Dogs Hope.com is "staffed" by two volunteers. . . . Deb and Jan (staffed used loosely). We both live in Lake County about 30 miles East of Cleveland, Ohio. We are not a shelter or facility where the dogs are available for viewing or surrendering. . . we are two individuals with a love for the animals. We are two ladies who try to do everything within our limited powers to help any needy pet. We are not a 501c3 Charitable Organization. Maybe some day we will be a "real" charity, able to accept your donations giving you the ability to deduct them from your taxes. But for today, we can only say "thank you" when you donate and promise that every donation has gone to a spay/neuter, vaccinations, health check-up, heartworm check, heartworm treatment, worming meds, antibiotics for sick pets and all needed veterinary care for the animals that come through our rescue. Deb and I pay for all the above needed care out of our own pockets. Through our rescue are key words. . . remember we're not a shelter. When we have space in our homes we foster in our homes. . . when we don't have space in our own homes for a foster, we depend on angels that have opened up their homes to help us foster if there are not fosters available you will be asked to keep your dog until a home can be found. (we really need foster homes)
Please know and understand that prior to filling out the application for a dog, you are agreeing to us calling your veterinarian and verifying vaccine records you also agree to our coming to your home or another rescue coming to your home for a home visit. Please know that you will be required to sign an adoption contract to finalize the adoption.
