Spay/Neuter Services

We are a relatively new rescue, started in early 2007, we started out to help reduce the amount of Bully breeds put down each year and to help current pet owners manage and train their pets to keep them in their homes. We have expanded to other types of dogs and cats and small animals as we have the room for. We are made up of all volunteers, and are not for profit.

We were started two years ago to try to decrease the cat overpopulation problem in our largely rural area of Plain City, Ohio. We do trap-neuter-return (TNR) of feral and stray cats. We also help low income people get their cats spayed/neutered. Out of these efforts, we always find cats/kittens that are friendly and so we do adopt out these animals. We have cage space at PetSmart, which does help us find a great many homes. Our area consists of a great number of farms and low income people who do not get their cats fixed. It is a huge problem that we are working to solve.

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.

Salem Friends of Felines is a no-kill cat rescue and placement organization with a 501c3. Also providing low cost spay/neuter to anyone, no questions asked.

We are a non-profit shelter that accepts animals from our county. We have gone from a high kill shelter to a low kill within the last 3 years. We strive to rehome and train the animals that are brought to us. We are the only shelter in our town, only other alternative is the Dog Pound.

I love dogs. They have given me so much through my life when I had troubles as a child and adult. I want to give back what they've given to me. We are a private and small organizaiton and are not funded in any way except small donations and adoption donations. We work with local shelters in Atlanta, Orlando, Orange Park, Broward County, Jacksonville, and other cities to pull dogs that are deemed unadoptable. We also accept owner surrenders.
