Save A Dog
Save A Dog 5th Annual Benefit Auction About Save A Dog Save A Dog, Inc. is a non-profit dog rescue group, started in 1999 in response to the urgent situation with dogs all over this country being euthanized needlessly. Every year 4 – 6 million dogs are put to sleep because there is simply no place for them to go. There are so many more dogs being born than there are people to adopt them and many of the people who adopt puppies won’t or can’t commit to them for life, so it makes for an awful situation. Dogs are companion animals destined to be with people, not living outside in the elements or in city-run shelters, so our goal is to try to help as many as we can with as many volunteers and supporters as we can inspire to help. We provide our rescued dogs with loving care, medical treatment, and a place to stay while we are searching for a loving permanent home. The dogs are evaluated for temperament, brought up-to-date on vaccinations and adults are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. All prospective adopters are evaluated with the goal of ensuring that the dogs have appropriate homes and do not end up on death row again. Save A Dog organizes an extensive network of foster “parents” and volunteers to care for the rescued dogs prior to their adoption. Living in a foster home allows the dogs to assimilate themselves into a home environment and protects them from the stress and health risks of residing in a shelter on a long-term basis. It also facilitates the emergence of a dog’s true personality so that the best match with an adopter can be made. To pay our day-to-day operating costs, we depend entirely upon private donations and fundraisers held throughout the year. Every single dollar we raise makes a difference in the life of a dog. P.O. Box 1108, Framingham, MA 01701-1108 (508) 877-1407 ~ contact@saveadog.org www.saveadog.org 2 A Guide to the Auction We are offering our guests both a silent and a live auction today.
