Waggin' Wagon

Furry adoptable friends have been available all over Grand Prairie and surrounding areas since the Prairie Paws Adoption Center's Waggin' Wagon started rolling in July 2013. The air-conditioned and heated trailer travels around Grand Prairie and surrounding areas with up to 21 cats and dogs, making animal adoptions more convenient for citizens. All animals on the trailer are available for adoption for only $35. Most animals are sterilized and have been vaccinated. Waggin' Wagon employees accept cash, checks and all credit cards except American Express as payment for the adopted pets.

The Waggin' Wagon's exterior design features psychedelic colors with photos of actual Grand Prairie shelter animals. It's definitely easy to spot when out on location!
