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 can not 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 NW Ohio & SE 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.

BE MY VALENTINE . . . and check out my before and after pics!!
Hi, my name is Frankie and I’ve had it kind of rough! Dogworks, Inc. recently rescued me from a poor rural Ohio County along the Ohio River in Southeast Ohio. They think I am about 5-6 years old and suspect that I was used my whole life as a breeding dog. When the nice lady came and rescued me, I smelled really bad and was completely matted with urine and feces. That is NO way for a sweet guy like me to live!
Since being rescued, I got a nice bath, a snazzy new hair cut and they discovered a beautiful blonde boy under all that filth? I even heard people say they couldn’t believe I was the same dog, so apparently I clean up well. I am currently being treated for ear inflammation and they are working with me on housebreaking.
I don’t usually ask for much, but I am not too proud to ask for help in this case. My new makeover has made me look fantastic, but my teeth are NOT so pretty. I need a dental cleaning and they are most likely going to have to extract some of my teeth because they are rotten. I’m not 100% sure what that means (I do plan on “Googling” it), but I have been assured it is in my best interest to have it done.
As you know, dental visits cost money and I am hoping maybe you can help. I am asking that you sponsor me to help pay for a pretty new smile. I, and Dogworks, Inc., would be grateful and we estimate the cost to be around $300.00. Of course, any amount received above the cost of my dental care, would be put to good use to help many of the other great dogs that Dogworks, Inc. rescues.
So, if you want to sponsor me, you can click on the DONATE button above.
You can also mail a donation, made payable to “Dogworks, Inc”, to: P.O. Box 351256, Toledo, OH 43635 (mark “Frankie” in the memo). All donations are tax-deductible.
Feel free to look around the website to see all the available dogs for adoption, our “Happy Tales” or to learn about how you could become a foster family. Dogworks, Inc. is accepting applications for yours truly and they estimate I will be ready for placement after February 12, 2014.
Thanks for your consideration and remember . . . you’ll be my Valentine for life!
Love,
Frankie

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.♥
As far a Mona is concerned...there are some very interesting things to watch at the Petco Adoptions!!

Pictures from 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.
More Pictures from the Anderson Sept 15th
A Few Pictures From Saturday's Meet & Greet at Petco 8/11
Meet Echo. He was found wandering by a rural dog warden. These pictures were taken soon after rescue.
He is very skinny with a lot of fur loss. Echo was found NOT to have mange, but an over growth of bacteria & yeast on his skin which is easily being treated. His malnutrition certainly didn’t help this situation. This friendly boy gladly accepted capture!
Echo is a young male 2 y/o Weimaraner Mix whom Dogworks Inc. agreed to pull into rescue. Echo is a wonderful dog and just needs a home that will pamper & love him. He should be ready by the end of April. Adopt Echo - and watch this boy blossom!
01/2013 - We are still looking for that "special home and family" for Echo!

Dixie Earned Her Wings
Dixie earned her wings! Stuck in Virginia, where she was scheduled to be euthanized at a rural shelter, Dixie 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 Ohio rescue. Pilot Mike of the Pilots-n-Paws program flew to her rescue. In Mike’s arms and plane, she found herself airborne, traveling many miles to Toledo, where she is now ready for adoption to someone who will give her love.
Full grown, Dixie is 46 pounds. She is good with children and other dogs. She is spayed, has current vaccinations, heartworm negative and on preventive, and has been wormed. She is ready for her new home. For more details, contact Dogworks
