Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Animals
Mission: Dog lodge sanctuary is dedicated to providing a permanent home for senior and/or special needs dogs that otherwise might face a very bleak future but in the right environment can still lead a quality life. We are focused on providing a safe, loving, healthy and stable environment for our dogs so that they may know peace and dignity for the rest of their lives. The primary function of dog lodge is to come to the rescue of dogs that are, for all intents and purposes, considered unadoptable because of advanced age or because they have chronic illness or physical disabilities. The sanctuary is an alternative to life on the streets, abuse, neglect, fighting, and euthanasia. Here is an opportunity for those dogs to be in a place where they can belong; where they can be happy, where all of their special needs can be met where they can love and be loved.
Programs: Dog lodge sanctuary (dls) has not yet begun its operation. We are awaiting the completion of the facility that is being built for dls and which dls will lease. It is expected that we will be able to move in and start work in the spring of 2018. We have begun networking with various rescues and shelters that will be sending dogs to dls. We have begun to lay foundation for three programs as part of our community outreach plan: 1) bringing an established educational program called "heart" (teachheart. Org) to area schools; 2) establishing relationships with various veterans groups; and 3) promoting spay/neuter clinics both in conjunction with established spay/neuter groups and, in the very near future, sponsoring our own spay/neuter program. Additionally, we have been moving forward with the development of a solid fundraising program with our first event on april 21st, 2018.
