Mission Statement
To improve the quality of life for dogs living outdoors on chains and in too-small enclosures by building donor-funded fences, dog houses, and providing free spay/neuter services. We also work to raise awareness about the physical, mental and emotional needs of dogs and why chaining a dog is inhumane and dangerous.
Description
The work of Fences For Fido is deeply rooted in making that kind of change between a dog and his family, but our work does not end there. We create safer and improved conditions for chained dogs by providing shelter, veterinary care, and spay and neutering services when necessary. We work to educate families on how to best care for their four-legged family members during the heat of the summer and the cold, wet winter months. Twice a year our team of tireless volunteers visits all of the dogs in the FFF family to make sure they remain unchained, safe and healthy.
