About Preston

Preston is a charming puppy who was rescued with his siblings and mom from a rundown house in Mississippi. They were found abandoned, but thankfully a good Samaritan stepped in to help. Since arriving at W.A.G.S., Preston and his siblings have been thriving, playing, and cuddling together as they wait for their forever homes. This little guy is quite submissive and has a dignified demeanor. He enjoys the company of other dogs and gets along well with them. Preston is also great with children, making him an excellent addition to a family seeking a loving companion. Having been vaccinated and neutered, he is ready to find a family in the northeast who will cherish him. Adoption helps support W.A.G.S., a nonprofit organization that takes care of many dogs. Your support ensures they can continue their essential work. If you're interested in welcoming Preston into your home, consider applying today.
