Focus On Older Or Medically Challenged Dogs
Older and medically challenged dogs often face enormous hurdles in shelters due to a lack of resources. Many of these dogs require specialized medical treatments, ongoing care, and a higher level of attention.

In those cases, a Board member may reach to that organization and discuss submission of a proposal consistent with our mission.
