Hello Friends, Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

Please take a minute to look at Cody, the beautiful black lab mix that Dogs Deserve Better saved from a certain death a few months ago. Cody was a chained dog who lived out in the country. While chained he was attacked by something and seriously wounded, but his people at the time did not care enough to get help for him. They were going to have the local sheriff come and shoot Cody, a common form of euthanasia in the country. Luckily for Cody some compassionate neighbors asked if they could have Cody and contacted me for help.

By the time they called me it had been 9 days since the attack, and I didn't know what I would find when I went to get Cody. Despite his severe injuries his tail started wagging when I pulled up. After a week in the hospital, Cody went to a wonderful foster home, and they fell in love with him and adopted him a few months later.

Please donate if you can so we can continue to save dogs like Cody, and continue our mission of eliminating chaining and penning dogs for life. This practice is antiquated and cruel, and no way for a dog to live its life. Your donations will go to help dogs directly through vet care, fencing, training, and rehabilitation, as well as public education.

Thank you for your support,

Tammi Kinman Ruppert
