Get Involved

  Donations are what keep our rescue running! Since a majority of the dogs we rescue are older, have underlying health conditions, or both, our vet bills are constantly incoming. In addition, spay/neuter surgeries are very costly and add up quickly.

​

Monetary donations are always welcome!

We accept:

• PayPal: 

• Navy Federal Bank Transfer:

• Zelle:

Not able to send money or physical items?

Donate your time instead! Fosters are vital to making sure our rescues are ready for the world as they transition from puppy mills, or other difficult situations, to real life. Learning how to be a dog for the first time is ruff! We need committed, patient families to help our rescue pups. Click here to sign up to foster! Check the FAQ page for any additional questions you may have.

​

We also accept volunteers as needed, since we have a small number of staff members. We need help with adoption events, vet runs, transportation between surgeries/fosters, and supply pick-ups.

​

​

Not able to do any of the above?

EDUCATE AND ADVOCATE! Please share our dogs' stories with your friends and families! Word of mouth is a powerful tool, and just supporting our message and educating yourselves and others on why you should adopt instead of shop can make the world a better place. We are the ones who have to advocate for these dogs, since they cannot speak for themselves.

​

If breeders keep breeding and buyers keep buying from pet stores, the cycle of abuse only continues. Puppy mills run on supply-and-demand just like any other business, so decreasing the demand of puppies from horribly used and abused parents can, in time, encourage these places to shut down.
