“EVERY DOG MUST HAVE HIS DAY”
Jonathan Swift
OUR MISSION
OUR VISION
Doggy World dedicates itself to achieving a vision for pet foster care and services in the Greater Washington/Baltimore Metropolitan Area in which communities are inspired to take an active and shared role in the caring and sheltering of dogs.
Everyday service members who are pet owners often face a hard and unwanted decision of having to decide what to do with their pet while they are away for an upcoming deployment. If the service member is unable to find a proper home for their pet, the animal is often taken to their local shelter. Unfortunately, in the U.S. 56% if the number of cats and dogs who enter shelters are often euthanized. That equates to 4-5million animals each year (HSUS, 2010; NCPP, 2010). For the owner who feels your pet is not just your pet, but rather a member of your immediate family, this is not an option.
While you are away during the day, your dog awaits patiently just to hear you put the key in the door and turn the knob. Full of energy and devotion they greet you daily. When circumstances arise that require you to depend on someone else to provide care for your dog, finding the right “home away from home” is essential.
