About WAG

Since 2001, WAG has placed dogs into new, loving homes. Our rescues come to us in many ways: owner surrenders due to unplanned life changes, over-populated shelters, and strays found wandering streets and fields. Prior to adoption, all of our rescues are spayed/neutered, receive all vaccines, are micro-chipped, and all other medical needs are addressed.

In addition to other expenses, our veterinary bill averages over $70,000 annually. We do multiple fundraisers throughout the year to raise money to help meet our expenses. What sets us apart from other rescue groups is that the dogs either live in private homes or at the Halfway Home Ranch until they are adopted. This way, we get to really know the dogs and are more able to find the perfect match for them. Our foster families care for the dogs right along with their own dogs. We pay for all their needs and they provide the love!

Spay and Neuter Clinics

Special efforts have been made to help pet overpopulation with WAG-sponsored spay/neuter clinics.
