Sequim Gazette photo by Emily Matthiessen Eli Celaya, 12, of Forks, visits with Tess at the Welfare for Animals Guild (WAG) open house on Saturday. Approximately three-years-old, border collie mix Tess, rescued from a field about a month ago, is one of 34 dogs currently cared for by WAG. They were receiving applications at the event, which had a strong turnout, in the hopes of finding forever homes for current residents and fosters and making room for more of the many dogs that need help. Celaya, who has rescue puppies at home, and whose family is involved with the Friends of Forks Animals, says that Tess “loves kids and is gentle and sweet. She can get comfortable around anybody if they are calm.”
