Of the ~ 3 million shelter dogs and cats that are euthanized each year, about 80% of them were healthy or easily treatable.
Shelters just didn’t have room for them.

We don’t turn away dogs because they are older or need extra vet care like some rescues do. In addition to vaccines, heartworm tests, and spay/neuters that all dogs receive, we often have a need for help with more extensive treatments. Please take a look at our Medical Fund for particular cases.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1503862838813{margin-top: 3% !important;margin-bottom: 3% !important;padding-top: 3% !important;padding-bottom: 1% !important;}”][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDYSUyMGlkJTNEJTIyQ29zdCUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRmElM0U=[/vc_raw_html][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]
