volunteers, whose mission it is to find loving
homes for neglected and abused dogs. Each
dog taken in is evaluated, socialized, and
receives training in a foster home. Once an
adopter is approved and chooses their canine
companion, they are eligible for discounted
dog training sessions with an in-house dog
trainer for issues such as leash walking, potty
training, aggression and more. Visit Heavenly
