I've been following their stories for several months now and love how they are helping dog owners keep their fur babies safe and free. I have plans to volunteer with Fences for Fido in the near future, as I believe in their cause. Thank you. Carol Sherrell

My friend was stress because she moved on a property that had no fences the safety of her dogs was her utmost concern. I found fences for Fido and they came out right away took one look at the property and knew what they had to do. They've given my friend some peace of mind and they've ensured the safety of the dogs. This group is wonderful.

Fences for Fido is an amazing group of dedicated and hardworking volunteers who ensure that every dog they can reach lives their lives unchained and has room to run courtesy of the free fencing and fence builds they provide. Sometimes they only hear about a dog at the end of their life, but even a few days or months of freedom are life changing for the dogs they help. Seeing the zoomies of dogs newly freed from tethering is breathtaking and beautiful!

I personally have been fortunate with my dogs & was able to provide our own fence. However, I know many families don’t have the means & they want to keep their dog safe, therefore, they keep them tied up. With no judgement, “Fences For Fido” has worked tirelessly to raise money to provide a fence, dog house & toys not just to comply with the “tethering law”, but for the safety & well being of a family pet. Kudos to this organization & to all the volunteers & businesses who help make this possible unchaining one dog at a time!

Fences For Fido are miracle workers in my opinion. As a dog lover, I had watched several dogs changed for several years, to guard a business near me. Neighbors including myself tried with no avail to get rescue organizations to help in this dire situation.When I heard of this group, they were called. They came immediately and began their work to unchain what turned out to be 5 dogs scattered around the property. Some were hidden in dark, muddy areas surrounded by bushes and work trucks. Most were isolated from each other. Puppies and two of the chained dogs were relinquished and adopted out. Dogs remaining received their own fenced yard with dog house, bedding, straw over muddy areas, toys, treats and several return visits by the volunteers who had fallen in love with these dogs. All were spayed and neutered. Some had extra vet visits for their health. It has been a year since FFF began helping the "Railroad 5" and their tireless efforts still continue to this day for these 5 dogs. Fences For Fido and their members exemplify to me, that helping dogs doesnt stop at food, water and shelter. They are raising the standard for truly helping dogs. This is the way it should be and I am glad to see this first hand. They have changed the lives of Gordo, Nike, Dodger, Tryke and Shanaenae, and hundreds of others and changed my life too.
