Dream Fetchers: Project Rescue

Dream Fetchers, a 501 (c) 3, is a non-profit organization dedicated to the belief that through the unconditional love and support of an animal, any individual, in spite of their diagnostic or medical challenge, can be touched and encouraged by a friendly pup through a program of learning and engagement. Our programs bring persons and animals together to interact and bond, offering a wonderful distraction from pain, depression, hopelessness, and/or frustration; which we believe helps promote healing and well-being. Dream Fetchers focuses on the rescue, training, providing services of animal assisted activities/therapies, and community education of dogs through our five unique projects. Our dogs, all rescues from the streets and the shelters, were thrown away, banished from love simply because no one took the time to recognize the beauty and special gifts each animal had to offer. They quickly came to know the affection, compassion, and empathy they truly deserve. In turn, we take these virtues and extend to all people that same outpouring of adoration that the dogs return to us. It brings healing to the heart, mind, and soul. Our skilled and caring trainers and staff all share the same belief that through interaction with our canine helpers we can break through barriers. Each dog is trained and repurposed as they journey from death row to Hollywood to loving homes to hospitals to hospice with a new beginning. Our mission is to save dogs from euthanasia by giving them a “new leash on life” where they are a viable contribution to the social, emotional, physical, or educational well-being of humans. Through the gentle eyes of dogs, anyone can see and feel the love that only man's best friend innately delivers. Rescue: It's not a verb, it's a promise. A dog's affection is timeless, their devotion is ageless, and their love is forever. We can't change a dog's past but we can rewrite his future!
