Program areas at Shadows Fund Incorporated
The Sheltering Oak Sanctuary, our largest program, is a 100 acre safe haven for dogs in need of a 2nd chance, horses and pigs. Since its inception we have pioneered a new path in humane animal sheltering and have created a one-of-a-kind facility that provides homeless dogs with home-like settings in which to live. The sanctuary is a home to 70+ animals on any given day and also serves as a venue for volunteerism and a resource for education and support in our community.
Our Take Me Home Program helps shelter dogs go from kennels to couches by matching adoptable shelter dogs with pre-screened adopters, providing adoption counseling and follow up, and transporting shelter dogs to their new homes. We also help to fund a behavior and enrichment coordinator for our local shelters who helps shelter dogs have their best chance at adoption.
Our Keep Me Home program helps local shelter dogs transition safely and successfully from shelter to home by providing collars, leashes and educational materials for new adopters and helps keep owner pets in their homes through direct support of veterinary assistance, fencing, behavioral consulting and rehoming assistance.
Our other program expenses include our Bright Beginnings Program, Volunteer Program, and small miscellaneous costs related to all of our program services.
