DASH: Dogs And Second Homes
At DASH, we’re a foster-based rescue committed to Giving Gary’s Pitbulls a Fast Track to Forever Homes. Our mission is focused on giving overlooked dogs—especially pitbull mixes—a second chance at the life they deserve.
Some of our dogs are currently in loving foster homes, learning what it means to feel safe and cared for. Others are still at Gary Animal Control, where they’ve spent long, lonely days waiting for someone to give them a way out.
Because we don’t yet have a physical facility, our work depends entirely on dedicated fosters and foster-to-adopt families willing to open their homes to dogs in need.
Interested in fostering or adopting?
Start by filling out a Foster or Foster-to-Adopt application at dashforpits.org.
Once approved, you’ll be matched with a dog in need of a fresh start. You’ll help begin their healing journey—we’ll take care of the rest. DASH fully covers medical care, including:
Spay/neuter
Vaccinations
Microchipping
Heartworm and flea/tick prevention
Full deworming
Any other necessary treatment
We also provide all essential supplies. All we ask from you is love, patience, and a safe space to help a dog start over.
Whether you foster, adopt, or do both—you are giving hope to a dog who has waited far too long. You are their second chance.
