3. Pebbles
Young (5 months 28 days) · Female · Boxer / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 77 mi from Gulfport






Meet Pebbles, a three-legged superstar with a heart full of love and a whole lot of life left to live! This 6-month-old Boxer/Pit mix has already overcome more than any puppy should have to, but you would never know it from her happy-go-lucky personality.
Read more about Pebbles
We believe Pebbles was hit by a car before she came into our care. She had a severe fracture near her elbow that couldn't be repaired, so amputation was necessary. She also had an old jaw fracture that has healed nicely on its own. Now that she's no longer dealing with a painful leg, Pebbles is feeling fantastic! She runs, plays, and gets around just fine with no mobility issues. Three legs certainly haven't slowed this girl down!
Pebbles is a smart cookie who already knows how to sit and is eager to keep learning. She loves other dogs and does well with cats and kids, too. She's kennel trained and leash trained, and she's the kind of girl who wants to stick close to her people rather than run off on her own. Wherever her favorite humans go, Pebbles wants to be part of the adventure!
Pebbles is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative, and on prevention. Her adoption fee is $200.
This special girl has already shown just how resilient she is. Now she deserves a family who will see past her missing leg and recognize the wonderful, playful, loving puppy she is. If you're looking for a loyal companion who is ready to run, play, learn, and love, Pebbles is waiting to meet you!
If you are interested in adopting, please go to straylovefoundation.org and fill out an adoption application.

6. Raggedy Ann aka Annie
Puppy (4 years 4 months) · Female · Black Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 53 mi from Gulfport




EMERGENCY INTAKE UPDATE!!!
Meet Raggedy Ann, aka “Annie.” ❤️
Annie saw our vet yesterday, and unfortunately, this sweet baby has a long road to recovery ahead of her.
She is suffering from hereditary demodectic mange, fungal and bacterial skin infections, and much of her little body is essentially one large, oozing scab. She is also emaciated and full of parasites.
And yet, through all of that pain and discomfort, Annie is one of the sweetest, most grateful girls.
Read more about Raggedy Ann aka Annie
She is only around 4 months old, which means she has likely spent most—if not all—of her very short life living in this terrible condition. Despite everything she has endured, she is so appreciative of every gentle touch, every meal, and every bit of love she receives. ❤️
Annie is now safely settled into foster care, where she is finally receiving the medical treatment, nutrition, comfort, and love she desperately needs. She has a long journey ahead, but we made her a promise:
It’s ALL up from here, sweet girl. You will never have to live like this again. ❤️
Her care will be extensive, and we desperately need help covering her medical expenses. If you’re able to donate—even a few dollars—every single contribution adds up and helps us continue saying YES to animals like Annie when they need us most.
PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING TOWARD ANNIE’S CARE!

7. Beau
Young (1 year) · Male · Hound (short coat) · 77 mi from Gulfport





Meet Beau-Beau is a lively, full‑blooded hound with a big personality packed into his 33-pound frame. At just one year old, he’s energetic, curious, and always ready for his next adventure. He’s house-trained, knows how to sit for treats, and enjoys playing fetch, even if he loses interest once he’s had his fun. He doesn’t have a favorite toy yet — he’s far more interested in exploring the world around him.
Beau walks well on a leash but tends to pull when he catches an exciting scent, which is no surprise for a young hound who’s always on the hunt. He loves to run like the wind, play with other dogs, and be part of an active environment. He’s kid-friendly and social, though his experience with cats is still unknown.
This busy boy would thrive with a family who appreciates the hound temperament — spirited, affectionate, and endlessly curious. Beau is ready to bring joy, energy, and plenty of love to a home that can keep up with his adventurous nature.
If you are interested in adopting, please go to straylovefoundation.org and fill out an adoption application. Each of our rescues will be COMPLETELY vetted and/or updated, which includes a heartworm test, worming, spay/neutered, vaccines, and micro-chipping.

This little girl has LOADS of puppy energy and plays relentlessly with her German Shepherd foster brother. She's very much a puppy in every sense of the word, so she's looking for a home that's ready to match her enthusiasm with daily, appropriate exercise, playtime, and ongoing training and socialization.
Read more about Nova
Nova is "extra". She hollers. She’s loud. And she will tell you all about it, in great detail, with full commentary.
We love her for it and we love her opinions.
Even with all that energy, Nova shows manners around her elderly canine foster brother. She respects his space and lets him enjoy his quiet time.
Because we make every effort to set our puppies and their new families up for success, Nova's adopter will be required to complete an NOGSR-approved training course.
If you have the time, energy, and heart for a playful pup who will grow into a wonderful companion, we'd love to hear from you. She will be available for adoption after she is been spayed later this week. Apply at nogsr.org.

Puppy (4 years 4 months) · Male · Jack Russell Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 53 mi from Gulfport


✨ UPDATE!! MEET DAKOTA! ✨
Meet Dakota! This adorable little guy came to us from a local overcrowded shelter and has settled beautifully into foster care!
Dakota is a 3–4-month-old Terrier mix weighing just 4 lbs. Based on his current size, we believe he may be around 10–15 lbs. as an adult, but with mixed-breed puppies, adult size is always our best guess.
This little guy is SO sweet, playful, and great with other dogs! He’s enjoying foster life, playing with his furry friends, and showing everyone what a happy little pup he is.
Dakota is UTD, neutered, and READY for his forever home!
Read more about Dakota
Our adoptions are NOT first come, first served, and there is NO fee to apply! We work to find the home that is the best match for each individual animal.
We never state that any animal is fully house-trained. New environments, situations, families, and routines can lead to accidents—even with the most well-trained animals. Puppies especially will need continued potty training, socialization, and guidance as they grow.
ADOPTION FEE: $195
The adoption fee includes a vet check, age-appropriate vaccinations (at least 2 sets for puppies), dewormer, heartworm testing if over 6 months old, rabies vaccination if at least 16 weeks old, and spay/neuter.
All puppies will be altered before adoption. As part of our rescue policy, all healthy and adoptable dogs over 8 weeks old and 2 lbs. will be spayed or neutered prior to adoption. We have researched pediatric spay/neuter extensively and discussed it in depth with multiple veterinarians. From a rescue standpoint, this is an essential part of our efforts to prevent unwanted litters.
There are no exceptions to this policy for healthy, adoptable puppies. Please do not request an extension on spay/neuter, as one will not be granted.
❤️ Wags & Whiskers Animal Rescue is an ALL-VOLUNTEER rescue. Please allow our volunteers time to respond to inquiries and applications. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Jupiter is a sweet Dachshund mix around 2 years old and 26 lbs. who was saved from a local shelter and is now ready to find the family she deserves. She has that adorable standard Doxie-style build—short, chunky and long—and an equally lovable personality to go with it! ❤️

Jupiter is a sweet, calm girl who does well with both dogs AND cats. She even does great at doggy daycare! She would make a wonderful companion for a family looking for a more laid-back girl who can still enjoy having four-legged friends around.

Jupiter is UTD, HW tested, spayed and ready for her forever family!
✨ DON’T LET THIS SWEET, SHORT-LEGGED GIRL GET OVERLOOKED! ✨
If Jupiter sounds like the missing piece in your family, get your application in! And if you can’t adopt, PLEASE SHARE—her forever family may be waiting to see her! ❤️
Our adoptions are NOT on a first come first serve basis and there is no fee to apply! We never state any animal is fully house-trained. New environments, situations, families, routines, etc. can lead to accidents even with the most well-trained animals.
All dogs have a $195 adoption fee which includes vet check, age-appropriate shots (at least 2 sets for puppies), dewormer, heartworm test (if over 6 months), rabies (if at least 16 weeks) and spay/neuter! Puppies will be altered before adoption. All rescues and shelters practice pediatric spay and neuter. This is essential in our rescue efforts and it is a policy that we will stick by. All dogs over 8 weeks and 2 pounds will be altered before adoption. There are no exceptions to this rule on all healthy and adoptable dogs. We have researched and discussed in depth with multiple vets everything on pediatric spay and neuter and from a rescue standpoint it must be done. Please do not ask for an extension on spay and neutering; it will NOT be granted on a healthy puppy!
Puppies/Dogs that are not available for adoption due to vetting not being complete can be reserved with an approved application and a non-refundable $50 deposit. Deposits can ONLY be submitted once the rescue has been in contact on your approval and it has been requested through Wags and Whiskers.

14. Motley
Young (4 months 28 days) · Male · Hound / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 56 mi from Gulfport




Motley is a 5-month-old, 30-pound silly boy with a look all his own: white spots paired with brindle-striped legs make him one of a kind.
He's full of puppy fun, but a walk around the neighborhood, a play session with other dogs, or a game of tug of war is all it takes to wear him out, and then he's ready to settle in. He's a great fit for someone who wants a playful, happy pup without nonstop energy.
He's already house and crate trained. He gets along with other dogs and loves a good treat filled toy. Cats are still a mystery to him: he's equal parts scared and amazed by them, but has not shown aggression towards the ones in his foster home.
Read more about Motley
Our local (Mobile AL area) adoption fee is $175 and includes neuter, vaccines and microchip. He is available for Northeast US. Total transport adoption costs is $400 including standard adoption fee, transport costs and health certificate. Please send us a message to check drop off dates and locations.

Scooter has been neutered, vaccinated, and is on parasite prevention. He is currently being treated for heartworms, but that doesn't stop this happy boy from enjoying life and soaking up all the attention he can get.

16. Darla
Adult · Female · Terrier / Mixed · 56 mi from Gulfport


Darla is two years old and an absolute darling with a sweet, gentle personality. She loves to play, but she’s also perfectly content curling up on the couch for a long, cozy nap.
Darla is a little sad right now. She was found dumped on a dirt road and doesn’t understand why she was abandoned or why her family left her behind. She can be timid and shy at first, so she may need a little patience and reassurance while she learns to trust again. We were surprised to learn that Darla is heartworm negative!
Read more about Darla
Darla gets along well with other dogs and would love a patient, loving home where she can feel safe, build her confidence, and discover just how wonderful life can be.
This sweet girl has so much love to give. She just needs someone willing to give her a chance.
Our adoption fee is $175 and includes age appropriate vaccines, vet check, deworming, heartworm test, spay and a microchip. If you are interested, please complete the application below.

Captain is an adorable Lab/Pointer mix, around 1 year old and 50ish lbs. He’s doing great in the house, absolutely loves the other dogs in his foster home and is wonderful with people. He’s a sweet, happy boy who just needed to feel safe and loved!

18. Mollie Mae
Adult · Female · Catahoula Leopard Dog / Mixed (short coat) · 53 mi from Gulfport






✨ UPDATE!! MEET MOLLIE! ✨
Now that her babies have all moved on, it’s finally Momma Mollie’s turn to be someone’s baby! ❤️
Mollie was found as a stray and went on to give birth to 7 beautiful babies. She was an amazing momma, and today her last puppy left the nest. Now this special girl is ready to begin the next chapter of her life!
Mollie is a gorgeous blue merle Catahoula mix, approximately 3–5 years old and 35–40ish lbs. When she first arrived, this poor girl was absolutely terrified. Despite how scared she was, she remained incredibly sweet and never showed any aggression.
And what a difference 8 weeks has made! ❤️
Read more about Mollie Mae
Mollie is absolutely thriving in her foster home! She loves exploring the farm, playing with her foster siblings, and then settling in for some cuddles on the couch. She is great with dogs of all sizes AND cats. She doesn’t mind children, but we feel an older, calmer household would likely be the best fit for her personality.
Mollie uses a doggy door and keeps a clean kennel. Most importantly, she has learned that people can be kind and that life can be GOOD.
Her perfect family will understand that she may need a little patience, love, and reassurance while adjusting to a new environment. Give this girl a little time to feel safe, and we truly believe you’ll get a lifetime of love in return.
Mollie is UTD, heartworm tested, spayed, and READY FOR ADOPTION!
She has already overcome so much. She raised her babies, watched them leave for their new adventures, and now it’s Momma’s turn. Please help us find the family who will show Mollie just how wonderful the “real and good” life can be. ❤️
Our adoptions are NOT first come, first served, and there is NO fee to apply. We work to find the best match for each individual animal.
We also never state that any animal is fully house-trained. New environments, situations, families, and routines can lead to accidents—even with the most well-trained animals.

This includes a vet check, age-appropriate vaccinations (at least 2 sets for puppies), dewormer, heartworm testing if over 6 months, rabies vaccination if at least 16 weeks old, and spay/neuter.

23. Rebecca
Adult · Female · Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 53 mi from Gulfport


✨ MEET REBECCA!!! ✨
‼️ FOR OVER 3 YEARS ‼️ our volunteers, dedicated street feeders, and Mobile County Animal Shelter worked endlessly to catch this sweet girl. Rebecca evaded trap after trap after trap!
During those years, we helped multiple litters of puppies in the area and even successfully trapped Rebecca’s sister and her litter about a year ago.
BUT 6 MONTHS AGO, EVERYTHING CHANGED!!! ❤️
Thanks to the amazing efforts of Animal Control…
REBECCA WAS FINALLY SECURED, SAFE, AND OFF THE STREETS!!!
And today, she is THRIVING in foster care!
Read more about Rebecca
How this girl survived years on the streets through freezing temperatures and snow, the extreme summer heat, traffic, vehicles, and everything else she encountered is beyond us. She is one tough girl! ❤️
Rebecca has now been fully vetted and spayed, and little by little, she is learning how to be a dog and discovering what the good life is all about.
ABOUT REBECCA:
Lab mix
Approximately 3–5 years old
Around 40 lbs.
Shy at first, but oh-so-sweet
Great with dogs of all sizes
Doesn’t mind a kennel
Uses a doggy door
Loves being comfy on the couch
Has SO much love to give!
Rebecca will need a patient, understanding family who will give her the time she needs to adjust to a new home, routine, and environment. After spending so much of her life surviving on the streets, learning to trust takes time — but this girl is absolutely worth it. ❤️
She deserves to finally know what it feels like to have a family of her very own.
This rescue was truly a GROUP EFFORT. It takes a village, and we have the BEST! We are incredibly thankful to every volunteer, street feeder, Animal Control officer, shelter employee, foster, and supporter who played a part in getting Rebecca to safety.
Now there is only ONE thing missing from her story…
❤️ HER FOREVER HOME! ❤️
If you can give Rebecca the patient, loving home she has waited YEARS for, please submit an adoption application!

24. Daisy
Adult · Female · Beagle / Mixed (short coat) · 53 mi from Gulfport



UPDATE!!✨
I spent my life being neglected… but somehow, I never stopped believing people could be good.
“Hello, my name is Daisy.
I’m a calm, gentle girl who is approximately 5 years old. I was abandoned in a rural area of West Mobile, where I was found emaciated, starving and desperately in need of someone to care.
Thankfully, my foster parents found me, brought me home, filled my belly, gave me a bath and showed me kindness. Since then, I’ve slowly started letting my little personality shine through. ❤️
Read more about Daisy
I’m still a quiet, sweet girl who absolutely loves attention. The second I hear my foster parents’ voices, my tail starts wagging. It doesn’t take much to make me happy—I’m just grateful to finally know what it feels like to be cared for.
I’m also your classic Beagle! If I catch the scent of a squirrel or rabbit trail, that Beagle nose immediately goes to work!
I do well with my foster siblings, a Frenchie and a Jack Russell, and I don’t mind cats either. My foster family has children who can sometimes be loud and energetic, and that doesn’t bother me.
More than anything, I’m looking for someone calm, patient and kind.
My foster family believes I probably spent most, if not all, of my life living outside and being neglected. I don’t know why that was the life I was given, but despite everything I’ve been through, I still trust. I still love. And I still want a family of my own.
I’m ready to learn what it means to be someone’s beloved dog instead of the dog who was forgotten.
I don’t need anything fancy. I just need someone willing to show me the compassion, love and companionship I should have had all along.
❤️ Will you be the person who finally gives me my chance? ❤️”

30. Duchess
Young (1 year 8 months) · Female · German Shepherd Dog (medium coat) · 65 mi from Gulfport



Here's Duchess — Found eating trash in the street, she'd landed in a small, hot, rural shelter. Now, thanks to some amazing volunteers, she is safely with our rescue. She is a young (between 1 and 2 years old) petite, 50-lb sweetheart looking for her forever family!
Don't let her smaller size fool you, she's got a big heart. Duchess is affectionate, snuggly, and just wants to be near her people (or curled up in your lap, if you'll let her). She's an absolute doll — her foster put it best: "She is a catch!"
A few things that make her extra special:
Loves other dogs — she settled right in with her GSD foster sister showing her the ropes
Read more about Duchess
House trained and crate trained
Still working up her courage around squeaky toys unless she's the instigator (they're just a little alarming — give her time!)
Spayed and up to date on all vaccines
She is heartworm positive and has already started her treatment, fully covered by NOGSR and a generous benefactor, so cost will not be a barrier to giving her a home
Duchess deserves a forever home of her own. Could that be with you?

Adopting a dog in Gulfport
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
