Dream Fetchers, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to the idea that through the unconditional love of animals any individual can, in spite of their disabilities, be touched and delighted by a friendly pup through a program of learning and love. Our programs will bring people and animals together to interact and bond, a wonderful distraction from pain, depression, or frustration.
Our dogs, all rescues from the streets and the shelters, were thrown away, banished from love simply because no one took the time to recognize the beauty and special gifts each animal had to offer. They quickly came to know the affection, compassion, and empathy they truly deserve. In turn, we take these virtues and extend to all people that same outpouring of adoration that the dogs return to us. It brings healing to the heart, mind, and soul. Our skilled and caring trainers and staff all share the same belief that through interaction with our canine helpers we can break through barriers. Each dog is trained and repurposed as they journey from death row to Hollywood to loving homes to hospitals to hospice with a new beginning.
Our mission is to save dogs from euthanasia by giving them a “new leash on life” where they are a viable contribution to the social, emotional, physical, or educational well-being of humans. Through the gentle eyes of dogs, anyone can see and feel the love that only man’s best friend innately delivers.
We hear the call. We see the need. We dare not ignore.
