Patch: Tell Patch a little bit about your organization!

Agape Animal Rescue: At Agape, we have seen it all when it comes to man’s best friend. But despite the misfortunes these animals have endured, our commitment to them remains steadfastly clear: to provide loving, emotionally stable, nurturing foster care for them while they wait for their for their forever families. Through no fault of their own, our dogs found themselves in homeless situations. We are dedicated to making a positive difference in these dogs’ lives from the moment they enter our foster program.

Our goal is to help them in every way we can…emotionally, socially, physically…so that the transition into their forever homes will be as smooth as possible. We strive to teach our dogs basic obedience skills, including proper leash manners and friendly house manners through our Foster Care Training Program. And we strive to match our dogs with the best family possible, working through as many applications as necessary to find a home that offers the dog the most fulfilling, enriched life. On behalf of all the dogs waiting for a forever family, we thank you for your interest in improving the lives of these deserving animals.
