Overview

Mission

1. Rescue homeless and unwanted hounds & other dogs as space permits. 2. Vaccinate all rescues against disease & provide needed health care. 3. Fight pet overpopulation by spaying or neutering all rescues. 4. Adopt rescues to responsible and loving new homes. 5. Provide lifetime shelter and care to any rescued dog that is not adopted.

What it reported doing in 2023

For the year , around 300 beagles and other hound dogs were rescued and placed in new homes. Upon rescue, each dog is given a medical examination and treatment for any medical problems. All vaccinations are updated based on the available history of the dog. Each dog is spayed or neutered to assist in the fight against pet overpopulation. The dogs temperaments and personalities are matched with other similar dogs to emphasize socialization and retraining. All dogs have a lifetime sanctuary until adoption, in accordance with a no-kill policy.
