Dogs Who Need Sponsors
LILY
Lily thanks you for all the donations on Giving Tuesday!
Lily is recovering from Pneumonia and your donations helped pay for her hospital stay, which exceeded $4,000. She is feeling 100% better and is ready to start meeting her potential adopter. She's a nice dog who deserves a great home. Lily is a 3 year old English Chocolate Lab whose family had to give her up. She has always lived in a home. She rides well in the car. Available soon. Donations appreciated! She is available to meet and will be able to go home as soon as her antibiotics are finished.
Thank You All!
Thanks to everyone who donated on this Giving Tuesday, raising over $30,000 even before the matching donations. It felt like Christmas all day, from the minute we logged in in the morning and saw the
donations pouring in, including when we pulled up to the shelter and ran into some dear adopters and supporters. Some of you stopped by and handed us checks, some adopters
brought their dogs to visit, and one of our volunteers drove up with five very special dogs who were rescued from the Amish breeders – thanks to you all these dogs will
have a chance of living out their lives in a home and not in a barn – Now they have a chance to be loved, thanks to all of you!!
Our hearts are full knowing that we can continue this blessed calling of rescuing the innocent and well-deserving souls thanks to all the generous support from our volunteers,
our adopters, and our community! Thank you all for making this Giving Tuesday a very special day in the life of our shelter, and personally one of the happiest days of our lives.

Thank you for your continued support of this life-saving work!
MEALS-ON-WHEELS FOR PETS
"When the economy is tight and resources are scarce, people sometimes are forced to make
difficult decisions about caring for their pets," says Shirley Moore, President of Save A Dog.
"We have seen an increase in the number of local dogs turned in due to financial hardship and
want to help prevent a pet from losing their loving home because their owners are struggling
with finances. Therefore, we launched a Meals-on-Wheels-for-Pets program that would benefit
pet owners who are suffering financially due to limited income or job loss."
Our goal is to provide dog and cat food for the pets BEFORE their owners reach a situation that would
cause relinquishment of the pet. This program is for those in our community who have lost a
job or means of income. The program will include seniors who are eligible for, or typically
receive, meals-on-wheels and we have reached out to the local Councils on Aging to offer our help.
Many seniors are feeling the pinch of rising health care costs and most are reluctant to ask
for help. These seniors are also prone to feed their own meals-on-wheels to their pets so we
want to offer them a high quality pet food that will ensure their pet is getting a nutritious
meal. Many seniors live alone with only their pets to keep them company. They depend upon these
animals for their mental and emotional well-being (as do those who have suffered the loss of a
job). Relieving these pet owners of the financial burden of pet food supports a happier,
healthier environment for both the owner and their pet. This program provides a service that
is not currently available in this area.
If you know of a pet owner in need, please email us
at meals@saveadog.org and if you would like to make a donation to this program, please click
on the link below or mail a check to Save A Dog with Meals-on-Wheels in the memo portion of the
check.
Save A Dog, Inc. is a Massachusetts-based humane society whose focus is abandoned dogs. We take in dogs of all breeds, sizes, and shapes who have become homeless for one reason or another. We work with animal shelters in MA as well as out of state. With millions of pets being abandoned each year, we try to maximize the number of dogs we can save at once, so we work with several rescue organizations in rural parts of the country where there is a pet overpopulation, hence pets in danger of euthanasia due to lack of resources. Save A Dog incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit in 1999 and our shelter is located in Sudbury, Massachusetts. We have used foster homes as well as the shelter to house and show our rescued dogs. We try to make the best match for applicant and dog.
To date we have rescued and adopted over 8,000 dogs. We offer education to our adopters on how to use natural supplements and a good quality food to care for the new dog or pup. We offer on-site puppy kindergarten classes for our adopters during the months when the weather is favorable. We send our rescued dogs home with an adoption contract that ensures the dog will never again end up in a shelter again. Our dogs are up to date on vaccinations, and we educate the adopters not to over-vaccinate as we know that this can lead to immune deficiency problems. We use a combination of homeopathy and conventional medical as our veterinary protocol. We advocate positive reinforcement training for dogs and obedience training is a requirement for all dog adopters.
We are privately funded via donations. We charge an adoption fee, but it is not enough to cover our operating expenses, so we hold several fund raisers per year to stay afloat and keep the dog rescue work going.
Our shelter is small and we cannot accommodate drop-in visits at this time. If you would like to meet our rescued dogs, please fill out an application and we will send you the next steps. If you have additional questions, the best way to reach us is via email to adoptions@saveadog.org.
