The 12 Spays of Christmas

To encourage shelter adoptions during the month of December, WAG offered vouchers for a free spay/neuter at Paradox Clinic to adopters of 12 shelter animals. We’re glad to report that 12 lucky pets went to new homes using those vouchers, helping the Walton Co. shelter to have one of their best December adoption months! Great…

Cisco Rebounds

This sweet Dachshund mix needed emergency surgery in December. We rescued Cisco from the shelter a few weeks ago after being dumped by his owner and found him to be a kind but quiet boy. But he apparently had an underlying problem – bladder stones and a life-threatening major infection. When the stones caused a…

The 12 Spays of Christmas

Walton Animal Guild is sponsoring up to 12 spay/neuter surgeries at Paradox Spay/Neuter Clinic for shelter animals adopted between now and December 31. There are some wonderful dogs and cats waiting for homes – check out the shelter website at www.waltonpets.net. Consider bringing home a new furry family member for the holidays and create your…

A New Life

The world is looking up for former WAG adoptable dog Chip, a Lab mix. He was a shy, scared boy when we rescued him – unfortunately he also tested positive for heartworms. He endured several months of treatment for heartworms with painful muscular injections. But Chip responded well to treatment and his personality blossomed in…

Helping Hands

A big Thank You to WAG friend Meri Kate. For the second year in a row, Meri Kate made arrangements to do a food-raising drive for WAG’s pet food pantry at Tractor Supply in Monroe. She set up the date and created her own marketing materials, letting people know about the food pantry and how…

Matching Kindness

Walton Animal Guild would like to thank Modern Woodmen of America for their $2,500 matching gift. Their philanthropic program provided matching funds for money raised (up to $2,500) from our September fundraising drive. We received their check last week – the money is in the bank and will help many animals in 2017 due to…

What Does WAG Do?

Helping animals and people – that’s our goal. Through programs like Rescue, Adoption, Spay/Neuter, and other community oriented programs, WAG works to help homeless pets find loving families, and assist pet owners with keeping their animals healthy and happy. A review of our 2015 results shows our methods: Our Spay/Neuter Program sterilized 140 pets of…

Remembering Katherine Pete

Heartfelt condolences go out to our friends at Alliance Fire Protection Services and owners Rick and Ronda Parks at the sudden passing of their daughter, Katherine Pete. This kind, generous person and devoted animal lover volunteered for WAG over the years and was a dedicated behind-the-scenes supporter since our beginning. Katherine leaves behind a young…

A Doggone Yard Sale

Update: A Big THANK YOU to our supporters for making the yard sale a rousing success! We raised over $1,300 on Saturday, and combined with additional sales and donations brought in $2,504, enough to maximize the matching donation opportunity!   ***************************************** Get ready to do some shopping at WAG’s Doggone Yard sale on Saturday, September…

Paws at Work for WAG

Great people have great ideas. Our friends at Alliance Fire Protection Services have come up with an innovative way to support WAG – a Take Your Dog to Work day! For a small donation, employees sign up to bring their dogs into work with them for one day. The employee has the fun of spending…

Puppy Prevention Program

Spring is breeding season and puppies are soon to follow. Unfortunately, most will be from unplanned litters – the primary cause of pet overpopulation. Fix your critters – end the litters! But what happens when you already have a female dog that is pregnant or has a litter of puppies? Maybe WAG can help. WAG’s…

Remembering Joyce Nunley

Our condolences to the family of Joyce Nunley for the loss of this wonderful animal-loving Southern lady. Joyce, who was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Ray Nunley, passed away on March 27, 2016 at her home in Loganville,  leaving behind many loving friends and family. Survivors include her daughters Sonya Dixon…

Sharing and Caring

A big thank you to the Tractor Supply stores in Monroe and Snellville for their recent donations to WAG’s Pet Food Pantry. Many businesses needlessly discard merchandise, so we’re grateful Tractor Supply considered the needs of their community when making plans for discontinued manufacturer’s product.  All WAG food donations go toward helping pet parents in…

Sweet Sarah

A sad update to our story about Sarah. A day after her spay surgery she began to show some discomfort which worsened overnight. By the next morning she was in obvious pain and we rushed her to the vet. The diagnosis was a gastric torsion, an emergency condition where the stomach is distended by gas and…

In Memory

Our hearts go out to the family of Jeff Noll on the unexpected loss of this dedicated animal lover. We met this very kind man last summer when he drove all the way to Loganville from South Carolina to adopt a new puppy from us. Anyone who would drive five hours to Georgia to pick…
