Rescue Waggin'® Program Stories
Read about the happy endings for some of the lucky dogs who rode Rescue Waggin’ vehicles to their new homes.
Dawn - The 50,000th Dog to Ride a PetSmart Charities® Rescue Waggin'® Vehicle - Offered as a “gift,” her family relinquished her after less than six months, Dawn goes on to be celebrated as the 50,000th dog transported on a PetSmart Charities® Rescue Waggin'® vehicle.
Charley - When Charley stepped off the Rescue Waggin'® vehicle at the Bay Area Humane Society (BAHS) in Green Bay, Wisconsin, staff members noticed that he limped. Once the vets checked him, they discovered that Charley needed surgery on his hips.
Brownie - When Brownie left the Salina Animal Shelter in Salina, Kansas aboard PetSmart Charities® Rescue Waggin’® vehicle, he was on the road to a new and improved life.
Trillian - Trillian was adopted thanks to the PetSmart Charities® Rescue Waggin'® program.
King - In November 2009, a Utah-based woman walking her dog spotted King lying in a ditch. His front legs were tied together, he had suffered serious burns, and was severely underweight.
