Medical Costs for lost/abandoned animals at the Shelter.  Many animals arrive at the Shelter in need of medical treatment.  D.A.W.G. pays for necessary tests, treatment and medicines to bring these animals back to good health.

Surgery for animals that require life-saving procedures, from mending broken legs to having delicate eye and ear surgery.

Foster Care - D.A.W.G. recruits families to provide in home care for baby animals until they are old enough to be placed for adoption.

Dental Costs for animals that have severe problems with their teeth, including abscesses and gum diseases.

Adoption Promotions - D.A.W.G. is bringing the Shelter to the community.  We encourage shelter adoptions through advertising and attending local "Adoption Day" promotions.

Spay/Neuter Costs - in our efforts to prevent unwanted litters, we contribute some of our proceeds to spaying and neutering many of the animals before they are adopted to a new home.

Training - obedience or behavioral training for dogs who may require professional training once they are adopted by a new family.  Click here to see one of our training tips (Real Video; 4 mb; 2 min.) Click here to get Real Player.

Special-Needs Animals - Our "Angel Program" was initiated to assist families who adopt a pet with special on-going medical treatment or medication.  D.A.W.G. also furnishes kitten and puppy formula for abandoned "wee-ones," vitamins or dietary supplements to insure many of these animals are nursed back to good health.
