LAST DITCH DOGS - saving dogs from immediate euthanasia
The euthanasia crisis of adoptable dogs continues! Shelters, rescues and fosters are out of room to take more animals and so the poor dogs are euthanized due only to lack of space.
Arcadia Animal Rescue, with the help of Last Ditch Dogs, is working to build a climate controlled building that will simulate a home environment to extend the time for adoptable dogs while foster to adopt homes are found! We hope to turn this land into a sanctuary in the future. No donation is too small to save these sentient lives.
Our other goals focus on preventing the issue at its source - deliberate and not deliberate breeding. We are working to send a van to high euthanasia counties to spay animals for free.
With much appreciation and gratitude,
all the Last Ditch Dogs
