Mission: The 3R Program for Dogs provides a safe haven, rehabilitation, and loving homes for rescued dogs who have faced abuse, neglect, abandonment, or mistreatment. We create a unique environment where rescued dogs find healing and purpose alongside at-risk youth participating in our ESIC Program.
Our Story:
Since 2011, we’ve been “kicking in doors” to rescue dogs in need. We understand the trauma these animals endure, and our 3R program is designed to address their specific needs while offering a valuable experience for at-risk youth.
The 3R Process:
1. Rescue:Our dedicated team works tirelessly to rescue dogs from abusive, neglectful, or dangerous situations. We partner with animal control agencies and shelters to identify dogs in need of a loving second chance.
· Certified on-site care is conducted with thorough health checks and necessary medical care
2. Rehabilitate
· We create a safe and stress-free environment for rescued dogs to heal physically and emotionally.
· Experienced trainers address behavioural issues caused by past traumas using positive reinforcement techniques.
· Our “Puppy Playgroup” allows dogs to socialize with other rescued dogs in a safe and controlled environment.
· At-risk youth participating in the ESIC Program play a vita role in the rehabilitation process. They assist with:
o Walking and playtime (promoting exercise and bonding)
o Basic obedience training (teaching communication and trust)
o Socialization with other dogs and people (building confidence and overcoming fear)
o Showering the dogs with love and attention (providing emotional support).
3. Rehome:
· We conduct thorough home evaluations to ensure a perfect match between rescued dog and potential adopter.
· We provide ongoing support and guidance to adoptive families throughout the transition period.
· The successful rehabilitation process through 3R increases the adoptability of rescued dogs, finding them their forever homes.
Benefits of the 3R Program:
By combining rescue efforts with a unique rehabilitation program that leverages the power of human-animal interaction, the 3R Program for Dogs offers a holistic approach to healing. We provide a second chance for both at-risk youth and rescued dogs, building a brighter future for all.
