Dragon Dream

Our Mission: We work for the underdog- saving death row dogs. Dragon's Dream works to save dogs from high-kill shelters. We arrange and pay for transportation, veterinary care (including spay or neuter), temporary housing, and, ultimately, find the dogs homes where they will be able to live out the rest of their lives in a caring environment. In special cases, we also provide training for the dogs.The fact is that there are enough good homes for shelter dogs that euthanizing them is a tragedy of logistics, and nothing else.Our vision is a United States in which euthanizing dogs simply because the shelter is over-crowded is no longer done.None of this is cheap. A typical breakdown for rescuing a dog from a high-kill shelter looks something like this:• Bail (release from shelter): $20-$50• Veterinary care (shots, spay/neuter, health certificate, excludes special cases): $200• Transportation (volunteer saintly person, in a car, driving A to B and back again to A, often needing not just gasoline, but room and board for a night): $200• Foster home (while a forever home is sought, the dog must eat): $25/week• Training (for feral or abused dogs, this is necessary): $150The total ranges from $445 to $750 per dog, depending on how smoothly everything goes.
