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 Lil Bit

Lil Bit is a 2-4 year old 25ish pound female Aussie-doodle (our best guess). She was on the euthansia list for serving time in quarantine for biting a landscaper who was loading a lawnmower in his truck. The family decided they did not want Lil Bit back.  A foster happened to be at the shelter and coaxed her out of the kennel. It was easy to make friends with her and the foster quickly handled her mouth, teeth, and paws with no issues. Lil Bit takes a moment to warm up to new people and doesn't enjoy quick movements or chaos. For this reason, a home with older children is a must. She seems to warm up to females more easily but will make friends with males as well. Once you earn her trust she wants to be a lap dog! She loves to play with other dogs and respects cats. Lil Bit would thrive in a calm home where not a lot of visitors come and go. She would benefit from some confidence training as well.
