Mission

Our non-profit continuously pursues its mission of animal rescue. In the first year of operation, 124 dogs have been saved, rehabilitated, and adopted into loving homes, 249 were saved in the second year, 149 during third, and 117 in the forth year. We had 30 animals in our care at the start of 2023. We took in 149 animals during 2023 (35 strays, 80 owner surrenders, 20 from shelters, and 14 other). We had 30 animals remaining in our care at the beginning of 2025, and accepted another 130 new arrivals. Many animals come with treatable illnesses not typical in the NorthEast states. We put time, effort, and funds into rehabilitating these animals, giving them a chance to get out of high kill shelters, and be adopted into loving homes.
