Our mission is to rescue and rehabilitate dogs in need, providing them with safe housing, essential veterinary care, and nutritious food. We are dedicated to supporting animals who have endured neglect or abandonment by offering compassionate care and a path to a loving forever home. Through community education, we aim to raise awareness and teach practical approaches to working with animals affected by emotional or physical trauma. Our work also supports the shelters and staff who give these animals a second chance, ensuring they have the resources needed to continue their vital care.

We are based out of Hyde Park, Vermont. We focus on dogs in Lamoille County.
