Deacon's Hope was founded on Oct. 29, 2005 by Donna Smith and her family. Their inspiration came from another family member -their beloved German Shepherd, Deacon, who was a loyal family member for nearly 17 years! Deacon's Hope was born to honor that magnificent dog, and Deacon's Hope pledges to save as many lives as possible- getting them vetted and healthy if they need extra care and then placed in the best possible homes. We cannot, and will not, turn our backs on any breed in need, but we do focus on the German Shepherd Dog and mixes.
DHR is an all volunteer program. We DO NOT have a shelter. All DHR animals are fostered in homes with one of our volunteer families. Speaking of foster families... we, like all rescues are in desperate need of more! If you would like to provide a place for an orphan to crash for a spell, please check out the tab above for FAQs and a Foster Application. Even if it is only one dog at a time, it is one more dog that wouldn't be saved without your help. Can we count on you to help us save another?
We have a 100% spay/neuter policy. No animals leave our foster families until they have been spayed or neutered.
Now let's go save another dog!
