About Weatherford Wags

Who We Are

Weatherford Wags is a small, foster home–based dog rescue in Weatherford, Texas, dedicated to effecting positive change in the lives of dogs in and near Parker County by finding permanent homes for shelter dogs, keeping dogs out of shelters, and promoting responsible pet ownership.

Helping the Underdogs

We are committed to helping dogs of all ages and sizes, regardless of breed or breed mix, and don’t shy away from the “difficult” dogs, the overlooked ones, or the ones who require extra attention and care. We focus on the underdogs and are drawn to the misunderstood and scared ones. We embrace challenges, find joy in small successes, and celebrate our dogs’ big milestones.

Every Dog Deserves the Same Chance

We're in this for every dog. Because we want to give all dogs the same chance to show how remarkable they are and to find a family to call their own.

Our Commitment

In our efforts to improve and transform the lives of the dogs we take into our rescue and prepare them for their permanent homes or a transfer to another rescue organization, we take care of not only their basic wants, such as food and shelter, but also their medical needs, such as heartworm prevention or treatment.

What We Do

We strive to match our rescue’s dogs with their ideal humans and want to set them up for successful fostering experiences and adoptions. With this in mind, we focus on equipping foster care providers and prospective adopters alike with the educational tools they need to cultivate an environment in which our dogs can thrive, reach their full potential, and let their personalities shine.

This Includes...

• giving safe handling instructions to adopters and foster care providers
• offering training tips and even training classes for our foster dogs
• providing techniques for allowing our dogs to properly acclimate to their new homes and interact with other pets in the house
• stressing the importance of heartworm prevention and keeping vaccinations up to date
• recommending appropriate toys

We Depend on Foster Families

As we do not have a facility, we depend on foster families to temporarily care for our dogs in their homes until they are adopted or go on transport to be adopted elsewhere.

Foster Homes Are Essential

Foster homes are essential to our mission of saving dogs. The more foster homes we can rely on, the more dogs we can take into our rescue.
