Dalhart Animal Wellness Group & Sanctuary

In March 2003, four young ladies in fourth grade were upset about dogs being euthanized in our town. Determined to stop this, they went to the City Council, convinced them to make the local animal control a no-kill facility, and then formulated a recycling plan to help fund their own no-kill rescue shelter, to be operated and maintained by student volunteers(ages 9-11). With very limited resources, no electricity (until December ༿) and minimal water access, they began picking up dogs and cats from the city facility, having them checked by the local vets, vaccinated, and -most importantly- spaying or neutering them prior to adoption. While facing many adverse conditions, these volunteers spent most of their free time over the past year at DAWGS, where they fed, watered, cleaned and loved the animal in their care. The shelter is located on an old ranch outside of town, which has been converted into nice, roomy pens for all of the inhabitants until they can find a loving, forever home.
