We STRONGLY believe that All Dogs have a Right to Live(Click here for related story)Smiling Dog Farms is not associated in any way with Smiling Dog Rescue in Tucson, AZA 501(c)3 Non-Profit Corporation Smiling Dog Farms is Absolutely, Unequivocally NO-KILL!!!A Warm Welcome from All of Us...Smiling Dog Farms is a Sanctuary, not a traditional rescue. Our dogs come from shelters, rescues and private parties all across America. They may be deemed "unadoptable" because they have bitten someone, have medical issues, have other behavioral challenges, have grown old, have become a burden or have just run out of time at a shelter. If a dog is breathing, he qualifies to come live here! We provide a permanent home for truly "unadoptable" dogs - dogs that are out of options and are facing certain death. We are a "Last Resort" for these dogs that have nowhere else to go. These dogs are allowed to live out their lives in safety and peace here at the farm.Please review our Intake Procedure and our FAQs if you are thinking about sending a dog here.We rely on your donations to continue helping dogs. Our funding comes 100% from individuals who want to help us help dogs. We provide a permanent home for dogs that have no one else to speak for them, and whose only other option is euthanasia. We can only do this because of the continued generosity of our contributors who believe as we do, that every dog deserves the right to life.We also provide the opportunity for adoptable dogs to find their forever homes.Our New Directions Adoption Program finds families for dogs. Many of the dogs that come here have the potential to be successfully adopted. We work with Adoption Partners who carefully screen possible adopters and supervise the placements. Shelter dogs that have not been chosen by adopting families are often euthanized to make room for new arrivals. If no other rescue can help these dogs, they are welcome at Smiling Dog Farms and are placed into our Adoption Program.You can make a difference as a Smiling Dog Partner. Your monthly donation will let us keep helping the dogs who have been given up on by others! 100% of your tax deductible donations goes directly to helping these dogs.Please click on our “Ways to Help” tab above to learn how you can make a dog smile.Smiling Dog FarmsP.O.

My family brought me all the way from Michigan to live at the farm and they sponsor me EVERY MONTH ... and they send treats for me too!But a lot of the dogs here have no sponsors. People promise to cover their costs, but once the dogs get here people sometimes just seem to forget about them. It’s very sad. They still need food and meds and a treat now and then.It costs about $2.67 a day to care for one dog. That’s $80 a month! Just 8 people signed up to send $10 a month would take care of one dog that has no one to sponsor it.

Our problem is simple enough: We have more dogs than we have sponsors to pay for them!Individuals and Rescues have sent us dogs, promising to pay for their care. Many have been faithful, and do just as they promised. But some just walk away! They don't help raise the cost of care! They don’t fulfill their promises to us!They leave their dogs, and they leave us holding the bag! So, we run about $3,000 behind Every Month!We must raise fundsto make up that difference!If just 38 unfunded dogs had sponsors, we would never need to fundraise again! Our End of Year Fundraiser raised over $20,000 in each of the past few years. That caught us up for the fourth quarter, and covered us for thefirst few months of the next year.This yearwe are hoping to sign upmore sponsors than ever before! Then we won't need as many fundraisersthroughout the year ahead.1) Ask your friends, family, business contacts (any NON-rescue "civilians") to consider helping us - now - so we can keep helping the dogs who need us most!
