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.

Who We Are
Wags and Walks is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dog rescue dedicated to saving at-risk dogs and helping them find loving homes.
Founded in 2011 by Lesley Brog, we partner with overcrowded shelters to rescue dogs in need and place them in foster homes while they wait for adoption. Today, with locations in Los Angeles and Nashville, more than 16,500 dogs have found their forever families through Wags & Walks.
Through our Wags for Good initiative, we also support pets and families in our communities by expanding access to veterinary care, pet food resources, and emergency support programs that help keep dogs healthy and in loving homes.

Meet Rocket!
Breed: Whippet Mix
Age: 9 years old
Gender: Male
Weight: 24 lbs
This 9-year-old, 24-lb pup is a sweet, gentle guy. Rocket was rehomed after the family who had raised him since puppyhood no longer had the time to care for him. His new owner then surrendered him to us because they didn’t feel he was the right fit for their lifestyle. After having his world turned upside down twice, Rocket is just looking for a stable, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years. This sweet boy is always the calm in any storm and is confident and affectionate with those he trusts. He loves to meet new people and will happily ask for pets from friends who approach him gently. He’s even done well meeting kids and other dogs in his foster home. Rocket loves a neighborhood stroll and getting the chance to soak up the sun outside. This smart boy is fully potty-trained and walks beautifully on a leash. Rocket will thrive with loving adopters who will give him lots of affection and the consistency he deserves. If you’re looking for a gentle, well-behaved best friend, Rocket could be your guy!
