Welcome to Dogworks, Inc.!
Dogworks is an all volunteer group located in Toledo, Ohio, whose purpose is to rescue and re-home abandoned and neglected dogs.
Most of our dogs come to us from euthanizing shelters in Ohio, Michigan, and surrounding areas. We strive to rescue as many dogs as we can, but the need for new fosters and volunteers is crucial to our continuing efforts.
We are always searching for dog lovers that are willing to open up their home to foster a dog or pup in need. Foster care is a vital part to giving beautiful dogs a new start at life. We cannot save these desperate canines without your help. Foster parents are not responsible for veterinary expenses, and we also will furnish a dog crate, along with the first bag of dog food.
You provide guidance, patience, food, and shelter. Short term and long term caregivers are needed in Northwest Ohio & Southeast Michigan. Please feel free to ask questions. If you are interested in fostering specific breed--just ask! There are so many dogs in need! Our foster homes usually have first choice of adopting a dog in their care.

In Memory of Jeff Sanderson
Dogworks would like to send condolences and thanks to the family and friends of Jeff Sanderson, who passed away unexpectedly last month at age 42. We have received more than $2500 in donations in memory of Jeff. His spirit of generosity and caring will live on through our efforts to place abandoned and neglected dogs in permanent, loving homes. Some precious lives--both human and canine--end too soon. As we say in rescue, "We'll meet you at the Bridge."
Support Dogworks on Ebay!
We're trying a new fundraising method: selling handbags on Ebay! These bags have been donated to Dogworks or purchased at a discount, and all sales benefit rescue efforts for dogs in Ohio and Michigan. Please visit our Ebay store for your next gift for someone special (or for yourself)!
Thanks to Lupine Pet!
Dogworks recently received a generous donation of collars and leashes in a wide variety of sizes and patterns from Lupine Pet. Check out their wonderful selection, and help them continue to support rescue groups across the country! This gift will help our foster dogs look stylish and stay safe for years to come!
Our New Sponsor: PetMeds Cares!
Thank you to 1-800-PetMeds and the PetMeds Cares program for their donation of needed supplies! Dogworks is one of many rescue groups and shelters across the country that have benefited from this program.

Congratulations, Patti & Eric!
Congratulations to Patti and Eric Z.! While celebrating their wedding day on October 5th, 2013, Patti and Eric asked friends and family to donate to Dogworks in lieu of gifts. We cannot thank them enough for their generous donation! You are two very special people! We are sure Lily and Jenny, your adopted dogs, think so too!
Sylvania Fall Festival Parade
Here are a few pictures from the parade. Thanks to everyone who showed up to participate!! Thank you, Kiersten, for getting this organized!

Sadie
Sadie is now an officially registered therapy dog with Therapy Dogs Incorporated. I've had her 2.5 years now adopted through Dogworks of Ohio. She has been our own personal therapy dog...me going through my divorce and my son going through a shooting at his school (where three classmates were murdered and three more injured). She is such a blessing and loves visiting people. I am a Marine Corps veteran, so I am hoping to take her to the VA Hospital (hospice wing) here in Cleveland, Ohio.♥
Festival Of Trees At Westfield Mall
Here are a few pictures of Dogworks volunteers decorating our tree entry. Thanks to all who donated items and helped!
On October 27, 2012, Dogworks volunteer Monica West set a new world record for walking the most dogs at the same time. Monica used a bicycle to walk 24 dogs for 3.662 miles for 55 minutes. Her ride was documented and submitted to Guinness Book of World Records. Well done!
Sylvania Fall Festival
What a great day at the Sylvania Fall Festival with our fundraising booth, a parade, and tons of nice people! Louie did a fantastic job meeting and greeting and was the center of attention.

Dixie Earned Her Wings
Dixie earned her wings! Dixie was scheduled to be euthanized at a rural Virginia shelter when she was picked by a volunteer who thought she was a pretty special lady for a very special program.
This person made sure that Dixie found Dogworks. Mike of the Pilots-n-Paws program flew to her rescue in Ohio. In Mike’s arms and plane, she found herself airborne, traveling many miles to Toledo, where she was ready for adoption to someone who will give her a lifetime of love!
