We’re fierce for the forgotten
WAGS is a foster-based rescue serving MA and ME. We rescue the abandoned, abused, and at-risk — and we don't stop until they're home.
Waiting Animals Getting Support (WAGS) is a registered 501(c)(3) Nonprofit. License #0172.
Every Act of Kindness, Big or Small, Saves Lives
Foster
As a foster-based rescue without any shelter facilities, we rely entirely on our fosters. We simply couldn’t do what we do without them.
Volunteer
Events, transport, photos, paperwork — volunteers keep this rescue running. Give us a few hours, and we'll put them to good use.
Donate
Your donation pays for vet bills, food, and gas to get animals where they need to go. We're all-volunteer, so your money goes to the animals, not overhead.
Help give them the life they deserve
When you adopt from WAGS, you save two lives — the animal you welcome home, and the one who takes their place in our care.
Join us for good times that do good
From wine nights and spa parties to bowling and live music festivals — our events are a blast, and every ticket, toast, and raffle helps animals in need.
Our Sponsors
We're a foster-based rescue serving Massachusetts and New Hampshire, saving abandoned, abused, and at-risk animals. No shelter, no paid staff — just a network of fosters and volunteers getting them out of bad situations and into good homes.
