Nonprofit Overview
Mission: The Dog Saving Network is our umbrella organization, all programs of which are designed to get homeless dogs happily housed. Our goal is to use positive reinforcement training—in the classes we offer (Show Dog U); in our theater-style performances (Life’s Ruff) and through a reality show—to educate through entertainment about the plight of so many dogs. We can do better, as a country and a people, and a little basic training would help dogs to focus and learn easy skills so they’re more easily adoptable.
Results: We’ve had great results. Last year we mounted a doggie game show in Chicago called “Life’s Ruff” wherein former shelter dogs were trained in three months to perform fun tricks on command, to the audiences great pleasure. If these dogs can do it, any dog can do it. That is our message.
Target demographics: People who own dogs, people who are thinking about getting a dog, people who know other people who would benefit from being better educated about dog ownership.
Geographic areas served: Chicagoland
Programs: Life's Ruff; Show Dog U; Saved!
