Our goal will always be to rehabilitate and socialize our dogs to prepare them for life with families that demonstrate responsible and caring pet ownership. Our mission is driven from passion and a genuine love for all animals.  We also strongly believe that educating children should be combined with rescue work to truly make a positive difference in future generations to come for both animals and people. Having compassion for animals also relates to people too. Through education, we can change the world... one child, one dog at a time.

We are a grassroots organization and are 100% volunteer-run and donation-funded! Our Mission: To heal the sick and injured/orphaned animals brought to us and ready them for release back into our Urban Wilds. To educate people of all ages in the wonder and enjoyment of wildlife and nature and why it is so vital we protect it. To teach patience and compassion so that urban wildlife is viewed in a more positive light by everyone- not as pests, but as important co-habitators of our environment.
