America's Favorite Animal Shelter Contest

Waggin Tails Dog Rescue has an outstanding network of volunteers who go above and beyond to save as many dogs as possible. We've taken in all breeds of dogs with varying medical conditions, dispositions and backgrounds and make every effort to rehabilitate them and get them ready for adoption. Waggin Tails prides itself on finding the perfect fit for each dog and our return rate is very low. One of the best aspects of Waggin Tails is that the volunteers work as a team and are very supportive of each other. Everyone pitches in to help where help is needed and the focus is always on what's best for the dogs. Waggin Tails is a fun group and holds many fundraising events throughout the year. We educate the public on spay and neuter, puppy mills, and the importance of preventative health care. Waggin Tails also has a food bank and we give pet food to people who can not afford it and who want to keep their dogs with them. It's a great organization with a big heart.

Dog rescue is their passion. They are a very dedicated group. The group reaffirms there are good people out there that want to help wihtout expecting anything in return, well, except a dog's happiness!

Waggin' Tails truly has the dogs best interests in mind.

All of my three furkids came from Waggin' Tails. They really work hard to find the "perfect match" between rescued dogs and the people who adopt them. They're totally up front about any issues a dog might have (if any - and a lot of their dogs *don't* have "issues"), and always willing to offer advice or point an adopter to resources that can help them help their furkid "be all s/he can be"!

They are a dedicated group of volunteers.

The people are the best. Our 2 adoptee dogs are both from Waggin' Tails - from 2 different "foster moms" but both are well adjusted, happy, wonderful dogs. I feel they wouldn't be that way without their wonderful beginnings with these very, very special foster people.

Tracey Falletich is my favorite reason that Waggin Tails is my favorite animal rescue shelter. She has great empathy for the animals and passion for the cause. The Waggin Tails team has real, demonstrated, love and compassion for these needy animals. Their valuable, but unheralded, service to our community is a shinning example of volunteerism at its finest.

I would like to see waggingtails win because i know from adopting a dog that they make sure they have all the care that they need. They make sure that they go to good homes and travel to far place if need be to adopt a pet to a good owner.

The dedication and hoours of work that these rescuers put in is amazing. I hope they can continue to rescue dogs far into the future.
