The Dog Aide Mission is to educate dog owners, identify needs of communities, supply owners with food and daily care items, provide access and financial help for routine veterinary care, and network with rescues and community organizations to help people get the food and financial assistance they need. We are the ?dog?s aides? people who contribute to the fulfillment of a need or furtherance of an effort or purpose. ?To aid? is a verb, ?aide? is a noun. Being a part of Dog Aide is not what we do, it is who we are.
