About four years ago we adopted our dog Brownie from you. She is doing great and loves giving her sister kisses, playing with her mom and going for walks. We recently moved to the country and she loves playing in her big back yard!

Our goal at For the Sake of Dogs is to help, save, heal and rehome every dog we can.
No matter the breed, size, age or health our mission is to advocate and provide a safe and
loving environment until their forever family can be found.
For dogs that can’t be adopted, we offer a sanctuary for life.
Every dog matters!
We are a non-profit, no-kill 501c3 organization. Your donations are:

our lives whole.”

Thanks To Everyone!
We couldn’t possibly care for the thousands of dogs that have crossed our path without support from our community and partners. Like all rescues, COVID hit us hard and stopped our in-person adoption events inside our local Petco stores. While we held private adoption appointments as often as possible, we found ourselves overflowing with dogs in need and not enough space to adequately house them until they could find homes.
Petco LOVE stepped up and awarded this grant, which allowed us to build more kennels and runs so our pups could stay safe, cool and enjoy a better quality of life –
until they find their forever families, of course.
Thanks to everyone who offers their time, talent and donations.
It takes a community to make a difference!

Kristi Forshee
AdopterWe’ve adopted three dogs over 13 years from For the Sake of Dogs because we believe in their mission. They worked with us each time to find the right dog that would fit well with our growing family. Barbara considered our current dog’s age and activity level, along with our daughter’s age before hand-selecting dogs for us to meet. I trust her completely.
Kim Deming
TeacherWhen I first met the volunteers at For the Sake of Dogs I could tell right away how special this organization truly was. The care, compassion, and advocacy they have as they introduce dogs to their potential new owners is unbelievable to watch. We’re so happy to have adopted Rain and Snow from Barbara and the FTSOD team! They’re the perfect match for our busy farm.

DonorMickey found a super sweet home with his new owner, who loves him very much. AND he got a new big sister in the bargain.

AdopterWe adopted Theo (formerly Elvis) over 2 years ago. He was a scrappy thing that loved to compete. He’s been AKC registered with the Pet Partners Program and has earned several titles! We love him!
Kat4Canines
AdopterMy husband and I adopted a little yorkipoo mix in December when she was just 12 weeks old. She was very shy and timid but is growing up to be such a sweet, loving girl! We have named her Poppy and our daughter and other dog love their new furry sister! She has been an amazing addition to our family.

AdopterThank you for helping to complete our family! Mila fits in so perfectly. She loves playing and cuddling with her big brother. She is so very sweet and energetic. We couldn’t ask for a better pup!

AdopterAlex and I couldn’t be happier with our two pups Lucky and Saphire. We came in because a friend of ours (who also adopted from you) recommended we check you out. We went to the Petco on Herndon & 99 on a Sunday looking for one dog to bring home. We absolutely fell in love with the puppies you had and couldn’t take just one.
