Canine Connection All Breed Dog Rescue, Inc.

We started our rescue in 2003. Our work basically consisted of pulling adoptable dogs from death row at kill shelters in our surrounding area (4 kill shelters). We then progressed to taking in pregnant dogs from those same shelters (which were going to be PTS pregnant, and then ventured out to putting an end to confirmed puppy millers in our area, which we found there were many. We have officially found good homes for 731 dogs/pups to date and 40-some cats/kittens since we began. Our operation basically consists now as a sanctuary for those dogs and cats that never found a forever home or were adopted and returned to us because the adoption did not work out. We ended up with about 65 animals in our sanctuary, which as the sole caretaker and provider, has been a constant challenge to stay ahead of vet bills, medicines, emergencies and the final act of kindness. We are currently down to 30 dogs, most of whom are either seniors with serious health conditions or middle-aged dogs with issues, being that of health and/or behavior problems. We do try to help in life or death cases when the opportunity is right, and this is why we are joining up with Doobert.

Each dog that we pull from a shelter will have individual needs. Some have been abused/neglected, etc. So we will have to set the guidelines as we go for these animals.
