Wags and Whiskers Animal Rescue of MN

Wags & Whiskers Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives and finding forever homes for stray, abandoned and surrendered dogs in high kill shelters. We are a small, volunteer run organization. All of our animals listed are in foster homes waiting to be adopted and because of this, we get to know the animals' personalities very well and use this information to match them to an appropriate home. We do not have a physical shelter. This rescue is not funded by public funds nor does it receive many donations so it is dependent on adoption fees to keep operating. We provide all needed supplies and cover medical costs of the foster while it awaits a forever home.

Meet Gigi D6051

Meet Gigi – A Resilient Soul with a Heart Full of Love Some dogs have a story that tugs at your heart—and Gigi’s is one of them. This 10-year-old beauty was found during a snowstorm, abandoned and alone in an impounded car. No one came forward to claim her, but that heartbreaking beginning led her to a second chance—one she's grabbing onto with all the love she has left to give. When Gigi was first rescued, she was a hot mess (scroll through her photos and you’ll see what we mean!). Matted fur, neglected teeth, and a spirit in need of care. But a fresh haircut, some dental work, and a whole lot of love later, Gigi has officially had her glow-up—and she’s never looked back. Life hasn’t been easy for this sweet senior. Gigi recently suffered a small stroke, but in true survivor fashion, she bounced back like a champ. The only lasting sign is a slight head tilt—which honestly just makes her even more endearing. It’s her little reminder to the world: “I’ve been through some stuff, but I’m still standing.” Gigi is deaf, but don’t let that fool you—she’s incredibly tuned in to the people she loves. She’s gentle, affectionate, and loves being near her humans. She’s partially potty trained and improving every day with a bit of guidance and consistency. She does bark when left alone, so a home without shared walls is ideal for this chatty lady. She’d also love a fenced-in yard to safely explore and a furry companion to show her the ropes and keep her company when her people are away. Gigi may be a senior, but her heart is young. She’s ready to trade the chaos of her past for the comfort of a loving home, warm blankets, belly rubs, and all the cozy naps she can handle. If you’re someone who believes in second chances and sees the beauty in a dog who’s weathered life’s storms, Gigi is waiting for you. Let her golden years be the best ones yet—you’ll never regret it.

Adoption Process
Our adoption process includes an adoption application. After reviewing your application and contacting the vet and personal references, a meeting is scheduled between the potential adopter and the pet, in the foster's home or a neutral animal friendly place. If there are any resident animals within the home, it is required that they meet at this time. After the meeting, a home visit by one our representatives is REQUIRED prior to finalizing any adoption and we must meet all members of the household where the pet will be living sometime during the adoption process. 6 month post-adoption check in is completed.
