Wags 2 Wishes Animal Rescue - Plainfield Pet Shelter

Wags 2 Wishes Animal Rescue

Wags 2 Wishes is a licensed , 501(C)3 Not for profit ALL BREED Animal Rescue that started in 2013. Located in Plainfield Illinois our mission is to rescue abused, sick, abandoned and forgotten animals facing euthanasia due to over crowding or being too medically intense for the current facility/owner and provide a loving and secure transition into our rescue program. While our medical and neglect cases enter our foster home program, many of the animals we take in can enter our Rescue Facility and find their loving forever home in just a short time. It is said you can't save them all, but that doesn't mean we aren't going to try! Our hearts are MUCH bigger than our bank account! At Wags 2 Wishes we pride ourselves on taking in some of the worst medically intense or neglect cases most have seen.

Adoption Process

1.) APPLY ONLINE TO ADOPT. You can do so from your home or you are welcome to come to the W2W Rescue Center and apply at our Adoption Station located at the W2W Rescue Center. Adopters MUST be 21 years old. (ALL potential adopters are encouraged to come to the center to meet the dog you are applying for - we DO NOT process any application until you physically come to the Rescue Center).​2.) We REQUIRE you to provide PROOF and a vet reference that ALL current / past pets have been kept up to date with routine vet care/medical. Wags 2 Wishes does require that the following is not ONLY up to date but has routinely been done through the years you have had your pet. (keep in mind some dogs may require previous pet OR breed experience) - Spayed or Neutered (we will NOT adopt into homes that current animals are not spayed/neutered), Rabies, DHLPP, Bordetella (optional but the risk for kennel cough is there), Heart worm testing & Heart worm preventative 3.) If you do not *own* your home, you must provide your landlord / association contact info on the application AND a copy of your lease that outlines the rules for dog ownership in your residence. Large breed dogs will not be adopted into apartment settings or into a situation where there are breed/ size restrictions. 4.) ALL family members living in the home must meet the potential adopted dog and "be on board to adopt". We will NOT adopt until ALL have met the dog and in the meantime some other family will have an opportunity to adopt that dog. 5.) We do NOT arrange dog meet and greets until we can verify your current pets are up to date / spayed or neutered. This is done by appointment ONLY! 6.) Be prepared for an in home visit. Wags 2 Wishes will at their discretion require an in home visit especially when a vet reference is not provided. MOST large breed dogs will require a fully fenced yard. 7.) APARTMENT - CONDO - TOWN HOUSE POLICY. 8.) How you treat us says A LOT about how you will treat the dog you are applying for. If you think our adoption process is too intense and get annoyed at the time or paper work involved then you obviously do not understand the rescue work we do and the dedication our volunteers have for these rescued dogs. Being rude to us and the process we have set in place for the SAFETY of our dogs is not the way to go if you would like to ADOPT. W2W reserves the right to deny any applicant.
