Dogs Deserve Better - MO

Dog rescue in Columbia, MO

We are a 501c3 not for profit organization dedicated to bringing chained and penned dogs into the home and family. Many times an owner will simply ask us to take the dog and find it an inside home. So many of these poor dogs have never been to a vet and these expenses add up quite quickly. We always test for heartworm/parasites and treat if they test positive, we always spay/neuter before adoption and all are up to date on vaccines.
We do accept donations and are always looking for good homes for our rescued friends. These dogs deserve a life free from chaining and penning and are so appreciative af any and all affection and Love they recieve.
