From dumped in Texas shelters, to rescued by Humane Tomorrow, transported to Helping Hounds Dog Rescue and adopted by loving families The Love on Wheels program’s mission is to reduce euthanasia of dogs in DFW area shelters by transporting them to areas where demand for adoptable dogs cannot currently be met. We call that Utopia…they call it DeWitt, NY. While there are lots of communities across t
he country who have done a great job of reducing their euthanasia rates, we selected Helping Hounds Dog Rescue to be our partner. They share our philosophy of matching dogs to the most appropriate homes and care for them like family during their stay there. We are truly fortunate to have found our rescue “soulmate” in this wonderful organization and grateful to them for helping us save so many dogs. HSFM and our partner organizations are in constant contact with north Texas shelters, particularly those in rural areas that have little space and get little foot traffic for adoptions. They are full ALL the time, and workers constantly struggle to find homes for great dogs who simply aren’t being seen. As soon as we have foster space available, we take in these dogs, get them all necessary veterinary care, and move them into an available foster home. Foster homes get to know the dogs, so they can tell us as much about them as possible when they head to New York to find permanent homes. They care for them for a few short weeks, and then send them on their way with a big hug and a few tears. It’s hard to say goodbye sometimes…but fosters know they are sending them to a better life, and that they can now go out and save another one. We call that ! And you can be part of it—just email [email protected] or complete the foster application at http://www.hsfm.org/programs/loveonwheels.html
