What We Do

Canine Community's goal is to educate the public about the benefits of adopting a sheltered dog versus purchasing from a breeder, attend community events to talk to people, use social media to inform people about dogs available for adoption and raise money to help families adopt a sheltered dog that may not be able to afford the adoption fees.

1) Adopting a rescue or shelter dog brings many benefits such as:

• Many shelter dogs already have some training.
• Most dogs have had their essential vet needs met, including a microchip, vaccines, and spaying/neutering.
• Shelter staff can share info with you like a dog’s personality, so you know what to expect when you welcome your dog home.
• Some rescues and shelters allow for returns if you find the dog is not a good match for your situation.
• Mixed breed dogs typically have less inherited health problems.
• You can save the lives of two dogs — the one you adopt and the dog that takes their place in the shelter or rescue.
• Adult dogs tend to be potty-trained.
• The love and gratitude rescue dogs provide their new family are immeasurable.

2) We attend community events to get out and talk to people about adopting a sheltered dog.

3) We use social media to inform people about dogs available adoption.

4) Adoption fees may be up to $500+, which means some families may not be able to afford to adopt a dog. We raise money to cover adoptions for families that may not be able to afford the adoption fee.
