SOS ( stands for "Save Our Small") DOGS. Since 1990, SOS DOGS, a 501(c)3 non-profit small dog RESCUE, has been finding loving permanent homes for small dogs whose owners can no longer keep them (usually due to no fault of the dog). We also rescue small dogs from puppy mills and other sources. We are an advocate for small dogs, carefully screening prospective homes and selecting only the best for our fur children. We are a 501c3 registered non-profit organization, located in NJ but serving the entire mid-Atlantic region (MA to VA). All of our dogs are given needed medical treatment, altered, updated on shots and incredibly precious to us.
SOS DOGS is a RESCUE.....NOT A SHELTER!!!.A rescue is a private person or group of people who work diligently, with no pay, for the good of the animals they love. A rescue is a PRIVATE HOME and not a public place to visit. SOS Dogs does not have a shelter facility - all of our dogs are located in various homes in various places. Our foster care program allows us to really get to know each animal in a home setting. Because these dogs are in private homes, we will make special arrangements for our APPROVED potential adopters to meet the dog he wants, if a potential match seems likely. Our mailing address is an office location only and there are no adoptable pets there. Please respect our privacy and don't "drop by." Just follow our procedure and if your home is deemed right for the dog, we will arrange for you to meet the dog.. The procedure, requirements, a printable application and answers to all of your questions can be found at www.sosdogs.org
PUPPY MILL BREEDING DOGS: We also rescue breeding dogs out of puppy mills. These dogs have basically been concentration camp captives. They have spent their entire lives squashed in a small wire crate with other dogs, OUTSIDE in blizzards and heat waves and hurricanes. They have no protection, no warmth, and live on wire. When we get them they have never walked, never touched grass, never been bathed or brushed, never touched or played with or talked to. Despite this, it is AMAZING how they blossom!!! We bathe them, clean their ears and teeth, do all medical required such as altering, shots and any needed surgeries, heal all of their wounds on their bodies, and then they go into our loving foster homes to heal the wounds on their psyches. They learn that being in a house is a wonderful thing, and that being warm, on a soft bed, with good food and clean water is just amazing. Our experience has been that they follow the existing dog in the foster home. By watching and following, they sometimes learn to play with toys, but not always. They ALWAYS, and surprisingly rapidly, housebreak!!!! They ALWAYS give tons of undying love and gratitude for the good life you have given them. They ALWAYS are THE most rewarding adoption you could possibly every consider.
SOS adoption fees ( which include all needed medical, such as altering, all shots, required surgeries, dental and heartworm) are listed with each dog, along with procedure and an application. Please visit us at www.sosdogs.org
