Most importantly, fosters give them love until their forever family comes along! They work with them on house-breaking, crate-training, walking on a leash, manners, and much more. From there the dogs move to a foster home, where a family helps them adapt to life in a home.
At 14 years old and in rough shape, Weebles and his brother Yoda were unlikely to. Their dad couldn't (or wouldn't) care for them, was being unkind to them, and was ready to take them to a shelter. Once we have transferred the dogs and puppies to our facility, we have them seen at our veterinary facility for needed wellness exams, vaccinations, preventative care, alterations for dogs over 6 months old, and much more. Weebles and his feline family were left in a bad situation when their human mom died. We are committed to saving all dogs we do not discriminate against breed or age of the dogs we take in. We save approximately 200-300 dogs each year from these shelters. Beaver County Humane Society, located 30 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, PA, is the only animal shelter serving Beaver County and surrounding counties. We have been working with these shelters for years and have established a wonderful relationship with them. PA law states licensed shelters are required to hold strays for 48 hours. We have also saved dogs from shelters in Philadelphia, Alabama, West Virginia, Tennessee, and many more. Since then, Salfid Rescue's volunteers have worked together to save dogs and puppies from overpopulated shelters. Many of our dogs and puppies come from Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Franklin County Humane Society, and the Humane Society of Amherst County all located in Virginia. Salfid Rescue received 501C3 (non-profit) status in November of 2008. In 2005, Debra was providing transport for rescues and in one of her transports there were too many puppies for one rescue to take. Debra recalls stating, "I'll take them!" As time went on she, and a few others who had joined the mission, started Salfid Rescue Inc. was started in cooperation with the owner of Salfid Kennels, Debra Curley.
