Mission: Promises Animal Rescue, Inc is a volunteer dog rescue organization dedicated to rescuing german shepherds and labs in shelters where they are at high risk of euthanasia, dogs given up by their owners because of difficult circumstances, and those in danger of abuse or neglect.
Promises Animal Rescue, Inc is also dedicated to teaching awareness, education, help and mentoring public and veterinarians the skills on caring for special need dogs with mega esophagus.
We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process and will continue to be a helpful resource after you have welcomed your new pets into your life...
We are determined to keep administrative expenses extremely low so that virtually every dollar taken in goes directly to the care of the dogs. Our group remains interested in and committed to the welfare of the dog beyond the adoption process, with regards to care, education, resources, training
Target demographics: German Shepherds and Labrador Retrievers, dogs with Megaesophagus
Direct beneficiaries per year: 80
Geographic areas served: Commonwealth of Virginia
Programs: Rescuing, Rehabilitate, Re-home German Shepherds and Labrador Retrievers who are in danger of euthanasia. We strive to help those families who may be struggling with giving up their pets. Most of time this is fixable, guidance, support or mentoring them thru the most difficult time.
We also provide support, information, guidance to owners whose dogs have a condition called megaesophagus.
I began as a volunteer at adoption events with Promises Animal Rescue this year, and after a few months I knew I wanted to be a foster mom as well. P.A.R.'s Debbie Thomas is an amazing lady who works non-stop and is completely devoted to finding that forever home for each dog rescued. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to be part of an organization so dedicated to rescuing dogs from high risk shelters, are in an abused situation, or from owners who can no longer provide the proper care. Fostering has been a rewarding experience, caring for these dogs and puppies who may not have had the opportunity to be loved and cared for. Though a bit sad, it has been a joy to see my fosters with their new families. I admit, I was taken by surprise when my husband and I recently adopted one of our fosters. We had no intention of looking for a second family dog when I brought in the fosters. However, after watching this puppy's interaction with our older dog, we see how he has helped her overcome her shyness. We fell in love with this puppy and knew we wanted him to become one our family members and a companion for dog Hope. Thank you P.A.R. for sending us this bundle of joy! I look forward to continue fostering with P.A.R.
