K9 Rescue and Sanctuary

Dog rescue in Dunnellon, FL

I have been rescuing dogs for many years, but just recently started getting more officially involved. It started with a rescue last year, Michael. He was being tethered to a trailer in the back yard 24/7 in the extreme summer heat and horrible thunderstorms. Animal Services were full so they were not doing much so I worked with the family for about a month before I was able to get them to surrender him to me. I wasn't able to keep him due to his size so I found him a wonderful home. That really inspired me and not long after I was given the opportunity to rescue 2 dogs from really deplorable conditions and again, due to size, had to adopt one out. He went to a wonderful home in Missouri. I was able to keep his senior mom. She has been through enough in her life I did not want to put her through another transition. That is the sanctuary part of the organization. So now I would like to put up some more fencing and make some other modifications to that I can take in a few more dogs and hopfully find them wonderful homes as well so I can continue to help more. There are so many in need. Shelters and rescues all seem to be full and there is a shortage of fosters available. I would love to team up with some amazing people who can assist me so we can provide help for even more.
