Wags and Walks Wags and Walks is a non-profit organization whose primary mission to match people with dogs that need a home and to save dogs lives on death row.

Wags and Walks is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and a dedicated community of dog lovers working to reduce euthanasia in local shelters and increase awareness of rescue dogs being wonderful pets. Many people are looking (or know someone looking) for a new dog. This can be a very time consuming and frustrating process. After filling out an application, we will meet with you to understand your needs and exactly what you are looking for. We then contact and work with our network of rescue organizations, shelters and individuals, until we locate the PERFECT dog for you. You would be shocked to KNOW THAT YOU CAN FIND ANY BREED and ANY AGE DOG at the shelter. People with good intentions buy Saint Bernards, Boxers, German Shepherds, Bulldogs, Cocker Spaniels, Chows, Poodles, Pit Bulls, and Golden Retrievers, etc., but find that they can't take care of them due to life changes such as finances, moving, medical problems, or arrival of a new baby. With our experience and expertise, we are confident that we will be able to match you with your dream dog. We can also provide many helpful resources once you bring your new love home!

Every week, our team visits local shelters to give as many dogs as we can their second chances. Our shelter partners help us every step of the way to get dogs out of the shelter and on their way to a fresh start at our rescue. We are always so excited to meet our new friends and get to know them as we help them find their forever homes.

Meet Stetson, the 6-year-old Boxer abandoned on the side of the 710 Freeway. We came across Stetson at one of our local LA County shelters after he had been picked up by Animal Control officers. The moment we saw him in his kennel, our hearts broke.

Stetsonā€™s body was covered in puncture wounds; he had a deep scar across his neck from what we suspect was an embedded tether, and he had a large open wound on his front leg. We suspect he had been attacked, possibly more than once, and we have no doubt that he had been neglected.

Itā€™s clear that this poor boy hadnā€™t known much kindness in his life, but he greeted us with full-body wiggles and the sweetest kisses. Stetson is one of those dogs whose stories will never be complete. Weā€™ll likely never know the full scope of the heartache he endured, but his resilience is undeniable.

Unfortunately, most shelters donā€™t have the resources to care for dogs like Stetson. Staff and funding are extremely limited, and more dogs come in every day in need of help. So we decided to rescue him.

Stetson is now safely in our care, getting the treatment he needs to heal. Heā€™ll never again know the pain of violence or abandonment. Stetson is on the road to recovery, and weā€™ll be by his side every step of the way.

Rescue comes with its share of challenges. Stretching yourself to make multiple dogs feel loved at once is not one of them.

When rescue dogs leave the shelter for their fresh start at our adoption center, it can be overwhelming for them. Our team is always around to give these pups whatever they need. Whether it's cuddles, belly rubs, reassurance, or space to decompress, we do it all for the dogs.

Visit wagsandwalks.org to meet some pups worth stretching your limits for.

Meet adoptable Pinky! This 3-month-old, 7-lb gal may not have any hair, but she has personality in spades! Pinky was found as a stray in Calexico and is now safely in our care, ready to find the family she was always meant to have. There is truly no dog quite like Pinky. ā 
ā 
She bounces around like a tiny hairless rabbit during her zoomies, covers everyone she meets in kisses, and picks up new things faster than you'd expect from a pup her age. She is confident, s***ky, and steals hearts wherever she goes. When she winds down after a rowdy play session, she loves nothing more than cuddling up close to her. Pinky is working on mastering her puppy basics, such as potty training, crate training, and leash manners, and with her quick mind, she is sure to catch on fast. Plus, has a dog ever looked better in a sweater?ā 
ā 
Pā inky would thrive with someone who can channel her smarts and give her all the warmth and snuggles she craves. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind puppy who will make you smile every single day, Pinky is ready to change your life!ā

After 8 years of neglect, adoptable Midge finally feels safe. Now all she needs is a loving forever family.

This 29-lb mixed breed gal was found collapsed in the street, so emaciated she couldnā€™t even stand. It appeared she had been bred multiple times in her life, and once her body could give no more, she was abandoned. An animal control officer found her and cared for her, helping her begin her recovery before she eventually made her way to us.

Despite everything sheā€™s been through, Midge is an incredibly loving girl who simply wants to be close to her people. She has the softest, most soulful eyes and a way of looking at you that feels like pure love. She enjoys leisurely walks where she can take in the world around her and is great on leash. Midge is close to mastering potty training and does great in her crate. She has a medium energy level with occasional bursts of playful s***k as she continues to regain her strength and confidence.

She will thrive in a safe home that can continue supporting her as she grows stronger and enjoys the life sheā€™s always deserved. If you're looking for a gentle, devoted companion with so much affection to give, Midge might be your perfect match.

After giving birth to two beautiful puppies, adoptable Gumball is finally relaxing in style in her foster home.

This 1-year-old, 50-lb mixed-breed gal is a smart, affectionate pup. When we rescued Gumball from an overcrowded shelter, she was pregnant and gave birth shortly after arriving at our rescue. Both of her puppies have since been adopted, and now, it's Gumball's turn to find her happily ever after.

This adorable girl loves people and gets the wiggles every time she meets someone new. Gumball enjoys sunbathing, going for walks, and snuggling on the couch with her people. This smart girl is working to master her basics and learning quickly with the help of some delicious treats. She is perfecting her leash manners and already knows several commands.

This sweet mama will thrive in a forever home where she can continue learning with adopters who will give her all the love she deserves. If youā€™re looking for an affectionate, wiggly best friend, Gumball could be your girl!
