Emaciated Black and Tan Coonhound Mother Abandoned with Her 10 Four Week Old Pups!

Please help us save this mom and her tiny puppies by donating today.

I was abandoned on the side of the road with my puppies. I am a sweet girl who will need a lot of medical attention before I am ready for adoption. I am not out of the woods yet, but my chances are looking better now. Please help by donating today.

Dog4U, Inc. has been awarded a grant in the amount of $4000.00 for an on-site Animal Medical Recovery Room through the Meacham Foundation Memorial Grant Program, part of the American Humane Association! Our goal is to raise matching or exceeding funds. Can you help today?

Sanctuary Resident "Chance" Gets Yet Another Chance Through DogLeggs

Chance was given his name and his second chance when he was found by a Dog4U volunteer. His next chance came when his successful cancer surgery was sponsored several years ago. In recent months Chance lost his ability to walk or stand up due to shoulder instability. He is now getting around and even managing the stairs by himself thanks to his sponsor's purchase of the Dogleggs Shoulder Stability System. Chance is shown below enjoying his new lease on life!

Buckskin Gelding Abandoned

A 10-12 year old Buckskin gelding was abandoned in the Dog4U driveway at the beginning of May. "Buck" has an old injury that was not treated, making him very hard to place. He would make a great pasture buddy. Please help sponsor him today.

Our Mission

To provide shelter and sanctuary for unwanted and abandoned animals, and to aid in the prevention of cruelty to animals and to promote humane treatment.

About Dog4u, Inc.

Dog4U, Inc. started as a private rescue in 2003 in South Carolina. We became incorporated in 2005, and have now received our 501c3 tax deductible non-profit status. Our goal is to save as many animals as possible with a no kill policy. We take dogs from shelters, which due to the overwhelming number of dogs, have no choice but to euthanize healthy 6 to 8 week old puppies and otherwise adoptable, friendly, healthy adults as well. We take in stray dogs and a limited number of cats. We also have abandoned horses, and a few cows.

All donations go directly and exclusively towards the needs of the animals. Dog4U, Inc. runs on a volunteer and family basis.

Dog4U, Inc. is working on procurring funding to enlarge our quarantine area and to add training facilties and more indoor housing. Many of the dogs and puppies come to us needing months of isolation, treatment, and training before they are ready for adoption.

We currently work with No-Kill Shelters primarily in the New England area, that are not over-burdened and adoption percentages of the animals are very high. We adopt locally, although the majority of our dogs are adopted through our transport program which takes these dogs 1100 miles to New England. We take our dogs to non-kill facilities in Massachusetts, and New Hampshire and are working on placing dogs in Connecticut.  There is a high demand for animals in the New England Area, waiting lists for puppies are months long year round. 

Why help the southern dogs in particular when there are so many to save elsewhere? Because the situation for the southern dogs is dire. Local no-kill shelters and rescues are overwhelmed and constantly full due to over population. Animal welfare laws are not yet fully developed, and there is not sufficient funding for animal control officers to keep up with demand. There are few leash laws so many dogs roam freely. Spay and Neuter programs can't keep up, leading to packs of dogs living wild in the woods. Everyday there are dog and puppy casualties on the side of the road. For now, for many of the ones we can save, the journey north is their best chance for adoption. These dogs need you and your support.

Dog4u, Inc. is run by a few private donations and by a three-person cleaning and feeding crew. Volunteers and foster homes are always much appreciated, since many of the dogs need socializing, extra attention and love.

      Toomba is our Featured Pet of the Season

Toomba was just diagnosed with operable bone cancer. He was one of the 10% of dogs diagnosed with bone cancer that had not yet spread to his lungs. Immediate amputation of his right hind leg was necessary to save his life, and most importantly, to keep him comfortable. The surgery was sucessful and Toomba has now recovered and is enjoying life with his sister Katie. His medical bills have piled up. Help sponsor Toomba in his continued monitoring throughout this process.
