Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

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 & 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.
