Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

We are a small group of experienced rescuers, having volunteered with other organizations in the past. We saw a need for shelter rescue in our area, and felt someone needed fill the void. There are amazing dogs dying in shelters, dogs that bring joy to families, they just need a chance. We give them a chance.

We rescue, rehabilitate and re-home Shih Tzu and other toy breed dogs from a variety of situations. We pull from a number of shelters in and around Ohio; we take in breeder releases from commercial breeding facilities and owner surrenders as space permits. We do this so that hopefully we can reduce the number of Shih Tzu and other breeds euthanized in shelters due to space and place all of our dogs in loving permanent homes.

we rescue cocker spaniels from kill shelters, owners ect and rehome then after vetting them

Beagles & Buddies rescues purebred and mixed Beagles, as well as other hounds and small dogs, from public shelters, dog owners and other rescues. Each dog receives a medical exam and any necessary medical and other treatment. All vaccinations are updated based on the history available for the dog. Beagles & Buddies spays or neuters all dogs to assist in the fight against pet overpopulation. We observe their temperament and personality and match them up with other kennel buddies they can play with. Beagles & Buddies finds safe, new homes for almost all of its dogs. In accordance with our no-kill policy, our rescue facility keeps any dog that is not adopted.

Diane started doing fostering at the Sioux Falls Humane Society and then Pet Pals for Life. She had a passion for dachshunds. We noticed that the Sioux Falls area had a need for a dachshund rescue so her and I (Doug) started DDR. The response and need was much greater than we anticipated.

We work with the rescue, adoption & sanctuary of companion animals, equines and some exotics. We also provide spay/neuter assistance as well as transport for other rescue groups. We pull from our local kill shelters as well as accepting owner surrendered animals. We are a no kill group who works hard to keep animals out of our kill shelter by intercepting them prior to them being sent. All our animals will stay with us until homes or other rescues can be found for them. We do NOT euthanize for space but for that reason we have a limited number of animals that we can take at any time.
