OUR MISSION
Our mission is to provide shelter to homeless and owner surrendered dogs in an effort to give them a second chance at finding their forever homes. We accomplish this through foster based initiatives, responsible pet ownership education, and a supportive rescue community in Wisconsin and surrounding areas.
Our next transport is coming up in May 2026 with Habersham County Animal Shelter in Georgia! Please check back to see the dogs available for adoption and who might be the perfect fit for your family. All of the pups need a FOSTER or an ADOPTER to secure their spot on the truck. We also still have many dogs in foster homes who are looking for their forever homes! Check them out on our ADOPT page today!
UPCOMING TRANSPORT:
May 29th, 2026
Tuesday 7/7 | 6:35PM (Gates open 5:35PM) | 1011 Blue Ribbon Circle N., Oconomowoc

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
We are always in need of fosters! Consider opening up your home to a dog in need and being part of their journey home.
There is something for everyone depending on your skills and time commitment such as event planning, social media, transport help. Apply today to volunteer!
Every donation big or small is appreciated and makes a difference in the lives of our dogs!
