About Dog4u

Dog4U, Inc. started as a private rescue in 2003 in South Carolina. We became incorporated in 2005, and have now received our 501c3 tax deductable non-profit status. Our goal is to save as many dogs as possible with a no kill policy. We take dogs from the kill shelters, which due to the mass numbers of dogs, have to euthanize healthy 6 to 8 week old puppies and 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. Dog4U, Inc. is working on getting funding to enlarge our quarantine area, since some of the dogs and puppies come to us needing months of treatment before they are available for adoption.

Dog4U, Inc. has a transport program that takes these terrific, underprivileged dogs 1100 miles to New England. We take our dogs to no kill facilities in Massachusetts, and New Hampshire and are working on placing dogs in Connecticut and Maine.

Why help the southern dogs in particular when there are so many to save elsewhere? Because the situation for the southern dogs is dire. The animal welfare laws are few and far between, and there is not enough funding for the animal control officers to keep up with the demand. There are few leash laws so most dogs roam freely. Spay and Neuter programs can't keep up, leading to packs of wild dogs living in the woods. Everyday there are dog and puppy casualties on the side of the road. We can't make a huge difference without changing the laws, but for the ones we can save, the journey north is their only chance. 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.
