With Heavy Hearts…
After much thought and reflection, we are saddened to share that Wags & Whiskers Animal Rescue will be closing its doors.
This decision was made only after careful consideration and comes with deep heartbreak and sadness. Since the beginning, we have been honored to care for, protect, and find loving homes for over 12,000+ incredible animals. Every life we’ve touched—and every person who has supported us—has meant the world to us.
To our adopters, fosters, volunteers, donors, and supporters: Thank You! Your kindness, time, and generosity made this mission possible and gave countless animals a second chance.
Our top priority during this transition was ensuring the continued safety and well-being of the animals in our care. We have worked diligently to place each one with another local 501(c)(3) animal rescue, and the rest have found their forever homes.
While this chapter is coming to a close, the impact of this community will live on in every animal saved and every life changed. A special thank you to those who continue to dedicate their lives to saving animals in need. Only you truly understand what it takes behind the scenes—every minute of every day—to do what’s right for these animals.
From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for being part of this journey. ❤️
