Starfish Dogs Foundation

Starfish Dogs Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the needs of rescued, medically fragile, and older dogs. The foundation ensures that 100% of every donated dollar directly benefits the dogs.

Their mission is to raise and distribute funds to cover veterinary bills, food, and ongoing medical needs for dogs, aiming to prevent owners from having to make difficult choices due to illness. They also strive to give every rescued dog a second chance at a loving, pain-free existence or compassionate end-of-life care.

The organization actively helps foster pups from shelters like Front Street, supports high-cost medical care for dogs that have been overbred, abused, or discarded due to age, and assists individuals on fixed incomes with monthly medication costs for their pups. They also support other animal sanctuaries and rescues. The team is 100% volunteer, ensuring all donations go directly to the care of dogs in need. The foundation was inspired by a pup named June, rescued from a puppy mill in 2019, highlighting their commitment to providing love, compassion, and healthcare to dogs deserving a second chance.
