The Home Stretch Dog Haven is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that began when we realized the extent to which dogs are truly creatures of  sentiment and the degree to which they suffer when they are homeless or being abused, neglected and traumatized.  Our focus is to provide  full rehabilitation services to dogs in a home environment, raise awareness about their unique situation in effort to find them their own perfect home which has been paired with them as individuals.

What makes us different from other rescues is that the dogs we take in are not only shelter animals or strays. They are unique dogs with specifics needs and we provide support and care  based on their needs and reactions to their situations.

Asian meat dogs are believed to be different than pet dogs and this justifies the horrific treatment they receive..to butcher  humanely is one thing, However those who eat dog meat believe the more the dog is tortured the better and more healthy meat meat is thus, they are beaten, burned, hung while still alive as part of the process of “making meat more healthy”.
