Dogs Deserve Better of Indiana

Mission Statement

Dogs Deserve Better's mission is to bring dogs into the home and family from a chained or penned existence. The organization addresses three aspects of societal needs to accomplish this mission: Education, Legislation, and Rescue and Rehabilitation. Through education we elevate individual standards for animal treatment through direct one on one and group contact; through legislation we create more humane laws to protect dogs from living at the end of a chain for life or enclosed in a small space with little to no human contact; and through rescue and rehabilitation we create better lives for individual dogs by fencing yards, helping with housetraining, and fostering, spay/neuter, and finding the dog a new inside home and family
