Oshie’s Tail Wagon Rescue & Transport is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, foster-based rescue focused on “urgent” abandoned & neglected dogs about to be destroyed in kill-shelters. We work at the institutional level through our partnerships with municipal shelters, rescue organizations, etc. We are not breed, gender, or age specific. Our pups tend to be the overlooked, neglected, and abandoned pups in the shelter with hours or minutes left to live before euthanasia. We are 100% volunteer (no salaries or compensations). We do not operate a central kennel facility. All our pups are fostered by volunteers at home which allows us to socialize and get to know them as best we can!
Our standard adoption process is as follows and generally proceeds in this sequence: Application (online) received & reviewed by us; Meet n’ Greet (MnG) (typ. neutral, public location); Mandatory post-MnG wait period (24-hour minimum); Applicant declares to us wish to proceed with adoption; Reference checks (veterinary & personal); Home visit; Contract review & signing; Delivery
