Meet our Adoptable Pups
Nearly 16,500 families have found their forever friends through Wags & Walks, and you can too.
Most of our dogs live in foster homes while they wait to be adopted, which helps us learn their personalities and prepare them for life with their forever families. Some dogs are also available to meet at our adoption centers.

Meet Pepper!
Breed: Chihuahua/Pug Mix
Age: 7 years old
Gender: Female
Weight: 7 lbs
This 7-year-old, 7-lb Chihuahua/Pug mix is a lovable ball of energy. Her previous owner surrendered her to us because Pepper's primary caretaker had moved out of the home and the family could no longer care for her. Now safely in our care, Pepper is thriving in a loving foster home. This goofy girl is the life of the party and charms everyone she meets. She loves to be held and will give as many kisses as you'll allow. This social girl loves going on neighborhood strolls and meeting people and pups when she's out and about. Pepper is fully potty-trained and walks beautifully on a leash. She will also sit for treats and is eager to learn more. She will thrive with loving adopters who will give her plenty of activity and shower her with affection. If you're looking for a fun, spunky best friend to bring you endless entertainment, Pepper could be your girl!
Hello! My name is Dino. I was recently rescued, so the people at Wags are still getting to know me, but here are the basics:
Breed: Mixed Breed
Age: 1 year old
Gender: Male
Weight: 11 lbs
Meet Rosalia!
Breed: Mixed Breed
Age: 8 years old
Gender: Female
Weight: 55 lbs
This 8-year-old, 65-lb gal is a lovable sweetheart. This sweet girl was found as a stray with lacerations across her legs and ears. The shelter staff suspected that she may have been stabbed multiple times, but no one could say for sure what happened to this poor girl. It was clear she needed our help, so we brought her back to our rescue, where she is receiving some much-needed medical care and plenty of love. Despite everything, Rosalia greets everyone she meets with a wagging tail and lots of kisses. She is learning that the world isn't such a scary place in her foster home and is even starting to get playful. This sweet girl didn't seem familiar with toys when she first entered her foster home, but now she is enjoying playtime and is especially interested in tennis balls. Rosalia is working on mastering her household basics and leash manners as she adjusts in her foster home. She will thrive with loving adopters who will advocate for her comfort and give her plenty of cuddles. If you're looking for a sweet, gentle pup to be your new best friend, Rosalia could be your perfect match!
Meet Kirby!
Breed: French Bulldog
Age: 7 years old
Gender: Female
Weight: 20 lbs
This 7-year-old, 20-lb French Bulldog is an affectionate, happy girl. We rescued Kirby from a local shelter, and when she arrived in our care, she was instantly eager to make friends. This social gal loves snuggling with her people and playing with other dogs, especially her foster pup siblings. She likes to run around and play to get her wiggles out before snuggling up on the couch for cuddles. This eager-to-please girl is working on her household basics and walks well on a leash. She will thrive with adopters who are excited to continue to show her what it looks like to be loved and cared for in her forever home. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate best friend, Kirby could be your girl!
Meet Helga!
Breed: English Bulldog
Age: 4 years old
Gender: Female
Weight: 39 lbs
This 4-year-old, 39-lb English Bulldog is a confident, spunky gal who is easy to fall in love with. Helga was surrendered into our care by her former owner. She had been living in a home with over 20 other dogs, and their care had become more than what the owner was able to manage. Since entering a foster home, Helga has been loving living as a solo pup, and she would love to find a forever home where she can be the center of someone’s world.
Helga is polite and well-behaved with people, but she isn’t always aware of her size and weight, so she might not be a match for a home with young children. Helga does have the occasional playful streak and will get brief but mighty zoomies when the mood strikes. But her preferred activity is napping in cozy spots around the house. This smart pup is fully potty-trained, does well in her crate, and walks beautifully on a leash. She would prefer to be the only pet in a forever home with limited stairs. Helga will thrive with adopters who will embrace her mellow, affectionate personality and love her for who she is. If you’re looking for a confident, social pup, Helga could be your girl!
Meet Moxie!
Breed: Mixed Breed
Age: 4 years old
Gender: Female
Weight: 46 lbs
This beautiful 4-year-old, 46-lb mixed-breed gal is gentle, loving, and full of heart. We found Moxie at a crowded shelter over a year ago. She was extremely pregnant and gave birth to her puppies in our founder’s home. When her babies were all adopted, it was finally her turn. This sweet girl has been adopted and returned twice, due to no fault of her own. In her first adoptive home, it became clear that while Moxie loves to play with other dogs, she doesn’t want to share her space with one. She can be slow to open up to new friends, and although her second adopters seemed willing to go at her pace, it soon became clear that wasn’t the case. Unfortunately, Moxie came back to us a second time. Since then, she’s been thriving in her foster homes while waiting patiently for the forever match she deserves.
Moxie is the sweetest, goofiest cuddle bug. She loves curling up on the couch for a snuggle and a snooze, going for walks, playing with her pup friends, and getting plenty of belly rubs. She can be hesitant when meeting new friends, but once she feels safe, her affectionate, social side shines through, and she becomes a loyal, adorable sweetheart. Once you’ve built trust with her, she is eager for affection and loves to give kisses and ask for pets.
This smart girl knows her basics, is eager to please, and always happy to show off for a treat or two. She is fully potty-trained, crate-trained, and walks well on a leash. This well-behaved girl also completed a training program with @rosewoodk9, where she worked on building confidence and refining her commands. Moxie enjoys spending time with other dogs, but would prefer to have pup friends, not roommates. All this sweet girl needs is loving adopters who will give her a little extra time to adjust. If you’re looking for an endlessly loyal, affectionate companion to bring joy and warmth into your life, Moxie might be your girl.
Hello! My name is Triscuit, mom of the Crackers Litter! I was recently rescued, so the people at Wags are still getting to know me, but here are the basics:

Gender: Female

Meet Gertie!
Breed: Mixed Breed
Age: 1 year old
Gender: Female
Weight: 61 lbs
This 1-year-old, 61-lb gal is a sweet, lovable pup. We rescued Gertie from an overcrowded shelter where she met us with a wagging tail and lots of excited but gentle energy. This affectionate girl wants to be your loyal shadow and will happily lie at your feet while you’re making coffee or snuggle up next to you on the couch for a movie. She has plenty of energy for socializing and is happy to get her wiggles out with plenty of playtime. Gertie loves meeting new people and has done well meeting other dogs in her foster home. This smart girl is working on perfecting her household basics and will thrive with structure and guidance as she continues to grow up. If you’re looking for a fun, lovable best friend, Gertie could be your perfect match!
Meet Sweetie! This 3-year-old, 52lb mixed breed girlie truly lives up to her name. With her gentle personality, medium energy level, and affectionate nature, Sweetie is happiest when she's close to her people. Sweetie is an excellent house guest who listens well, follows the rules, and has settled beautifully into her foster home. She loves to cuddle, enjoys spending time with her people, and is especially attached to her foster family. She's also a great listener and is learning that her humans occasionally need a little personal space (she just loves snuggles)! Sweetie is wonderful with visitors and happily greets new people by politely asking for pets. She rarely barks and doesn't rush the door when guests arrive. She's also doing great on leash and enjoys getting out for walks with her people. While Sweetie is comfortable settling in her crate when her foster is home, being left alone is still a work in progress. She can be anxious sometimes when she's home alone, so she'll need a family who is patient and willing to continue helping her feel more comfortable with alone and crate time. Sweetie is heartworm-positive and is currently undergoing treatment, which is fully covered by the 15/10 Foundation, and she's expected to make a full recovery! Sweetie is truly a loving, well-mannered, affectionate girl who just wants to be part of a family. If you're looking for a sweet, cuddly companion who will happily follow you around and be your best little shadow, Sweetie would love to meet you!

Thank you Wags & Walks for bringing so much love into our home. We love everything this organization stands for (from rescuing, to providing medical care, funding treatment, donating supplies, gathering volunteers to transport and foster and then to finally bringing happiness home)-- we are beyond proud to play a small part of this wonderful community!

We cannot thank Wags and Walks enough for bringing Cannoli into our lives. What started as a foster for Lennon from The Beatles litter quickly turned into a foster failure, as we saw how seamlessly Cannoli fit into our family. Wags and Walks made the process easy, which helped confirm that we were making the right decision!
Christina Healey-Robinson

Forever indebted to Wags & Walks for bringing this girl home to us. What started off as a foster, turned into us adopting our fur family member we couldn’t imagine life without. The foster program and adoption program are exceptional and there’s really no other place you need to search. Their work is incredible and inspiring! Could not admire the team behind Wags & Walks more!
