Saving Max

We try very hard to hold off on pleas for money. But when emergencies happen we need support to make it through those times. Baby Max needed emergency surgery today for an intusssusception. In simpleton terms, parts of his intestines folded into each other. Dr. Wise at Monroe Animal Care Hospital performed a 3 hour surgery today and had to remove a large piece of his intestine. At only 12 weeks old, his survival isn't guaranteed but we're determined to give him every possible chance.

Any donation, large or small, $1 or more, is appreciated. We'll keep you updated on Max's progress. Please hope for the best for this baby - we want to see him 100% better and going home with a loving family soon!

Thank you so much for helping Max!

Honoring Lynda Deighton

We just learned of the passing of a very kind person, wonderful pet lover and WAG supporter - Lynda Deighton. Lynda and her husband Alan own and operated New London School of Driving in Snellville. Linda passed away on February 22. To honor her love of animals, her family thoughtfully designated WAG as the recipient of memorial donations for Lynda. We're grateful for their kindness during this time of loss. Our condolences go out to the Deighton family

Retiring Moms

Here are a couple of recently retired mama dogs - June and Scully. These two girls contributed 16 puppies to our Puppy Prevention program. All their babies were spayed/neutered and found great homes. Now both have been spayed and are officially retired from the Mom business, devoting their full attention to being happy family pets. Thanks to their owners Alicia and Kim for working with WAG to "fix" their puppy issues!

Cooper scores a home!

Our boy Cooper found a new home today, after only a few shorts weeks in foster care. The first dog rescued through Scooter's Second Chance Friends, Cooper will be the happy companion of a retired dog lover who is ready to spend lots of time with him. Way to go, Cooper!

Fawn's Lucky Day

Monday February 2 was supposed to be Fawn's last day alive.

After spending more than a week in the shelter with no adopter inquiries and rescues passing her by, she was on the post-weekend euthanasia list. Only a year old and lots of life ahead of her. Destined to be just another animal dead in the shelter while people who won't spay/neuter their pets offer a collective shrug - not our fault, they say.

But Monday WAS her last day - in the shelter, that is. Fawn got lucky. A caring animal lover stepped forward and offered to foster her for WAG. Fosters offer more than their home to these animals. They offer the gift of time and a hopeful, happy future. Fosters change the world for these deserving dogs.

Fawn literally bounced out of the shelter, thrilled to see grass again! She leaped into the crate, anxious to put miles between her and the shelter and looking toward new adventures. We snapped a few pictures before she left for her foster home, but she didn't want to stand still for long. She was too busy running in happy circles.

Fawn will soon be vaccinated, dewormed, spayed and tested for heartworms. She's joined the WAG rescue crew and will be available for adoption soon! Our thanks to her sponsors for contributing toward this playful girls care!
