Help Waggin' Tails Dog Rescue From Northville, MI. Make a Deposit in the Dog and Cat Food Collection Bin Located in Our Store
Waggin' Tails Dog Rescue is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit rescue group which was established in January 2007 by a handful of experienced and dedicated animal rescue enthusiasts who have worked in the rescue community for many years. We are volunteers who do this activity in our "spare" time and receive no monetary payment for our activities. Instead, our reward is the knowledge that we have saved a life that otherwise might have been lost.
We do not own a formal shelter. The dogs are kept in a kennel (which we must pay for) until a foster home can be found for them. Needless to say, we are ALWAYS on the lookout for more foster homes so we would never have to utilize a kennel. To find our more, visit our website www.waggintailsdogrescue.org.
