Cause for Canines is an all-breed dog rescue in Central Ohio that has rescued and adopted out over 215 dogs just this year. We are committed to the rescue of homeless dogs, dogs given up by their owners due to difficult circumstances or those in danger of abuse or neglect, and dogs in shelters that are at risk of euthanasia.  Cause for Canines rescues dogs from shelters and owners through-out Ohio, but has a focus on at-risk dogs at small rural Ohio shelters that don't have the space or funding to hold and adopt out all dogs that come in. All of our dogs are placed in foster care and receive any necessary medical care and treatments and are spayed/neutered and microchipped, while waiting for their forever homes.  Applicants are put through an extensive adoption process to ensure our dogs are placed in the best homes possible.  We also provide education to prospective adopters to ensure they have the tools necessary to provide appropriate pet care for their new forever friend.

Because of the high number of dogs we take in, the risk of medical issues is significant. We have had over 4 cases of Parvo (which are extremely costly) just in the past month, and multiple dogs requiring surgeries and medical procedures to save their lives. Our adoption fees rarely cover the cost of medical care. In order to continue saving lives, we must raise funds to pay our outstanding medical bills.

Thank you for your support.
