Municipal shelters are designed for safety and intake, not long-term medical recovery. In Gary, a dog’s outcome can depend on a vetting bill the system cannot afford.

That’s where DASH comes in.

DASH serves as the medical bridge for Gary’s most overlooked dogs, especially pitbull-type breeds. We provide the high-velocity medical intervention needed to move dogs from municipal kennels into recovery, foster homes, and ultimately, forever homes.

To mark one year of DASH, we are launching the Founding 100.

We are seeking 100 local businesses, professionals, and community leaders to each give $100 to build the $10,000 baseline for our 2026 Emergency Veterinary Fund.

A $100 tax-deductible gift secures your place as a Founding Partner.

This isn't just a donation.
It's a medical "Yes" for a dog that has only ever heard "No."

Join the DASH Founding 100 and help build the medical bridge for Gary’s dogs.
