We are a nonprofit organization with an amazing team of volunteers, fosters, and adopters who are committed to helping animals in our community and communities across the country. We take our convictions and turn them into action, with our main focus being street dogs from southern states. There are so many on the streets that need care and want nothing more than to be part of a family! We also help out our community by taking in surrenders around the Fox Valley area and across the state.

This group is our lifeline to keep us organized! Without them, we would be lost!

Dawn Welling - Event & fundraising

Dawn has been involved with the rescue since early on, as one of the employees at Wellness Veterinary Clinic. She has enjoyed being involved in that way, but wanted to do more! We are thrilled to have added her to our team as our Event/Fundraising Coordinator!


Fosters & Volunteers

Without all of these amazing people, we could not do what we do! They are all invaluable!

Fosters

Our loving fosters are on the front line and first stop for each dog before they start their best life with their new forever family! They are beyond incredible!

Volunteers

Volunteers help us with everything from transports, events, cleaning up dogs, feeding, fundraisers, and more! They are unbelievable!
