PLEASE HELP DAWG SAVE SHELTER DOGS!

All shelters are overloaded, and most euthanize animals after a limited number of days, if not immediately when full. Don't blame shelters! There are too many unwanted dogs -- young and old, healthy and sick, small and large, purebred and mixed breed. The waste and betrayal of innocent, dependent lives is a disgrace, and it impels those of us who care to act.

 

 What can YOU do? 

 

When you financially support DAWG, you help us take dogs from shelters, care for them as they recover from illnesses and injuries, and give them time until the right adopter is found for each one.

 

DAWG has to be ready to pay for extraordinary as well as routine veterinarian care. It costs $1,000 "off the top" to quarantine shelter dogs, who arrive sick with respiratory illnesses, and then to provide basic vaccines, spaying/neutering, and "whatever else" our veterinarian discovers each dog needs.  

 

Ironically, while DAWG deliberately takes in shelter dogs no other rescue organization or the public chooses because of obvious medical needs or heartworms, often dogs who seem well enough at intake turn out to have undetected medical problems. Does DAWG return these dogs to the shelter because they "cost too much?"  NEVER.

Adoption fees are nominal and hardly make a “dent” in the overall cost of caring for DAWG dogs until adopted. There is no magic source of revenue...just you.

 

Only 3.8% of our donated funds are spent on general/administrative expenses, and 0% is spent on fundraising. So 96% of donations literally “go to the DAWGS.”

 

Please keep us going, so we can give a future to dogs just like the faces already on our website. They are alive, well, and awaiting homes only because compassionate individuals chose to get involved through their financial support. We can’t do it without you!

SPONSOR A SPECIAL NEEDS DOG!

Watch the DAWG website for dogs who arrive needing special/emergency care! Over the years we have taken in dogs with severe medical needs including starvation.  COOKIE, who arrived in late 2010. was found tied and unconscious in a burning, abandoned home. We were horrified when Cookie's skin peeled off a few days after we took her in. Thanks to our veterinarian's and South Paws' HBOT treatments, Cookie's skin is beginning to heal. For further information, please refer to Cookie's web page and/or write to us for more information at dawg@dawg-rescue.org. We monitor our website from dawn to dusk and will answer questions about any of our dogs!
