Wagging Tails is an all breed, non-profit rescue that places hundreds of dogs each year. We pride ourselves on our reputation of ongoing support for adopters and their new family members. We are volunteer and donation based- our main goal being to care for and give loving homes to dogs in need. Sandy's first rescue dog, Bonnie, was a cattle dog mix that was transported to her home in the trunk of a car with 8 puppies. She found homes for the puppies and kept Bonnie. Since that day, Sandy has been helping place dogs in loving homes. No Wagging Tail Left Behind came to life when Sandy began taking in six plus dogs a week, mostly from El Centro, to find them homes. With the help of board members Jean Whitney and Laura Morkan, Wagging Tails received a non-profit status on May 12, 2012. Since then, the rescue has grown in size with volunteers who handle paperwork and attend adoption events. We look forward to increasing the number of dogs placed each year, our volunteer staff, and our donations!
Steps to Adopt: 1. Consider your lifestyle and preferences for a dog. 2. Look online at our adoptable dogs on our home page, Adopt-a-Pet, Facebook, or Instagram. 3. Come to an adoption event to meet and learn more about our available dogs. 4. If you find a dog you are interested in, fill out an adoption application (or foster if you’re not ready). 5. Our staff will process your application and see if you are a good fit for that dog. 6. Our staff will talk with you and set an appointment for a home check to make sure your home is ready for a dog. 7. Wagging Tails will ensure that the dog is updated on its shots, spay/neuter, veterinary care, and microchip. 8. We will go over any additional information or paperwork with you. 9. You can now bring home your new family member!
