One Tail at a Time - West Texas

One Tail at a Time - West Texas (OTAT-WTX) is based in Marfa, TX and works across hundreds of miles of rugged, remote borderland - there’s frequently no cell service, no water, almost no retail, no medical services. Virtually everyone lives off the grid down winding dirt roads. There’s not much for local economy; people are generally just making ends meet. It’s not hyperbole to suggest that there may be more pets than people. In this wild place, full of predation and environmental extremes, we help homeless and unwanted dogs in communities with no shelter access while simultaneously working to turn high-risk, low-enrichment shelters into places of hope. One Tail at a Time – West Texas (OTAT-WTX) is a foster-based, all-breed, no kill pet rescue that supports the Alpine, Marfa, McCamey, Pecos, Presidio, Terrell County, and Van Horn Shelters, as well as pets in shelterless communities across 8 counties in West Texas.
