤ The girls do not need to be placed together but it sure helps to know they enjoy each other's company and would likely find comfort in having dog pals in their life.

Both are now up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative and scheduled for spay surgeries 🩺🩹on Jan 28th!

Reach out to us if you're interested in fostering or adopting one (or both) of these cuties!

🎉 Cobi was adopted this morning 🎉

After two years 🤯 of love and fun with his foster family, the Hickson’s have sent Cobi off on a new adventure with Bobby. Cobi, known for his reluctance to accept men, had an instant connection with Bobby here and we couldn’t be happier for our big lug ❤️ 🤯

😘 Special thanks to PATTY at Friends of the River Rouge Animal Shelter for her efforts in getting Cobi out of a horrible situation and to JEFF & KRISTY for making room for Cobi in their lives, allowing him time to trust humans again.

Enjoy your awesome new life, Cobi!

🦁 Go Lions 🦁

Look at all them shares on Ruff Life Photography post for our Junior 💙 Hoping that means someone sees our good boy and wants to make Junior a member of their family!

📸 Thank you , Christine!

🏈 Meet Junior: A Detroit Fan Ready for His Forever Home! 🐾

Junior is ready to cheer on the Detroit Lions this weekend, rocking his team spirit in that Honolulu Blue on the turf at Ford Field! Sunday's game is going to be a nail-biter, and Junior is hoping to find a family to root with him—not just for the Lions but for his forever future.

This friendly and playful pup is with Waggin' Tails Rescue and brings so much to the table:
💙 Personality: Affectionate, smart, independent, and great with other dogs (though he prefers calmer canine friends).
💙 Kid Compatibility: He’s done well with kids he’s met but would thrive with older children.
💙 House-trained & Healthy: Vaccinations up to date, neutered, and ready to be your best buddy.

Junior’s story is as inspiring as a fourth-quarter comeback. He was found on the streets of Detroit by a kind-hearted Samaritan who gave him safety and care before he joined Waggin' Tails.

Now, Junior is looking for a family that’ll show him the same love he’s ready to give. Could it be you?

👉 Learn more and apply to adopt Junior today at Waggin' Tails Rescue. Let’s get this MVP off the sidelines and into your home! 🏡🐶

Do y'all remember our DOTTIE BISCOTTI? She said hello to 2025 by tearing her ACL and needs our help! Girl, what a way to start the new year 🫣

❤ You may remember that she got adopted a couple years ago through Waggin' Tails by her foster mom, Stephanie. Steph got Dottie through two patella surgeries successfully while in foster care! Now the lovely and ever sassy, Dottie, is scheduled for surgery to repair that ACL tear on January 10th 🩺✂️

❤️‍🩹Waggin' Tails will be calling in a sizable donation on the day of surgery to help cover some of the $3500 bill, but if you are so inclined to help a dedicated pet parent (who is still fostering our Butters) through this unexpected medical expense it would be most appreciated 🙏

Donations accepted through Dottie's Go Fund Me Page
https://gofund.me/62f8d8b1

Or you can donate directly to Waggin' Tails (please note for Dottie) via https://www.waggintailsdogrescue.org/donate

❤ THANK YOU ❤ Love you, Dottie, girl 😘

2024 was a tough year for us and animal welfare overall, but it was filled with tiny miracles that kept our lil rescue going❤️

✨ 12 amazing adoptions happened! These doggos found great new homes and are thriving because of our dedicated team and your support.
✨ 5 incredible dogs are still chillin’ in foster homes, livin’ their best lives while awaiting someone to pick them to love.
✨ We had the privilege of collaborating with amazing animal welfare organizations to bring 4 free dog vaccine clinics to the residents of Dearborn, Detroit, and Hamtramck, helping literally hundreds of pets stay healthy.
✨ In a moment of pure joy, we helped a sweet, beefy, good boy named Mr. Biggs🐕 in Detroit trade life on a chain for a safe, cozy enclosure, This was part of Dog Aide's Operation Freedom.
✨ With your help, we donated TONS of supplies and funds for critical veterinary care—to struggling pet parents, helping to keep dogs in their homes with the humans who love them.
✨ Partnerships were off the chain this year – local businesses stepped up in a big way, and their generosity kept our mission thriving.

Sure, 2024 tried to knock us down, but thanks to YOU ❤, our amazing community, we’re still standing and heading into our 18th year of making a difference, one waggin’ tail at a time.

Cheers 🥂 to a fetchin' 2025🐕

We know! Y'all wanna ring in the new year with a bang 🥳but fireworks can be a scary for our 4-legged besties. Check out our tips to keep your pupper safe!

✔️Ensure Your Dog Wears a COLLAR with Updated ID TAG:
Make sure your dog’s collar has an ID tag with your current phone number. Many pet stores and big-box retailers have machines that make tags on the spot, so there’s still time to get one today!

✔️Update Your Dog’s MICROCHIP Information:
Double-check that your pet’s microchip details are up to date. This can likely be done online at any time, day or night.

✔️SUPERVISE Your Dog Outdoors:
Never leave your dog outside unattended when fireworks are going off. Fearful dogs can dig under or climb over fences they’d never attempt under normal circumstances. Keep them indoors where they feel safer.

✔️Keep Your Dog ON A LEASH:
If you need to take your dog outside, always use a leash, even if you’re in a fenced yard or familiar area. Fireworks can cause even the most well-trained dogs to bolt in fear.

✔️Check MEDICATION Supplies:
If your dog needs medication to manage anxiety during fireworks, check your supply now. Contact your vet today if you need a refill to ensure you’re prepared.

Help your doggo(s) feel secure and make New Year’s Eve a safe and stress-free experience for everyone🐶💖
