We are a non-profit, all volunteer dog rescue

Donating to us means that your money directly saves dogs’ lives. We welcome one-time and monthly donations, and many donations can be matched by your employer too.

We love what we do, and are always looking for help

As a foster-based rescue, we are reliant on wonderful folks who can foster our dogs until they find their forever home. We also have so many other volunteer opportunities. It takes a village – and we are so very proud of ours.
