To Provide effective means to pet owners to save, protect, adopt and care for their dogs and cats. To provide effective means to rescuers to rescue, protect, adopt out, and care for dogs and cats that need assistance.

This is a growth on Commet's neck. The vet is very concerned and has told Commet's young mamma it must come off but with finances limited, she needs our help to help him. It will cost between 300-500 dollars to get this taken care of. Please help us help her. You can donate to GTTR's and we will get the funds to the vet. Please a few dollars each and we can get this kid fixed up. Commet is a neutered, 8 year old who needs to spend the rest of his life comfortable.
Please help...


Please donate to Commet at GTTR's...

Why donate to Going To The Dogs? We are trying to get a fund built up to be able to assist YOU...the rescuer! If you need gas for a transport, we want to be able to send you some gas money. If you need dog food for an extra dog, we want to be able to send you a voucher for dog food. If you need help with a medical bill we want to be able to help you with that too but we need everyone to help build up the fund. We are trying to find grant money to help us build it up too but until then we need everyone to help us. Do you have 5 bucks? or 2 or 20? Believe me, we can use it! You all know the need is great and as the administrators of this site we are getting hit with requests all the time but you can see our pot is empty so we have to turn them away. Please help us help them...help us help YOU!

I love the Scripture, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. When I'm down and out, I don't hoard my money anymore, I bless someone with something cuz I know that it is seed and God will use it to plant my harvest. My pastor was just talking last Sunday about the best way to make sure that you have groceries in your house is to put them in someone else's house or fill up someone else's gas tank. Same here...need dog food, buy some for someone else, need vet care, donate to someone else's.

We have had lots of folks join and we are SO glad to have you. We understand this site is different than any out there. I hope to help guide you along and make you a bit more comfortable in navigating around here. We NEED you to stay...the DOGS need you to stay...so, read on, take a few minutes and if you still don't understand. Send me, Melissa or Jerilyn an email and we will give you our phone numbers and walk you through this site personally.

Now, first thing when you sign up, it will take you to your page which you can decorate anyway you want. We ask you to keep it clean. Also, you might want to download Mozilla Foxfire for a browser. Ning sites seem to work better. Download it here Now you can see the pictures better, they will load easier, faster...all is well.

Be sure and keep your profile filled out with as much detail as possible. We often have dogs or transports that are urgent and do searches based on your profile information and maybe you can be the one that helps save a life. Also, if you are a transporter, please let me know and I will send you a form so we have you in a special file.

Now that you are set up with the "site" to help rescue, set your page up "show off" your rescue. Who do you have up for adoption? Put them on your page. Also, send Jerilyn aka Southern Rascal a message that you have animals to do on the adoption site and she will send you a form to fill out. She will add them to the Going To My New Home site for you. We are asking for a 20 dollar donation once the dog/cat gets adopted out, so it doesn't have to be paid up front and that fee goes back into the Going To The Dogs rescue fund.

At the top of every page are tabs with drop down lists. There are two you will for sure want to pay close attention to...Forums and Groups. This is the difference: Forums are for posting dogs like crossposting in email. The last twenty posted show up on the main page. The groups have different topics you can join and are open discussion (like myspace or facebook) Please join as many as you want and get active in them.

Blogs are also posted on the main page, the last twenty posts are shown, also, the last 100 photo's are posted in a slideshow on the main page. We will post any Site News under the tab Site News or we will put a link on the main page.

I hope I've helped clear some things up for you. If you need anything at all, please let me or Melissa or Jerilyn know and we will do our best to get back to you.

Thank you for coming!
