About Our Family

We are a small family business with a HUGE love for animals!! ALL ANIMALS!!

My husband and I have been married for 23 years and have two absolutely amazing children.  Sage is 22, is the co-owner of our business, was a certified EMT, and is happily married to her high school sweetheart, Jacob.  Slade is 16 and is a VERY avid football player (He pretty much breaths, eats, and sleeps football) He also runs track and does power lifting, he's actually been to South State twice with track and State twice with powerlifting, taking second place in 2025 in his weight class. We have several pups of our own and four cats between all of us. We have 3 German Shepherds, a bulldog, a beagle and a mini schnauzer named Millie. If you come to our house, you'll hear Millie for sure lol. She's the smallest and the loudest. We have lived in the Purvis area most of our lives. I moved here in the 7th grade from Petal and my husband has been here since birth.  We are your normal, everyday family with busy, chaotic lives just like you. Our first mini schnauzer, Tank, is the true reason behind this business. He would get so upset when we left for vacation and couldn't take him. We couldn't just leave him anywhere because he would fret and make himself sick. So.... either he went with us or had to stay with family. Now we all know family is better when you have that option, but if you're like us you don't always want to impose on family or friends every time you go away. And so began Waggin Wheels!!! A home away from home for your furry baby that doesn't feel like a normal boarding situation.  Somewhere that can give them a bit more attention, time, and love than the normal facility. Somewhere that feels a little more like home and you obviously need someone you can trust!  We want to be that trustworthy family that helps you out!
