Mission
PICKET FENCE POODLE RESCUE continues to be a charitable and educational organization which rescues and supplies Poodles with love, SHELTER, food, human companionship, medical care and spay/neuter services until a permanent placement into a pre-screened, loving home is found as long as the Poodle is not considered dangerous to human or other animals. We educate the public about responsible pet ownership & inform the public about the commercial dog industry in America. We feel it is also important to revive the spirit of volunteerism in our great country. We wish to eliminate the euthansia of any healthy, adoptable Poodle. We do not accept euthanasia as a means of population control for any adoptable Poodle. We believe each Poodle's life is meaningful & deserves a loving forever more home. We take responsibility for each Poodle rescued & placed through Picket Fence Poodle Rescue for the rest of the Poodles natural life.
Program accomplishments
- PROVIDE QUALITY CARE IN A SAFE AND LOVING ENVIRONMENT FOR HOMELESS POODLES WHO NEED OUR HELP UNTIL WE ARE ABLE TO FIND THEM A FOREVER MORE FAMILY.
