Everyone at Camp Waggin' Tails is devoted to rescue.  We advocate
adopting an adult dog or cat whenever possible!! 
While we support good breeders and breeding practices,
there are also many times an adult pet is a more
practical or sensible choice than buying a puppy or
kitten.  So please consider an adult pet the next time
you want to add a new "family member" to your
household!

We recommend these rescues and shelters as groups we
have worked with and trust:

PUPPIES & KITTENS:

If you do want a puppy or kitten only, please
understand that petstores sell animals sold by
puppymills and brokers ONLY! SO BUY FROM A GOOD
BREEDER!!! Good breeders do NOT want their pets sold
thru petstores -- good breeders want you to meet the
parents, the siblings, see how their puppies and
kittens were raised.  They want to meet YOU, to be
sure YOU are a good home.  Good breeders will give you
a contract and will help you with any issues that
arise.  You can find a good breeder by starting here:

Or search online for the "parent club" of the breed
you have in mind!!
