| About Us |
| WAGS Rescue & Referral (WAGS) is a small group of volunteers from Bucks County, Philadelphia and Montgomery County, PA who wanted to help animals (especially those affected by Hurricane Katrina) by placing them in loving and safe homes. Wags is a 501(c)3 organization which means that we are non - profit organization and that any donations that we receive are tax deductible. All of the money that WAGS receives goes directly back to caring for the animals. Our goal as an organization is to complete families everyday, as well as heighten awareness that no animal, of any kind, is disposable! |
| In order to fulfill our mission of finding loving families for animals in need, we participate in many rescue oriented events such as The Annual Debella Walk, Philly Fit Fest, Hatboro Car Show just to name a few. We are active members of PETFINDER.com and rely heavily on word of mouth! We have found that most people are unaware that there are many extremely underfunded and over-crowed shelters even in major cities like Philadelphia. Although Hurricane Katrina prompted a group of people such as ourselves to reach out and help. There are still many other natural disasters that continue to give us a reason to keep going and rescue animals. |
| Please take the time to read this letter from one of the directors of Arrf about the conditions in their shelter. It will give you a very distinct picture of what the shelters there are like). Unfortunately since many of these shelters do not have the facilities or the funds to take care of these animals often the dogs are euthanized. We are affiliated with several local Pennsylvania groups for the betterment of the Tri-State area. The goal of these groups is to make the Delaware Valley area a no or low kill area. |
