Kodiak

Arrival story: Kodiak was saved from an Ohio shelter that was going to gas him to make more room for dogs. The volunteers at the shelter wanted to save him since he is so sweet. He was found as a stray so we don’t have much information about him yet, except that he seemed to get along with the other dogs at the shelter

Approximate age / weight: 3 years old and 70lbs

Personality: Kodiak’s foster mom calls him her little bear shadow because he follows her around the house. He looks just like a little bear, but he seems larger than he really is because he’s so fluffy. We had to shave his coat because he came in so matted down, they couldn't groom him. He seems to be much happier now and he looks pretty darn cute!

Kodiak is playful but calm. He likes to carry a toy around like his little baby. He doesn’t play with it, he just gingerly carries it around with him and looks for it when he can’t find it. He’s been around cats and shows no interest at all.

Forever home: If you are looking for a loving companion who doesn’t have a lot of energy, then this is the guy for you. You can also get a “big” dog in a smaller package. He loves his walks but doesn’t run a lot so he would probably do ok in a condo or apartment situation.

We’re hoping to get more information on how he is with other dogs and children very soon, but we suspect that he’ll be just fine.

Pre-Adoption Application: To be considered for a dog, it is best to submit a pre-adoption application. The Pre-Adoption Application can be downloaded from our website - http://www.waggintailsdogrescue.org/adoptionprocess.html. Just complete the application and email it back to [email protected]

Waggin' Tails Adoption Information: Waggin' Tails Dog Rescue has a standard adoption fee of $175 for adult dogs. Different adoption fees apply for older dogs, small breeds and puppies - $100 for senior dogs (9 years +), $275 for small breed dogs and $200 for puppies plus a $50 deposit which is returned upon proof of spay/neuter at six months of age.
Our adoption process includes an application, vet reference checks, and a home visit.

We do not have a facility; all of our dogs are fostered in private homes. To view our dogs, please check www.waggintailsdogrescue.org for the dates of our next adoption events. To meet a dog in person, please see our event calendar for the latest information. Arrangements can be made to meet our rescue dogs outside of Saturday adoption events after an approved application is submitted (the application does not imply an obligation by the applicant or by the rescue group).

Please be kind to our volunteers who have made rescue a second job that they do in their spare time after coming home from full-time jobs. E-mail inquiries will be answered much more quickly than phone inquiries; our phone number is a voice mailbox only.

Thank you for your support of rescue and your interest in a rescue dog!
