More about the shelter
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 TOUGH TIMBER
This sweet soul arrived at the shelter and appeared to have been attacked by coyotes or dogs. Timber’s skin was missing in numerous areas on his body and doesn’t have enough skin around the wounds to pull them together. We are going to attempt ozone oil treatment for healing. He has had
a laser treatment and we hope that will help him to heal more quickly. He is
calm around the Foster’s dogs he is staying with. Despite whatever it was that he went through he is
still as sweet as can be.
