In Gary, dogs like Chimney shouldn’t have to wait months for a chance at a home. But for a pitbull in a crowded shelter, every day counts.

DASH works directly on the front lines with Gary Animal Control. We are the bridge between the shelter floor and a forever home, focusing on the dogs who need a fast track to safety—the overlooked, the red-listed, and the urgent cases.

Saving a life isn’t a one time " yes." It takes consistency.

We created The DASH Foundation because hope doesn't pay the vet bills, stability does. Monthly donors are the bedrock of our mission. Your recurring support gives us the literal power to say “yes” the moment a call comes in, knowing the funds are already there to catch them.

When you join the Foundation, you help us:

Act Immediately: We cover intake vaccines and medical care the moment a dog leaves the shelter and enters a foster home.
Support Fosters: We provide our homes with everything they need—food, crates, and supplies—so they can focus on healing, not costs.
Take on Hard Cases: We step in for the hard cases and specialized medical needs that others have to pass over.
Build Stability: Your monthly gift moves us out of crisis mode and into a planned, sustainable future for Gary’s dogs.

This isn’t about flashy campaigns. It’s about real impact, real lives, and the grit it takes to change a dog's life.

Join The DASH Foundation. Be the bridge dogs like Chimney can rely on.
