We support rescues
We support the hard work of local rescues and breed clubs, and recommend donating to local rescues and shelters so funds go to hands-on animal activities. See HelpPetShelters.com.
Transparency
Waggles View of the Puppy World
Education and open dialogue are critical to matching the right puppy with the right family.

No puppy mills
Fully transparent
Every puppy deserves a forever home
Every puppy and dog deserves a forever home, regardless of its source. Education and open dialogue are critical to matching the right puppy with the right family. We want to be clear: Waggles supports local rescues and shelters across the country. As committed pet owners, we too are concerned about puppy mills and poor breeding standards. We advocate for transparency and for improving the process of acquiring a puppy, no matter the source.
Waggles view of the puppy world
No puppy mills
We do not support puppy mills. Waggles evaluates breeders at a heightened standard that exceeds USDA requirements, and advocates for continual improvement. If a breeder fails to meet our standards or improvement plans, we will not purchase from that source.
Adoption is an option
We believe people looking for pets should consider adoption in addition to breeders and pet stores. Whether you shop or adopt, the choice should be yours.
Full transparency
We are transparent in where and how we source puppies, and we place breeder information for each puppy directly on their kennel.
Open dialogue
We value in-person conversations and the chance to connect with groups that are not yet familiar with the Waggles process.
Zero shelter impact
Our goal is zero impact on the shelter system. If your life situation changes and you need to rehome a puppy from Waggles, we are here to help with our rehoming program. Contact us for details.
