We need your help! With your support, we can continue to help improve the lives of a huge number of dogs and reduce the number of healthy, adoptable dogs destroyed each year.

Make a Difference

With your help, we know we can make a difference. Time is running out for many dogs and there is no time like the present to start to make a change!

Tough Times

We understand that the economy is difficult right now, but if lots of people contribute just a small amount, The Dog Saving Network will have some of the tools needed to make a difference for a great many dogs.

With Your Help

With your help, we will:

Continue to produce stage shows so that we can get our messages out in a fun, educational format.
Continue to offer low cost training and consultations to shelters, rescue groups and individual rescuers. We do not wish to take away from the already tight budgets of the organizations and individuals doing some important work out there.
Develop our own foster care program. We are currently looking for people in Chicago who wish to foster a dog with The Dog Saving Network. One of the requirements of a foster candidate is that they will need to be willing and able to learn how to train and to spend time each day training their foster dog. We need donations so we can supply all of our dogs with proper behavioral and medical care and give our volunteers the tools they need to be a successful foster home.
Build our own facility. Our proposed “Rescue and Awareness Center" will be an extremely unique experience. This center will provide us with a permanent shelter space and will be committed to making training a part of the daily life of all the dogs that come through our doors. Every person who works at the center will also be taught how to train. Whether they are adoption counselors educators, environmental services technicians or part of the management team, everyone will be taking an active role in training each and every day. It is our goal that all dogs will be AKC Canine Good Citizen certified before they are eligible for adoption and we will provide a comprehensive training plan for all dogs leaving our care including lifetime training support for new owners.

The Dog Saving Network is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible. Thank you for supporting The Dog Saving Network!

Entertain.

DSN trains dogs, many of which have been cast off. Dogs and their owners learn to do cool tricks and put on a great show. Audiences are amazed and leave, smiling, to spread the word. It's that easy. It's that fun. It's that powerful.

Educate.

There are many organizations trying to teach the public about making the right choices for dogs. Our message is also to educate. Our wish is to change the way that message is delivered.

Inspire.

DSN inspires dog lovers to action, and Life's Ruff is our contribution. What better way to show that homeless dogs deserve a chance at life? We help people discover the power to make positive changes for dogs in the U.S.

Act.

We believe that each of us has the ability to improve the lives of dogs one training step at a time. Get active in your community. Rescue a dog. Invest in your future with positive reinforcement training. Be part of the solution.
