Izzy's Happy Ending



Hundreds of WAG adoptions and we still love hearing the happy-ever-after stories. Thanks to the Page family for posting the following on Facebook about their sweet girl Izzy and allowing us to share with our friends:
This is our sweet Izzy that we got from Walton Animal Guild. As you can see from the puppy pic, how could we resist the sweet face and floppy ears. This organization is amazing. They rescue hundreds of animals every year and are truly a God sent. Izzy is now 2 years old and just the sweetest, cutest and funniest. We wouldn't have this awesome family member if it wasn't for WAG!! We love y'all and thank you for all you do!! If you are looking for a furbaby please look into rescuing atwww.wagwalton.com

WAG dogs are New Jersey Bound!

There's nothing better than great partnerships to help more animals. WAG is happy to renew our partnership with Burlington County Animal Alliance of New Jersey (BCAA). We've helped pull and transfer dogs in the past to this great group and thanks to our friend and their GA contact, Terry Rogers, we'll be working with them more in the months ahead. Some of you may recall Terry and her husband Jim drove us to our CT adoption events in their shuttle bus, and they continue to spend countless unpaid hours driving dogs to new homes in the northeast. Lots of dogs in the Walton County shelter owe their lives to these awesome folks and we're happy to help.
Several of our Puppy Prevention pups recently went to loving homes in NJ thanks to BCAA, so WAG dogs continue to find homes across this great nation of ours! wink emoticon Thanks to Terry and BCAA for reaching out and working with us!

Scooter's story

If you're involved in rescue long enough, you'll come across certain situations that convince you some things are just meant to be.
We posted Jasper's photo last week. He'd been rescued from the shelter and later tested positive for heartworms. But his lifesaving treatment is being funded by a wonderful donation through Scooter's Second Chance Friends, in memory of a much-loved pet.
Jasper's photo was spotted by Allison, who adopted a rescue dog from us several years ago. She knew he had to join their family. So on Saturday they drove to Conyers Petsmart and took Jasper home to live with them and his new brother, Monkey, the dog they previously adopted from us (and a whiskered look-alike).
And what did Jasper's new young owner choose for his new name - before they even came to pick him up? Scooter! Not because she saw the reference to Scooter's Second Chance Friends. Not because anyone asked her to. Because she thought it was the best name for him.
So congratulations to Scooter - and what a great way to carry on his benefactor's legacy.
