Through our specialized Orphan Puppy Program, we provide round-the-clock care for puppies as young as 2–6 weeks old who arrive without their mothers. From bottle feeding to medical support to critical early socialization, our team is committed to raising these fragile lives in a way that prepares them not just to survive, but to thrive in loving forever homes.

But our work doesn’t stop there. We rescue puppies of all ages from crisis situations across the region ensuring they receive the individualized care, socialization, and love they need while we work to match them with the right adoptive family.

Whether just days old or a few months old, every puppy in our care is given the same promise: You are safe. You are loved. And your future matters.

But doing this work right requires more than heart.
It requires a home base built to meet their needs.

Why We’re Renovating — And Why We Need You

We've built so much on our own — and now we're asking for your help to cross the finish line.

We’ve been working tirelessly to convert the former Dogology space in Canton into a fully operational rescue facility. This new puppy headquarters is designed to support our growing programs and meet the needs of the puppies who depend on us most.

Thanks to grants, fundraising events, and sheer determination, we’ve already built:

But we're not done yet! We’re finalizing several projects to complete our new Puppy Headquarters — and we can’t do it without your help.

Why This Space Matters

Our in-house veterinary clinic is not just a treatment area—it’s a lifeline. This is where we triage, treat, and comfort puppies arriving from neglect, high-risk shelters, and life-threatening conditions. Here, we perform all necessary veterinary services, including routine vaccines, deworming, microchipping, laboratory testing, and even hospitalization when needed. Every puppy that comes through our doors receives the care, safety, and compassion they need to begin their journey toward a healthy, happy life.

It’s also the home of our Orphan Puppy Program, where puppies who’ve survived the critical neonatal stage now come together for crucial care and socialization.

This program was recently approved by our state animal control officer, and our team of volunteers visits around the clock to feed, clean, and nurture these fragile lives — all while helping them become confident, adoptable pups.

We’re also creating a dedicated community event space within the facility. This allows us to host meaningful, hands-on experiences—like our Puppy Happy Hour, Puppy Yoga, Prosecco & Puppies, etc —that bring people and puppies together. These events raise critical funds and awareness for our mission, and help fuel the work we do every day.

By completing this renovation, we’re building a home for our puppies—and a hub for the compassionate community that supports them.

And now, the next stage starts!

What We're Building:

New puppy meet-and-greet rooms
Easy-to-clean, safe flooring for tiny paws
Built-in seating for adopters
Events & education space
Dedicated veterinary treatment room
