Once a Carolina Dog (mix) comes to our attention, the temporary foster and/or long-term foster is screened.
Dogs receive veterinary care, including spay/neuter, microchip, and heartworm maintenance.
Adoptive families are screened, and dogs are matched to compatible lifestyles.
Vetting, transportation, and caring for the rescues is expensive. Donations are appreciated.
Long-term fosters help groom dogs for their new home, teaching them routines, and in most cases, exposing them to love for the first time.
Even if you cannot keep a dog for any period of time, you can help by taking part in transporting animals over part of their journey to their new lives.
Dogs are matched to families by lifestyle and personality traits.
Networking is a huge part of saving dogs. Spreading the word on social media about a particular dog could save their life.
If you have short-term availability, you can make a big impact on CDM's ability to pull a dog from a shelter. The initial foster helps dogs to decompress after the stress of shelter life, and provide initial personality evaluation.
