Our Story
Honor the Wag came about when we decided we were no longer going to work in rescue and take fosters but instead focus on our own furbabies. The very next day Doug came running out in front of our car. We had heard a dog had been dumped in our area 4 days prior. We had always worked in bulldog rescues and Doug was a bulldog...we knew God had other plans for us. We never found what we wanted in rescues, we wanted to really work with one or two dogs to build their confidence, get them what they needed, and find forever homes for them. Forever homes which were perfect for them and for their new human, so it would be a successful happily ever after story. We knew we had become Warriors of God’s Paws. We are not a rescue, all care comes from our own pockets, maybe some day we will move up to the level of fundraising. But as of now, the dogs we have taken in have come from people reaching out to us for help, and to help get the babies adopted, thus to get the word out, we developed this FB page. The name says it all, honor the wag, honoring those who love us unconditionally. We are just caring humans promoting better lives for companion animals. We also utilize information sharing, education, and when a companion animal falls into our lives, we will help find them the best forever home they could wish for and so deserve. Sometimes this also means finding them the best and appropriate rescues, who work ethically for the best of the specific breed we have taken into our care. We are following our calling! Because we believe God has placed these dogs in our care, we feel a very strong responsibility to place them in the best fit of a home we can find. They will forever be part of our family, and before we entrust them in someone’s care, we must be comfortable they would be loved and cared for as good as or better than we would love and care for them. To be considered for adoption by our babies, you must request an application by emailing [email protected] and requesting an application, unless we are working with a rescue and that information will be posted. We will review all applications. If we feel the applicant is a possibility to move to the next stage, we will contact the individual(s) for an interview, we will run background checks, speak to their vets, do home visits and if we feel it may be a good fit, we will set up a meet and greet. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed. Any dishonestly will automatically remove an individual from the process. All of our fur babies must live inside with the family, be fed high quality food, no choke or pronged collars, and be given proper medical care, including preventatives. A contract will be signed and if these things are not maintained we will take back control of the dog. We value God’s animals and expect anyone taking ownership of one of our babies to do the same. Thank you for following us and supporting our mission. Prayers and good energy sent to all our babies are always welcome!
