WAG Rescue wants to send out a message that is impossible to ignore. Due to pet overpopulation, shelters are euthanizing thousands of healthy animals every day, the direct result of people not spaying or neutering pets.
As part of our mission, WAG Rescue provides spay and neuter vouchers through partner veterinarians for dogs in Wimberley and the immediate surrounding area to assist in the prevention of pet overpopulation. If you need assistance with paying for a spay or neuter procedure for your pet, please submit a voucher request below. The voucher pays for either spay or neuter. You will be responsible for all other charges, such as vaccines.
WAG Rescue understands that unexpected life changes happen. While our primary focus is rescuing stray and vulnerable dogs across Wimberley, Dripping Springs, Blanco, and Comal County, we assist local owners with surrenders whenever funding and foster space allow.
To apply, owners must provide proof of ownership, a signed Relinquishment Form, and veterinary records showing a current heartworm test within 30 days (heartworm-positive dogs are evaluated on a case-by-case basis). Please note that once surrendered, ownership transfers fully to WAG Rescue, and adoptive family information is kept private. We cannot accept dogs with a history of aggression or severe behavior issues. While we do not charge a relinquishment fee, donations are deeply appreciated to help cover care.
Please complete the Owner Surrender Form by following this link: Owner Surrender Form.
Once we review your form we will contact you. Please be patient as we receive a large number of requests from people that need to surrender their dog. WAG Rescue will make every effort to help you, but please realize we are a small rescue group with limited resources.
WAG Rescue receives calls daily about lost and found pets. Although WAG is not an intake shelter and does not take found/stray dogs directly, we want to help make sure that owners of lost pets and finders of stray dogs in our community get connected to resources to help reunite pets and their owners as quickly as possible.
The first and most important thing you can do to help with lost and found pets is to make sure your pet has a collar and ID tag AND is chipped. All dogs in Texas are required by law to have a rabies vaccination. The rabies tag is registered at your vet with your information and makes a good ID tag. Even better, make sure your dog is microchipped. Collars come off and a microchip is the best way to protect your pet and to be reunited as quickly as possible. Keep your pet’s microchip information up-to-date with your current contact information. Find out more below.
The first 48 hours are critical so start your search immediately! Facebook gets the best and fastest results.The front-line resource for our community for lost and found pets is longtime lost and found community coordinator, G’ma Cathleen, and her Facebook page Wimberley Area Lost & Found Pets. If you have lost or found a pet, call or text G’ma Cathleen directly at 214-507-6422 with details, photos, etc. She will post to her page and share to her network of local lost and found Facebook pages to get the word out quickly and will coordinate communication back to you.
Use social media to your advantage. Post and share a picture, description, date and time your pet went missing, contact information, and exact location your pet was lost, including city and nearest cross streets.
