OneDogAtATime

Dog rescue in Washington, DC

For the past ten years, I have placed dogs in the DC area. Most of them have come from the Director of the Wetzel County Animal Shelter in West Virginia. I have placed about 80 dogs in that time - usually just one dog at a time. I have recently begun working with a shelter in Mexico where I have a house (Sociedad Protectora de Animales) in San Miguel de Allende. We have had a large fundraiser and I will be bringing up five dogs at a time to find homes for over the next few years. SPA has a wonderful website which you can check out and we have a Facebook page about our project. We are bringing our first five up on April 5th 2019.

Please note: Almost all my dogs come fully spayed/neutered/vaccinated and healthy. I rarely have to use a vet for them, but have occasionally. The vet listed is primarily the one I use for my personal dogs. The Wetzel County Shelter would be a good reference for me.
