Welcome To Dogworks
Dogworks is an all-volunteer, nonprofit group based in Toledo, OH, whose purpose is to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home abandoned, neglected, and unwanted dogs.
Most dogs are rescued from euthanizing shelters, although some come to us from relinquishing owners or other means.
All dogs are fostered in volunteer homes until adoption since we do not have a shelter or kennel facility. We strive to rescue as many dogs as we can, but the need for new fosters and volunteers is crucial to our continuing efforts!

Sending our Thanks to the following:
Thank You for your Generosity and Support!
We were recently contacted by Amanda, the CO-Founder of an agency that works to link clients with places to donate funds to help other organizations market their purpose and advertise.
Fast forward she helped The Recovery Village link with us and they gave us a very generous donation to help us with our doggie friends. In return, we are sharing their information with you!
Many thankful wet noses and waggy tails wish to share that The Recovery Village can be found at: https://www.therecoveryvillage.com/local-rehab-resources/ohio/toledo/

Donations, Without them we could not do what we do.....
Thanks to you, Dogworks was able to save 82 dogs last year. The average adoption fee of $175 doesn’t begin to cover an average of $375 direct (vaccines, vetting & boarding) and indirect (insurance, supplies, etc.) costs per dog. While some adoptions are profitable, most are not. Donors like you cover this $200 per dog shortfall (“the Gap”) and help give dogs a second chance at life.
Take Buddy as an example. Buddy just underwent FHO (Femoral Head Osteotomy) surgery to remove the ball of his femur. This surgery is used to relieve pain and attempt to restore use of a leg that has severe hip dysplasia or arthritis. This can often be caused in a young dog by an accident (such as being hit by a car) or abuse. Buddy’s $165 adoption fee cannot cover the Gap: the $1650 it cost for surgery and post-op therapy.

You, our donors, are an indispensable ally in our mission of rehabilitating and rehoming dogs to a loving forever home. We see you on Facebook sharing our posts and publicizing our organization, and for that, we thank you. However, we still need your help.
Our goal is to be able to cover the Gap to re-home dogs, especially dogs that need extra medical attention a family may not be able to cover. Approximately 30% of dogs that end up in a pound are euthanized. That means that of the 100,000 dogs that fill Ohio shelters each year, nearly 82 of them are euthanized EACH DAY; coincidentally the same number of dogs we were able to save all last year.
That’s why our goal is to raise $15,000. If we raise this amount, we know the Gap will be covered to allow us to re-home 75 more dogs this coming year. We need your help to make it happen.
Would you be willing to make a donation of $50, $100 or $200 or whatever you can afford to help us meet our goal of covering the Gap to find a forever home for 75 more dogs? Can you reach out to your friends and family and encourage them to support us?
Every dog has the perfect family waiting for it. We can’t match them up without you. Your support will make a real, lasting impact in not just the life of each dog we re-home, but also the lives of every family member who is able to open their door to a new four-legged family member.
