Wags, along with two other dogs and eight cats, were all abandoned at the pound with no luck of tracking down an owner. They were transferred to the shelter on July 1 and are settling in nicely. Despite her difficult past, Wags remains an incredibly loving, resilient dog who greets everyone with a wagging tail.
This pup is the ultimate social butterfly and loves interacting and playing with other dogs. Cats don’t seem to bother her either. She also enjoys meeting new people and the feel of a human touch. She can get a little over‑enthusiastic during these encounters, but staff are actively working on her greeting manners, especially helping her understand that jumping on people isn’t acceptable behavior.
Wags sees herself as a lap dog, even though she is a healthy weight of 45 pounds. She is an outdoor dog at heart, but due to the heat she is unable to spend long stretches in the fresh air. When she is out in the fenced‑in area, she’s the first to bark to announce visitors arriving at the shelter.
Wags has been fully vetted with necessary vaccines including Bordetella and Parvo, and will soon receive her rabies shot and be spayed. She tested negative for heartworms and will be starting heartworm medication soon. She has also been flea‑treated and dewormed.
Call the shelter at 309‑852‑0040 or stop in during visiting hours to meet this super friendly gal. She is patiently awaiting her forever home, which she very much deserves after experiencing such an uncertain past. Adoption fee is $100.00.
