- After
your meeting with the dog, the foster parent will consult with the director and we will
schedule a visit to your home.

Can't
Adopt - Donate and Help Us Save A Dog!
We
are always in need of donations. We will accept anything. We are in need of dog food,
crates, collars, leashes, toys, shampoo, garbage bags, paper towels, bleach and baby
wipes. We are also collecting used inkjet cartridges and cell phones that we can recycle
and get money for. Gas cards are always appreciated as we spend a lot of money on gas for
transporting, home visits and vet visits. We will also accept items that we can place for
sale on EBAY to raise funds to help with our outstanding medical bills. Monetary donations
are also graciously accepted.

There is None - Rescue One
