Save a dog, save a life
CHENANGO COUNTY – Like many people, you may have a dog that’s waiting for you every night and loves you unconditionally. But there are thousands of dogs in shelters that go unadopted each year.
Dogs In Danger Rescue is a non-profit dog rescue in Smyrna that saves those dogs. Many times, shelters – especially those in southern states – must euthanize these animals to reduce crowding, said Sarah Papay, founder and president of Dogs in Danger Rescue.
Papay and her staff save thousands of dogs each year.
“Last year, we saved 1,330 dogs from being euthanized,” Papay said. “This year, we're on track to save over 2,000.”
Like many, Papay is a dog and animal lover who just wants to help as many animals as she can. Living in Maryland, Papay heard about a shelter in West Virginia that desperately needed help because of overcrowding in their kennels. “It was a six hour drive each way,” said Papay. “I drove out and got as many dogs as I could. From there, it was pretty easy to find them owners.”
It wasn’t long before other shelters began contacting her. “I started getting calls from other shelters that needed help,” she said. “I always did what I could.”
It was in 2007 that Papay founded the Dogs In Danger Rescue shelter. With two fosters in Central New York, Massachusetts, and Delaware, Dogs In Danger Rescue has taken on a life of its own. “We work with 20 high-kill shelters in five different states,” said Papay. “We mainly focus on puppies ages two to three months as we can save more animals.”
Papay explained that the shelters she works with are mainly in the southern United States. This is because unlike upstate New York, there’s a real problem in southern states of massive overcrowding in shelters as a result of an over-population.
“In some of those shelters, more than half of the animals have to be euthanized,” said Papay, explaining that Dogs in Danger Rescue will take the puppies and attempt to give them a good home.
“All the animals we have get proper vet care. We try to help them out as much as we can.”
Papay also said that people have come from all over to adopt her animals.
“Lots of people also keep us updated on the progress of the puppies too,” she added. “Many people don't realize how many places need help. These shelters don't want to have to euthanize the dogs, but sometimes they have to.”
Dogs In Danger Rescue became a non-profit organization in 2011 and is always thankful for donations. If you would like to donate or would like more information, visit their website at www.eastcoastadoption.com.
