Our mission is to rescue, nurture and adopt homeless dogs into loving homes for good. We are a network of foster homes committed to the well-being of adoptable pets. We strive to give the dogs another chance at life.

Of them, 60percent (2.1 million) are dogs • gas chambers, lethal injection, heart stick • Georgia and South Carolina have the highest euthanasia and kill shelters in the United States • In Georgia, 65 – 70 percent, or 7 out of 10 dogs, animals admitted into the Augusta shelter were euthanized. This is well above the national average of about 50 percent. • In the South Carolina, the euthanasia rate was at 52 percent in 2013 according to the Aiken County shelter.
