Update from the President of PAWS of Franklin County Texas…

PAWS has set aside a sum of money that we are using to pay for all spays and neuters for animals to be adopted.  PAWS will pay for all these surgeries for as long as that money lasts.  Anyone who wishes to can make a donation exclusively to the Spay/Neuter fund.
We would like to welcome the newest member of our shelter team! Meet Tina Jaggers the new shelter manager for the Mount Vernon Animal Shelter. Tina has worked in the building since Dr. Reed was there, so we are happy to be able to keep her!

Tina Jaggers, PAWS shelter manager

Tina has a passion for animals and their care. For the past 10 years, she has been the owner and groomer of Must Love Dogs Grooming, a local dog grooming salon located right here at the PAWS building. She also worked as a vet tech for the Mt. Vernon Veterinary Clinic and has over 30 years of experience as a public school teacher. Tina has lived in Franklin County her entire life. She and her husband, Terry, have three grown children, and four grandchildren. Tina’s personal pets include Pistol, a shih tzu mix, Nora, a rescue from FM 37, and Catten, a tabby cat. Tina also enjoys spending time with her family and friends, reading, and crafting. Tina’s goals in operating the Mt.Vernon Animal Shelter include providing a clean safe building to house Franklin County’s strays, abandoned, and unwanted dogs and cats, while matching the perfect pet to the right loving family. She believes that sterilization is the key to manage the over population problem in our area. She will work to provide inexpensive options for the pet owners of Franklin County. If you are looking to adopt the perfect pet, would like to volunteer your time, or just donate to the cause, please give Tina a call at 903 588 3030.
