WAG to host open house at Halfway Home Ranch

SEQUIM — Welfare for Animals Guild plans two open houses for the public, with the first set for 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday.

The open house will be at the Halfway Home Ranch, 751 McComb Road.

Another event is set for 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Aug. 12.

A local dog rescue founded in 2001, WAG is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving Clallam County and surrounding communities.

The Halfway Home Ranch opened in October 2017 to provide a home for dogs while they are readied for adoption to their “forever” home.

The public is welcome to tour the facility and meet the dogs in person; normally the ranch is open by appointment only.

Visitors will be asked to step onto a wet shoe-sanitizer sponge mat upon entering the grounds to protect the dogs and puppies from parvovirus and other contaminants.

Visitors are asked not to bring their own dogs to the event. Only WAG dogs are allowed on the property.

Volunteers will show the dogs and puppies and discuss their individual personalities and profiles.

“Staff and volunteers have been training the dogs … helping them become good dog citizens as they await their new loving homes,” WAG representatives said. “They are going to put their best paws forward to try to impress you.”
