Formed in 2009, Wags & Whiskers Animal Rescue of MN is a volunteer run 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization dedicated to saving the lives of homeless animals, and educating the community on responsible pet ownership. Wags & Whiskers has no facility or shelter. Instead, all our animals are housed in foster homes while they await their forever homes. With this approach, our foster parents become familiar with the personalities of his or her foster dog or cat and use this familiarity to match our animals to appropriate homes.
Wags & Whiskers is dependent on adoption fees to keep operating. And as a nonprofit, we host or sponsor several fundraising events throughout the year.

Wags & Whiskers Animal Rescue of MN (Shakopee) is a 100% volunteer and foster based rescue. Wags brings dogs and puppies up from some partner shelters in the south, and also rescues cats, kittens, dogs and puppies from Minnesota Shelters. Everyone in the organization is deeply commited to providing the best possible outcome for every animal it takes in, regardless of medical needs. No mama is ever left behind if puppies or kittens are rescued and mother is known. I have adopted from Wags and also now volunteer and foster with them.

Wags & Whiskers has a very knowledgable training team to assist with behavior questions. Keeping our pets in their adoptive homes is ALWAYS the number one desired outcome, but if that cannot be, Wags will take the animal back ito foster care for retraining and adoption.

Wags is committd to the care of any animal brought into the rescue. Adoption fees collected from the healthiest pets help to defray costs for the more medical challenged fosters.
