WE NEED MORE MONTHLY SPONSORS ! Ed Lelek says, “I’m one of the lucky guys around here. My family brought me all the way from Michigan to live at the farm and they sponsor me EVERY MONTH ... and they send treats for me too! But a lot of the dogs here have no sponsors. People promise to cover their costs, but once the dogs get here people sometimes just seem to forget about them. It’s very sad. They still need food and meds and a treat now and then. It costs about $2.67 a day to care for one dog. That’s $80 a month! Just 8 people signed up to send $10 a month would take care of one dog that has no one to sponsor it. PLEASE CONSIDER BECOMING A SPONSOR TODAY ! Check our Sanctuary and Adoptable dogs pages to see which dog appeals to you. Donations to Date: $9,425 Still Needed: $10,575 Please post us on Facebook and ask your friends and family to help! Smiling Dog Farms is a Sanctuary, not a traditional rescue. Our dogs come from shelters, rescues and private parties all across America.  They may be deemed "unadoptable" because they have bitten someone, have medical issues, have other behavioral challenges, have grown old, have become a burden or have just run out of time at a shelter.  If a dog is breathing, he qualifies to come live here!  We provide a permanent home for truly "unadoptable" dogs that are out of options and are facing certain death.  We are a "Last Resort" for these dogs who have no where else to go. These dogs are allowed to live out their lives in safety and peace here at the farm. If you are thinking about sending a dog here, please review our Intake Procedure. We rely on your donations to continue helping dogs.  Our funding comes 100%  from individuals who want to help us help dogs.  We provide a permanent home for dogs that have no one else to speak for them, and whose only other option is euthanasia.  We also provide the opportunity for adoptable dogs to find their forever homes. Our New Directions Adoption Program finds families for dogs.  Many of the dogs that come here have the potential to be successfully adopted.  We work with Adoption Partners who carefully screen possible adopters and supervise the placements.  Shelter dogs that have not been chosen by adopting families are often euthanized to make room for new arrivals.  If no other rescue can help these dogs, they are also welcome at Smiling Dog Farms and are placed into our Adoption Program. You can make a difference as a Smiling Dog Partner.  Your monthly donation will let us keep helping the dogs who have been given up on by others!  100% of your tax deductible donations goes directly to helping the dogs.

We STRONGLY believe that All Dogs have a Right to Live (Click here for related story) Smiling Dog Farms is not associated in any way with Smiling Dog Rescue in Tucson, AZ A Warm Welcome from All of Us... Bear says, "We need more new housing! “Our older housing needs replacing. The existing cottages are showing their age and starting to fail. Ricky developed a wonderful new design, with an upstairs loft and a big yard. Some of us dogs already have one of these spiffy new units, but many of us don't. We are using most of our Year End Fundraiser to build new housing! Please help us all to get these great new homes - there is still time to help us!" Our Good Friends at American Dog Rescue (ADR) have offered us a  $20,000 Matching Grant! A housing unit normally costs $1,262 for materials. But Jay negotiated with our vendors and if we buy a LOT of materials at one time, we can save almost 20%! PLEASE help us build a cozy, warm new housing unit for one of our dogs this winter!  You can also mail a check to: Smiling Dog Farms, PO Box 743, Wharton, TX 77488  Your gift is fully tax deductible... we are a 501c3 charity To donate now, please click on American Dog Rescue or Smiling Dog Farms Donations A 501(c)3 Non-Profit Corporation                                                Smiling Dog Farms is Absolutely, Unequivocally NO-KILL!!!
