Weatherford Wags

Our president started as the Volunteer Rescue Coordinator at the Weatherford Parker County Animal Shelter, Weatherford, Tx. We recently started Weatherford Wags, a 501c3 non profit rescue. We are a foster-home based rescue, focused on saving urgent dogs at local shelters. We also attempt to help strays and unwanted dogs in order to keep them out of shelters and to get them into loving homes. We do not have a facility. To be effective in saving a dog's life, we depend on the community to step up and offer their homes to temporarily foster a dog until it's adopted or goes on transport to be adopted elsewhere. So many dogs that are at risk at the shelters are great dogs, that just need a chance to prove it, and not be euthanized for space at the shelter. We find foster homes for the dogs, provide needed medical attention, help with food, and then market the dogs. We then screen and approve potential adopters, and provide help with integrating a new dog into their home. We do it for the love of dogs, knowing that just because a dog happens to be in the shelter, it is not a bad dog.

Meet Tiger

TIGER - a sweet 11 year old teddy bear was adopted as a puppy from FWACC and found himself as a stray and on the EU list. Tiger was RESCUED by Weatherford Wags and has been with a wonderful temporary foster but she is leaving town on July 16 and we need a new temporary or permanent foster as we DO NOT want him to go to boarding (form below) Tigers permanent foster that agreed to take him until adoption has since GHOSTED everyone leaving the rescue in a bind and we don’t want to board him so WE NEED YOU From his wonderful temporary foster - Tiger has been decompressing and is not fully integrated into my home. He is not in a crate, I have a spare bedroom with a hallway that I've gated off and he hangs in that area. He does not have accidents nor does he tear things up or cause any damage to my home. I bring him up to my office with me during the day and he is occasionally in the yard or the house with my dog only. and I do take the two of them on walks in the evening together (she is an Alpha dog and he respects her 'position'). In addition to my real job I also dog-sit and my guests have very minimal contact with him, but they can see and smell each other through the gate. I separate them when he leaves his confines. This sweet senior boy is 11 years old, 71 lbs, neutered and HW negative and as sweet as can be.
