Our Story
Three years ago, my wife Jan and I started trying to help Okanogan area dogs. There are no funded Humane Societies or shelters for Okanogan County dogs. There is no public money available at all to help out. Any effort has to come from the private sector both in terms of money and effort. We have been successful in helping almost 1900 dogs so far. We have done this by rapidly responding to dogs in need and by building confidence and trust. Our successful adoption rate nears 100% through the use of carefully chosen transfer partners who put local area dogs first. The euthanasia rate and overall fatality rate is less than 1%. So far almost all of our efforts have been paid for out of pocket. Most of our original expenses were out of pocket. As trust in us grows more peopled have chosen to donate. We maintain a vet emergency fund to assist injured and ill dogs who have no other resources available.We have become a 501(c)(3) non profit organization #01-0555614. Donations to help out are critical in the life saving work that we do and can be made through Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/fund/OKANDOGS/
