OUR MISSION
We endeavor to work in under-served neighborhoods in Guilford County, NC; assisting families with chained dogs to become compliant with local anti-tethering ordinances. We provide no-cost, chain link kennel systems allowing them to unchain their pet in a safe and secure enclosure. We educate and provide resources for our families to properly care for their pets. We have also partnered with a local veterinarian who assists us with providing medical care for the dogs in our program which need it most. Finally, in our most dire cases we assist our families with any critical needs they may personally have.
Requirements for those considered for our program are the following:
- All pets must be spayed/neutered
- Owner must be receiving government assistance or meet our low income requirement
- A family member is asked to help build the kennel (if physically able)
- A family member is asked to "pay it forward" to help us build another families kennel (if physically able)
- Owner must agree to follow-up visits
