Managed By Volunteers!

All these poor pups have been overlooked countless times. Shelters are meant to be a stepping stone, not a permanent residence. This website is here to help connect the public with all these amazing dogs. All of the photos and comments are supplied by volunteers that have spent many, many hours with these dogs.
