In the US each year around 3 million dogs are surrendered or abandoned. Sadly, there are not enough resources to rehabilitate and rehome so many dogs.

While there are so many great nonprofits that shelter and rescue dogs, those charities focus mostly on the short-term problem.

American Dog Society is a preventative and proactive organization that focuses on the problem before dogs go into or back into shelters.

American Dog Society’s mission is to create better, more educated pet parents by advocating, organizing resources, and connecting people across the United States to improve the lives of dogs, reduce the number of dogs going into shelters, and ultimately reduce the 400,000 dogs that are put down in shelters each year.
