Founded in March 2013, the all-volunteer organization has saved over 5,000 dogs by pulling them from high-kill shelters and owner surrenders, placing them in foster homes, and matching them with forever families. Run by 150-180 volunteers with no paid staff, it is funded entirely through adoption fees, donations, and fundraisers, and provides foster families with food, crates, toys, training, and medical care. Every dog is fully vetted before adoption, including spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm testing for adults, and microchipping.
