Each and everyday, too many dogs are being abused, abandoned, and neglected by their owners or strangers. The purpose of this site is to make money to donate directly to the animal organizations and no-kill shelters that help rescue and give dogs new lives. When you shop from "Going To The Dogs.org", we will make money off of your purchase. We then take that money and donate the profit to shelters across the United States. That's it!!! It will make a world of a difference in the lives of the dogs.

By shopping thru and supporting "Going To The Dogs", we are able to provide more to our shelters. So, please shop around and give more to these beautiful animals. All net proceeds help to save lives and provide care for those dogs in shelters.

"Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.

Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I might lick your hand between blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me learn.

Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footsteps fall upon my waiting ear.

Please take me inside when it is cold and wet, for I am a domesticated animal, no longer accustomed to bitter elements. I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth.

Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.

Feed me clean food that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life, should your life be in danger.

And, my friend, when I am very old, and I no longer enjoy good health, hearing and sight, do not make heroic efforts to keep me going. I am not having any fun, please see that my trusting life is taken gently.

I shall leave this earth knowing, with the last breath I draw, that my fate was always safest in your hands."
