In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn’t merely try to train him to be semi human.The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog.

Every year we donate a portion of the proceeds to help other animal shelters and rescues in need. This year we are raising funds for the Ritchie County Humane Society, whose main building (which houses all the cats and puppies) burned down in a fi re last January. The shelter is located in rural West Virginia where there is extreme poverty and a pet over-population resulting in the loss of many lives of innocent cats and dogs. Their limited staff works tirelessly to save as many as they can, but are severely limited now due to the fi re. We have been working with this shelter for ten years and have been to the shelter throughout the years, and can speak fi rst-hand that all the funds raised will go directly to help house many helpless cats and dogs. Let’s help these partners in animal rescue who send many of their adoptable dogs and pups to shelters in New England.

Save A Dog is a 501c3 tax exempt Humane Society whose mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and find adoptable homes for abandoned dogs. We are a holistically-minded organization that believes in providing the highest quality care to our rescued dogs. We give the dogs vitamins, herbal supplements, and probiotics from day one as our shelter protocol. Each night the new arrivals are serenaded to animal healing music while enjoying a fresh meaty bone on their kuranda beds. We have a very strong foster home program so that the dogs are transitioned into the home environment as soon as possible. We educate our adopters on holistic care for their new dog and our Retail room carries pet food and all the holistic supplements at a very low cost to our adopters and supporters. Please come visit us during our open hours. Save A Dog was incorporated in 1999 and funded entirely by private donations.
Please keep the historical grounds of the Wayside Inn litter free. For your convenience, doggy clean-up bags are inside your goodie bag, as well as all our Booths.
During the Revolutionary war when British General Howe’s dog accidentally crossed American lines, General George Washington wrote a letter to his British counterpart and returned the dog to him.
No wonder we elected him the fi rst President! In the midst of the Revolution he took the time to save a dog!
Save A Dog is a 501c3 non-profi t organization. Additional pledges and tax deductible donations should be mailed to:
