Overview
Mission
Our mission is to help American Eskimo Dogs who are in need of rescue. Our goals are to: Reduce the population of American Eskimo Dogs in shelters, humane societies, and in rescue. Raise awareness about the problem of unwanted American Eskimo Dogs and prevent it by discouraging indiscriminate breeding. Protect American Eskimo Dogs from abuse and cruelty. Prohibit any American Eskimo Dog from being adopted or released for the purpose of research or experimental use. Operate as a functional rescue organization that will take in and provide the proper shelter, veterinarian care, training, socialization, rehabilitation, and placement into caring and responsible homes. Network with other rescue organizations (pure-breed and all-breed) to help place American Eskimo Dogs. Provide funds to other 501c3 rescue groups (of any breed or mixed-breed) to help rehabilitate and rehome dogs with donations received that have been designated for these purposes. Provide funds to rescue-friendly businesses (e.g. veterinary clinics, professional positive reinforcement training services) that offer discounted or free services for 501c3 rescue groups to help rehabilitate and rehome dogs (of any breed or mixed-breed) with donations received that have been designated for these purposes.
