Dog Scouts of America
Is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) educational and charitable organization. Our
mission is to promote responsible dog ownership and educate people about the
importance of the human/canine bond. We hope to reduce the obscene number of
dogs that are euthanized each year in shelters and pounds after they are dumped
there, unwanted, by people who weren't up to the task of being responsible dog
owners.
The statistics are grim for those dogs that enter the shelter as adults
with behavior problems created by the previous owners. Over 80% are euthanized.
To turn these statistics around, we can't just expect to find more adoptive
homes for all of the nation's unwanted animals. We have to prevent them from
becoming unwanted in the first place. We must show people how easy it is to be a
responsible owner of a family dog that is a joy, rather than a burden, to own.
We also hope to have people appreciate dogs more for the important role they
play in our lives.
With educational in-school programs using dogs, we can teach non-violence, nurturance, and an attitude of stewardship toward our fellow animals, while we as humans enjoy the many benefits of this positive association with dogs.
