GARD is a 501(c)3 / 509(a)2 licensed non-profit no-kill animal shelter. We rescue dogs from high kill shelters and find them loving homes. We extensively promote the spaying and neutering of all companion animals. We operate solely on private donations and receive no funding from the state. We have devoted our lives to saving dogs and have sacrificed a lot personally to be able to live out a dream we have long held - to make a positive difference in how companion animals are treated.

Fees vary depending on the dog ($150 and up). Adopter must complete an application and be approved, then sign an adoption contract before taking possession of the dog. Adoption fee is non-refundable.
