Our mission is to provide temporary care and shelter for stray, abandoned and relinquished Dalmatians and to place as many as possible into responsible and caring homes.
Our team also works to create awareness and support for the humane treatment of all animals and to end animal overpopulation through education and the promotion of spaying and neutering.
Over the past few years and thanks to people like you, we have been able to save hundreds of dogs. Please help us save even more by volunteering your time or become a foster home or open you heart to a new addition to your family by adopting.
If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs, visit our website and fill out an online application. You can also find us on Petfinder.
