Dogs Deserve Better
Sponsor Me for Your Holiday Gifts!

Do you want your holiday gift giving to be about something more important this year? Sponsor a formerly Chained Dog or Penned Dog this Holiday Season, and we will send your loved one a personalized gift letter with a picture of their sponsored foster dog and his/her story.

Imagine going from a chained or penned life, with little food, water, or comforts, to not only having all the warmth and love you need but also a great bed and toys too! Whether given as a gift to a loved one or as a treat for yourself, it’s a true treasure that will shine throughout the New Year.

Buddy, MD

Buddy is a black lab male, 4 yrs. old. He lived on a chain his entire life. He had no name, so Lynne and Sandy named him Buddy. He's heartworm positive, and the man agreed to give him up when he heard that.

He is scared of everything! He kissed Lynne's hand the whole time she drove from his house to Sandy.

To inquire about adopting Buddy, e-mail LYNNEROSIE@aol.com.

Buddy needs help for heartworm treatment, plus a bed, toys, and treats.

Pete, TX

Pete is a Pit Bull who was picked up in September by an ACOs in Galveston County, TX. He was dragging a heavy chain which was affixed with a pad lock around his neck.

Pete would love a new doggie bed, a new collar and leash, as well as some chew toys and some heartworm medicine for the coming year.

Barney Rubble, Tipton, PA

Barney is a 2 year old Beagle and Basset Hound mix. He is bigger and thicker than most beagles, and to us he is so cute in that Barney Rubble kind of a way, that we just can't help calling him that!

He is very affectionate and loving, and doing well with both cats and dogs.
