Toddie is 1 1/2 year old mix of some type of toad/frog and Terrier. He is an adorable little guy with googly eyes. He almost looks like a pug with no wrinkles. He surely has some Terrier in him as well. So our conclusion is - we just do not have a clue BUT what we do know is that he loves everybody and everything.
UPDATE: When Toddie was brought up from the South to his foster home, it was discovered that he has a small case of cherry eye. It does not bother him at all, but if his new adopters want to get it removed, it is a simple surgery that is not very expensive.
Help Save One, Inc does not have mandatory adoption fees although we appreciate any donations to help reimburse us for the vetting and transport of your dog. He comes with all his shots, neutered, fecal test, heartworm test, flea/tick treatment, dewormed, health certificate, and transport.

NO MANDATORY ADOPTION FEES!
We hope this idea works....we thought it was unique and made sense.
We no longer are asking an adoption fee for our dogs. We are asking you make a donation to us to help reimburse for your dogs vetting and transport. As many of you may know our adoption fees rarely even cover the cost of vetting and transporting the dog and NO profit is ever made at the end of the day. Maybe by letting people make a donation in the amount they feel the adoption is worth to them it will help get our dogs adopted but at the same time help us with expenses.
All our policies are still in place and you must make your donation at the time you sign the contract. Be ready to adopt when you apply!
Application STILL applies of course and so does the $50 application fee. We need to know you are serious.
So what is holding you back from adopting? Let's get these dogs into HOMES!.

Who We Are
Help Save One is a registered, non profit organization that functions as an advocate for dogs who are in danger of being gassed. We believe gassing is a barbaric way to euthanize an innocent animal. You will see it mentioned several times on our website but I want it in big capitals right here as well:
IF GASSING IS INHUMANE FOR CHILD MURDERERS AND SERIAL RAPISTS THEN WHY IS IT ACCEPTABLE FOR OUR INNOCENT ANIMALS?
The answer is very simple – It is not acceptable and never will be. Help Save One is a non political, humane, and caring organization with volunteers who work regular jobs and then spend countless hours every week into the wee hours of morning promoting these dogs.
We work on pulling the dogs of North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia. We are not opposed to pulling from other shelters but please note though that we can not always accommodate every request. I can make you a promise that we will always try to help. Our main focus are dogs in high kill, gassing shelters. They languish in rural shelters with very little help. There are volunteers at these shelters that work tirelessly but they are overwhelmed and outnumbered by the sheer numbers.
Why should these dogs be overlooked? Why do they need to wait to die while we work to get laws changed? We work very hard to change the way things are at a state and local level but is the answer to let beautiful dogs die a horrible death while us humans work on the specifics?
We have also recently began working closely with shelters that pull from puppy mills. The horrors that both the puppies and adults in these situations face is beyond horrible, and they deserve as much attention as the dogs being gassed. We have turned our attention to these dogs, as well as those being gassed.
Of course everything we do is just a band aid on a much larger issue - we need to educate and demand that each state have spay/neuter laws. Each person who adopts needs to start looking at their dog as their companion, child, and YOU are their protector. A dog is not to be dumped when you get pregnant, move, or get tired of them. These loyal creatures would give their life for you - we need to do right by them.
Of course we all feel bad for these dogs but pet ownership is a huge responsibility. These dogs deserve the best and a forever home is the goal. I have no doubt people will step up for these dogs in need. I am always amazed at the people who go through great lengths to save these dogs.

We are a RI based rescue league that adopts to many states. We primarily adopt to New England, but can also adopt to just about any state from GA to ME. We are foster based so we do NOT have a shelter where our dogs are housed. All our companion animals are in foster homes along the east coast.
