Spaying and neutering are core to responsible rescue work. Every year, millions of unwanted pets enter shelters across the country, and sadly, not all find homes. By ensuring that every Doodle Dandy Rescue dog who is medically able is spayed or neutered — or has a contract in place requiring sterilization at the appropriate age — we help break that heartbreaking cycle.

As much as we all love the amazing Thanksgiving food and festivities, so do our furry friends!

In the world of dog rescue, we see it all—matted fur, trembling paws, eyes that have forgotten how to hope. But we also see something else: the quiet miracle that happens when kindness is consistent, patient, and persistent. That miracle is trust. And trust, once earned, becomes the foundation for transformation. Positive reinforcement isn’t just a training method—it’s a love language.
