Most of their rescued dogs come from local Animal Controls and shelters in the Northern Michigan area. Some of the dogs we rescue come to us with medical problems, broken bones, or are taken out of abusive and/or neglectful situations. They are then placed into a volunteer foster home that has opened their heart to give these precious dogs a second chance at life. They take in a lot of dogs that need extra care: pregnant, heartworm, behavioral issues. They train and work with these dogs so that we can place them with their perfect family.

We enable disabled veterans to live a more productive life through the use of service animals.
