Adopt a homeless animal! |
| |
'Got room in your heart and home for another
pet? Consider adopting a homeless dog or cat. But please
consider your decision carefully before you decide to bring a new
pet home! It is a commitment that you make for the lifetime of
that pet. Click
here to see the list of
dogs at our rescue who are looking for a new home.
If you are looking for another
breed of dog, or to rescue a cat or another type of animal,
please do a search on the internet. There are rescue
groups for almost every breed of dog, cat rescue groups, and
even groups who rescue small animals, reptiles or birds! |

Be a foster home! |
| |
If you can open
your home to a dog who needs a temporary foster home, click
here
for more information. We often have puppies, or dogs with
special medical needs who require a short-term home while they
are recovering from surgery, or while they are looking for their
forever home. |

|
Support your local animal shelter! |
| |
We encourage people to
adopt dogs from their local shelter whenever possible. There
are wonderful purebred dogs that end up there through no fault of
their own. These dogs are desperately looking for a new home,
and they only get a small window of opportunity to get adopted.
If you can build
up the nerve to walk through your local shelter, you will find many
wonderful dogs! And you will be saving his or her life when
you adopt them! Click here
to visit some websites to see photos of just a few of the dogs that
are in local shelters right now! If you see a dog that you
would like to adopt, call the shelter or get over there IMMEDIATELY!
Don't wait!

Can't adopt a dog?
Sponsor one at the rescue! |
| |
For $50 a month, you can
sponsor a dog at the rescue. We will put a nameplate on the
kennel with your name to show your support. Your donation will
go directly into the care and feeding of the dogs! Click here
to read more about sponsorship. |

Help a dog to get out of
a shelter alive! |
| |
To rescue a dog from an
animal shelter, we first have to pay to get them out. We pay
anywhere from $35 to $100 just to get a dog out of a shelter. A
donation in this range will help us to save a dog from dying at one
of our local pounds! |
| |
|
|
|
Help a dog to stay with his or her family. |
| |
The most common reason that a dog loses it's home
is because their family is moving to an apartment that does not
allow dogs! Help us to put together a list of resources to
allow pet owners to find "pet-friendly" housing.
Look for rental housing in your area that will allow big dogs, and
send us the information so that we can share! Click here
for more information on this program.

Got some free
time? Volunteer to help the dogs. |
| |

Encourage everyone you
know to spay or neuter their pets! |
| |
This sounds like a small
thing, but every time a dog or cat is spayed or neutered, you will
be saving hundreds of lives. Animals that are left
unsterilized can have litter after litter. Many of these pets
will end up unloved and unwanted at an animal shelter. Please
help us to stop the needless killing of these pets by getting the
word out to spay and neuter! |
| |
|
|
|
Help us to spread the
word. |
| |
Tell all of your friends,
family, co-workers and acquaintances about the rescue and what we do
here. Refer potential adopters to our website. Hand out
our newsletters and post them on bulletin boards in areas where
animal lovers might see them. Mention us to your vet and see if they can
help by providing low-cost veterinary services or referring
potential adopters to the rescue. Ask your local pet supply store if they can help our
efforts by donating food or other items. |

Send a donation to help
a dog in need. |
| |
No donation is too small to
help the dogs.
- A donation of
$10 will help to pay for one night's food and board for a dog that
has no where else to go, like Misty.
- For as little as $35, we can get a dog out
of the pound, like Shadow.
- $70 will keep a dog safe in a boarding facility for a week
until we have room for them at the rescue.
- A donation of $50-70 can be used to save the lives of hundreds of dogs by
getting a dog spayed or neutered.
- Donations of all sizes can be pooled together to pay for
medical bills, such as the bills that we paid to save the life of Senta
and her puppies.
