A rescue made of living rooms
Wags & Whiskers Animal Rescue Inc. is a foster-based rescue operating across Wisconsin. Because our animals live in private foster homes rather than a shelter, every profile is written from what their foster family has actually observed.
Our mission
We are a foster-based animal rescue. Every dog and cat in our care lives with a volunteer family until the right forever home is found.
Why we do not have a shelter
A building full of kennels is expensive to run and hard on animals. Instead, every animal we take in lives with an approved volunteer family. That means individualized care, honest observations about temperament, and a much gentler transition into a permanent home.
It also means our capacity is measured in foster homes, not runs. Every new foster family is one more animal we can say yes to.
How adoptions work here
Visitors apply online without creating an account. Our team reviews each application, checks references, and coordinates a meet-and-greet at a neutral location with the animal's foster family. A final decision is always made by an administrator, never automatically.
Our foster homes are private residences.
We never publish foster addresses or share them publicly. Meet-and-greets take place at parks, veterinary clinics, or other approved community locations.
