AWO Spotlight: Spot's Last Stop Canine Rescue

Text

Did you know approximately 3.3 million dogs enter U.S. animal shelters every year? Many shelters simply don’t have enough space and funding to accommodate all of the dogs who are brought there, and sometimes resort to euthanizing or turning them away as a result.  

Every time a dog is adopted from a shelter, another space opens up for another dog and more funding can be directed towards their care. Pet parents who have adopted before know how rewarding it is -- they’re giving a sweet pup who may otherwise be alone, or, even worse, euthanized, a wonderful, loving home, all while gaining a best friend.  

We’re proud to partner with animal welfare organizations across the country to raise awareness for the thousands of dogs waiting to find their forever homes and help rescued dogs settle into their new home with complete ease once they are adopted. In honor of National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day on April 30, we’ll be spotlighting one of our partners and fellow Minnesota friend, Spot’s Last Stop Canine Rescue, all week long.

Spot’s Last Stop is non-profit canine rescue that matches families in the Twin Cities area with homeless dogs in need of forever homes. Many of their dogs come from the southern states where spay and neuter laws are non-existent and high-kill shelters are overpopulated. Their team of dedicated volunteers and fosters is passionate about alleviating these issues and helping homeless dogs arrive safely to their forever homes.
