These dogs and cats are our of options, but because of our hospice program they are able to have a loving family in their last days and pass with the respect and dignity every living being deserves.

And by encouraging owners to get their dogs involved in obedience, agility, tracking, weight-pulling, and therapy work.

Moving to Mena, Arkansas, from Shreveport, LA, I immediately went into volunteering with a rescue group, there were so many homeless, people didn't get the pets altered, working at the low cost spay and neuter clinic, for twelve years. I have been in animal welfare for 12 years. For seven years I helped another group and then decided to start my own, I did not like going to locations, adopting out dogs without knowing what kind of home that it was going to live. Now I feel comfortable knowing that these babies are going to loving, caring homes. We have been in operation for almost five years and have adopted many.

The FernDog Rescue Foundation’s founder and director, Fernando Camacho, has been working with animal rescue groups and shelters for his entire career as a dog behavior consultant and trainer. These dedicated groups typically rely solely on volunteers that work tirelessly trying to save as many animals as they possibly can. Unfortunately, these groups often lack the funding, time and resources to better accomplish their work. One of the things that hit Fernando the hardest was realizing that although the dogs staying at shelters were physically cared for, their mental health deteriorated daily. With each day a dog spends in an animal shelter, his chances for adoption decline due to the psychological effects of the typical shelter environment. It’s not the animal shelter’s fault – they do the best they can with what they have. The problem is that they have so little available to them to make any kind of change, and that’s why The FernDog Rescue Foundation was formed. The mission of The FernDog Rescue Foundation is to help dogs at risk by providing foster homes that will nurture their physical and emotional health, help locate the ideal forever homes for them while providing support and training to help assure that their stay in their new homes is permanent. In addition we focus on developing programs to promote pet adoption services and raise public awareness by providing community education of the issues surrounding animal rescue. We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
