It’s been a busy year for the Puppy Prevention Program. A total of 108 puppies enrolled in the program since January. All have been spayed/neutered and gone onto new homes. Here are just a few of the moms who’ve been spayed, retired from puppy-rearing and will spend the rest of their lives being nothing more…

New Families
Here are some happy adopters from April and May. Our thanks for opening your heart to a rescue pet – welcome to the WAG family!
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…
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…
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…
Thanks for all you do, Buddy Wag!

In Memory of Todo Sanders
Todo, the much-loved pet of Nina Sanders, was memorialized in a donation to WAG from Brenda at Sirius Mobile Grooming. Brenda knew Todo for 8 years and loved her unique personality. “I will miss her sweet self,” writes Brenda. “She wasn’t the easiest to groom, but she was honest!” Our condolences to Nina Sanders on…
Max’s forever ending…
Max had a rough time for awhile – intestinal surgery and a recovery period. But our donors rallied around him, he rested and recuperated and finally has his own happy ending. Here’s Max with his new parents – this sweet boy has gone to his forever home!
Community Support
We’d like to thank the Walton County Foundation for once again supporting Walton Animal Guild’s Spay Neuter Assistance Program. WAG received a grant in the amount of $2,500 toward our 2015 SNAP programs, which will go a long way toward helping more low-income pet owners in the community. We’re very grateful for the Foundation’s continuing…

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…
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…
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….

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…
Penny
This little girl was dragged into the shelter by her owner. Reason for surrender? “She keeps having puppies.” His response to the suggestion of having her spayed – “I don’t have time to fool around with all that.” So she huddled in the corner of her shelter cage, terrified and not sure what she did…
