Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals
Mission: Compassion in Action;To show by example the simplest ways to make a difference in the lives of animals.
Results: We built a 2000 sq ft climate controlled shelter in 2006 which doesn't make us dependent on fosters. We acquired a bus and converted it for taking the dogs to and from adoption. Since 2006 we've done over 200 adoptions a year. In 2010 two of our wheelchair bound dogs were accepted into Baylor University Medical Center's Pet Assisted Therapy Program; the first wheelchair bound dogs visiting patients who are much like themselves. It's a remarkable event every time we go.
Target demographics: animals in city shelters
Geographic areas served: The Dallas Metroplex
Programs: We provide dogs to the Dallas County Juvenile Authority's PREP program, where at risk young men are taught a skill with dogs. It changes the boy's lives and we get back an obedience trained dog that's 100% easier to adopt.
