US Dog Coalition - Rescuing lives of dogs in NC and Mexico

Help us welcome US Dog Coalition, joining us for their first Spring Fling! Their journey began as tourists, exploring the breathtaking views in Mexico. However, amidst the natural beauty, they couldn't ignore the heartbreaking reality, street dogs were everywhere. Puppies, old dogs, and pregnant dogs struggling to survive without shelter and sustenance.
Moved by compassion, they started feeding these dogs, providing momentary relief, but they knew it was not enough. The dogs would return to their harsh lives on the streets, vulnerable, hungry, and alone.
During one visit to Cascada de Cusarare, they encountered a little dog whose frail body was ravaged by mange and intestinal parasites. He sought nothing more than a moment of respite in the sun's warm embrace. Tourists passed him by, oblivious to his silent plea for help.
Unfortunately, they were unable to rescue him. With no veterinarians around for hours, they had no choice but to leave him behind. This heartbreak was the catalyst for the birth of US Dog Coalition. They solemnly vowed to help as many of these innocent souls as possible.

Duncan's Legacy: Spay, Neuter, and Care Program
This program was established with the mission of supporting responsible dog owners facing financial challenges in affording spaying and neutering services. US Dog Coalition understands that these dedicated owners prioritize their pets' well-being and community responsibility, choosing not to abandon their dogs but to seek responsible solutions.
Duncan's Legacy was created in honor of Duncan, whose life was cut short by cancer. Every pet helped through this program is a tribute to him and a step toward a healthier future for pets in need. Learn more here!
"Kindness is our strength"
After establishing 501(c)(3) status and successfully transporting the first dogs from Mexico, the US Dog Coalition team quickly realized that their mission needed a dual approach. Locally, they focused on rescuing dogs from overcrowded shelters and accepting owner surrenders, giving them a chance at a better life. Internationally, they collaborated with rescue partners, extending their support and bringing street dogs from Mexico to their sanctuary.
Today, US Dog Coalition has a dedicated team committed to making a difference in the lives of dogs in need. They are on a mission to provide shelter, care, and love to those who have been forgotten and abandoned on the streets. They believe that, together, we can create a brighter future for these deserving animals.
