Wags and Whiskers Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue based in Chico, California, serving Butte, Glenn, and Tehama counties by saving dogs and cats facing euthanasia in rural shelters or surrendered by owners in crisis. The group provides medical rehabilitation, vaccinations, and spay/neuter services.

Operating through a main adoption center on Pillsbury Road alongside local volunteer foster homes, the organization facilitates adoption events, community pet food assistance, and behavioral care. Supported entirely by donations, program services, and adoption fees, the rescue focuses on tailored adoptions and proactive community support to reduce shelter intake.

Animals over profits: Unlike typical corporate chains, we are completely against selling animals — always, now, and forever.

You choose where 25% of the earnings goes: We believe in full transparency — we calculate this 25% before paying for any executive salaries or business overhead. By skipping the fancy corporate costs, we ensure the money actually lands where it belongs: with the animals.
