Dogs for Better Lives (formerly Dogs for the Deaf) is a national award-winning 501(c)3 nonprofit organization rescuing, professionally training, and providing Assistance Dogs since 1977. We have three Assistance Dog programs: Hearing Assistance Dogs placed nationally, Facility Assistance Dogs placed nationally, and Autism Assistance Dogs placed in Oregon, Washington, and California. Donations assist the organization in numerous ways, including: rescuing dogs all across the western United States, veterinarian expenses, professional training, placement with clients, and follow-ups during the lifetime of the dog. There is no charge to the client for one of our dogs.

Founded in 2015, Tails of the Trail acts as a Community Outreach program offering weekly public hikes with animal shelters/rescues. Our goal is to exercise and socialize homeless dogs, helping to reduce stress and euthanasia rates while increasing awareness to pet advocacy.

The Odd Cat Sanctuary is a nonprofit 501c (3) organization approved MA charity. Our mission with the Odd Cats of New England is simple, yet complex – our foundation regards the Odd Cats in every sense, be it a medical illness, a behavioral issue, abandoned, abused, neglected, feral, semi-feral, death row inmates, or physically challenged. While our cats cannot speak for themselves we have committed our time and effort to champion their cause. Cats have a magnificent presence that deserves to be defended through love, medical care, and affection in the fostering role first; and then with adoption options and placement in their forever home. We have developed the process toward adoption that supports our mission. Our adoption procedure is a three step method that nurtures a successful placement. Additionally, our rescue seeks to decrease the overpopulation in New England that is desperately challenged, this challenge to the overpopulation is where the Odd Cat thrives. We are entirely foster based, volunteer driven, and completely reliant on donations, contributions, and fund raising. Community support is our foundation.
