Help Save Abandoned and At-Risk Dogs
Every donation helps abandoned and at-risk dogs get safety, veterinary care, and a second chance at life.
Through my rescue work and See Spot Stay, I help coordinate support for dogs that have been abandoned, dumped, or overlooked by overcrowded shelters. Donations help cover food, veterinary care, transportation, and temporary boarding for dogs that otherwise may not receive help.
​
Many of the dogs we help would not survive without people willing to step in and make their rescue possible.
Donations sent via Venmo support dog rescue efforts through See Spot Stay and are not tax-deductible.
Why So Many Dogs End Up on the Street
Dogs are abandoned, neglected, and dumped every day while shelters and rescues struggle with severe overcrowding.
Backyard breeding continues to produce more puppies than homes available for them. When breeders cannot sell the dogs, many are abandoned or surrendered. At the same time, many people unknowingly purchase dogs online believing they are rescuing them from a bad situation, when in reality they are often supporting irresponsible breeding operations.
This cycle continues while thousands of healthy, adoptable dogs remain in shelters or on the street.
​
Why Many Dogs Never Receive Help
Rescues and shelters across the country are overwhelmed and forced to limit intake.
Many organizations must choose only the easiest dogs to place because they lack the resources to help dogs that need extra time, training, or medical care. Dogs that might only need a little support are often left behind simply because rescues are already operating beyond capacity.
​
Without additional help from the public, many of these dogs never get the chance they deserve.
How Donations Help
Your support helps provide:
• emergency veterinary care
• food and supplies for rescued dogs
• safe temporary boarding
• transportation to fosters, rescues, and adopters
​
Even small donations can make a meaningful difference when multiple people contribute to helping a dog in need.
​
Other Ways You Can Help
Not everyone is able to donate, but there are still ways to make a difference.
You can help by:
• sharing rescue dogs that need homes
• supporting foster programs
• helping coordinate transport for dogs moving to rescues or adopters
• educating others about responsible breeding and adoption
Every action helps move one more dog toward safety.

Important
I do not operate a rescue or adoption facility and cannot take in dogs directly unless they are coming in for training connected to a rescue placement.
​
However, through my rescue work and network of rescuers, I help support dogs that are often overlooked — dogs that need transportation, temporary care, training, or coordination with rescues that are able to take them.
​
Donations help cover the real-world costs that many people do not realize are part of rescue work, including transport, short-term paid foster support, food, crates, bedding, collars, leashes, and training when needed — giving overlooked dogs a chance to be safely placed and eventually adopted.
​
How Your Donation Helps Dogs in Need
Even small donations can directly help a dog move one step closer to safety.
• $10 - food and basic supplies for a rescue dog
• $25 - one day of rescue-rate boarding
• $50 - transportation to a foster, rescue, or adopter
• $100 - training support to help a dog become adoptable
​
Every contribution helps dogs that might otherwise be passed over simply because they require a little extra support.
We Need to Help Them
Some dogs are easy to place. Others need a little more help, time, or advocacy before someone sees their potential.
Those are often the dogs that fall through the cracks.
Your support helps provide the resources needed to step in when no one else can - giving these dogs the chance they deserve to find safety, stability, and a home.
