Rescue FAQs

We are a big group of dog lovers. It’s sad to see how many dogs get euthanasia every day. We take the dogs out of kill shelters by the hundred, pay all the vet bills so they can be healthy. We are a non prophet RESCUE. We get no government funding. We need to do all our own fundraising and don’t get any money for the 80+ hours we are volunteering each week.
