Who We Are
Who: We are a dedicated team of passionate dog lovers committed to supporting fellow pet parents in their journey of adoption and responsible pet guardianship.
What We Do
We support pet parents by providing accessible & essential information and resources to help them ensure the best possible life for their dogs. We promote & support life-saving adoption and spay/neuter programs and offer financial assistance to families needing support with cancer diagnostics, treatment, palliative care, and compassionate end-of-life care.
Why We Do It
We are driven by the belief that every dog deserves a long and healthy life with the people they love. Dogs give us unwavering love and loyalty, and we owe it to them to provide the best care possible. Our mission is to ensure that all dogs receive the support, resources, and medical care they need to live happy, healthy lives alongside their devoted families. While we are not a rescue organization, we support rescue organizations and shelters by helping the dogs in their programs find loving homes. We strive to assist these groups in their efforts to ensure every dog has the chance to be cherished and cared for.
Adopt Your New Best Friend
Choosing to adopt your next best friend from a local shelter or rescue isn't just about giving a dog a home—it's about embarking on an exciting journey to find the perfect furry companion. From playful pups to seasoned seniors, shelters are brimming with dogs of all shapes and sizes, each with their own unique personality waiting to steal your heart. By opting to adopt, you're not only saving a life, but also gaining a loyal and loving friend who'll bring endless joy and adventure into your life.
Preparation & Education is a Must
Being a prepared and educated pet parent is crucial for ensuring your new family member's well-being and happiness. from prioritizing proper healthcare and understanding basic dog behavior to investing time in training and spaying/neutering them, these steps lay the foundation for a healthy and harmonious life together. By staying informed and proactive, you can help your dog thrive by your side, creating a bond filled with love, companionship, and cherished memories.
Proper preparation plays a pivotal role in ensuring a successful adoption and reducing the likelihood of dogs being returned to shelters or rescues due to misunderstanding their needs. By taking the time to research and understand a dog's breed traits, energy levels, and specific requirements, adopters can make informed decisions and provide the appropriate care and environment. This preparation helps match dogs with compatible families, fostering long-lasting relationships built on understanding, commitment, and love, ultimately resulting in happier homes and fewer dogs in need of rehoming.
Fostering Saves Lives
Fostering dogs is a vital act of compassion that not only saves the life of the fostered dog but also creates space for others in need. By opening up your home to a foster dog, you directly contribute to relieving overcrowding in shelters, allowing them to rescue and care for more animals. your selfless act not only transforms the life of the dog you foster but also creates a ripple effect of hope and second chances for countless others awaiting their turn. Together, through fostering, we can make a profound difference in the lives of shelter pets and pave the way for a brighter future.
F*ck Cancer
Routine preventive vet care and bloodwork are essential for maintaining your dog's health and detecting potential issues early, including certain types of cancer. We understand the emotional and financial challenges of cancer diagnostics and treatment, and we're here to provide support to families whenever donations allow.
