Most of our volunteers have several dogs themselves.Our rescues come from several sources. First and foremost being owner turn-ins -these are dogs whose owners can no longer care for them. We take the dog into our organization rather than having the dog turned over to the Humane Society or Animal Care and Control. There is great value bringing these dogs into our program. They are less likely to be exposed to disease or suffer mental stress by moving from a home situation to a smaller program such as ours. The transition for the dog to the new home is much easier. Owner turn-ins also allow us to have a more complete history of the dog. We participate in the Maricopa County Animal Care & Control New Hope Program. The program allows us to intake dogs that are slated to be euthanized, often for no other reason than a lack of space. In addition, we work with other rescue groups who may not have room for a specific dog. Once we intake a dog it usually will spend time in a foster home. Our foster homes are all volunteers that care for their foster dogs as if they were their own. This includes working on housebreaking, basic training, grooming and medical care. All dogs available for adoption have had a basic veterinary checkup, have current vaccinations and a micro chip.ALGBR is dedicated to educating the public on the breeds we rescue.

Our hope is that no rescue organization will ever be forced to turn down an animal in need due to a health problem, or high medical bills.

We have a very extensive and careful screening process to insure that our animals find the perfect forever home.

Our sanctuary is located in Glenwood, near DeLand, FloridaDescription JOURNEY'S END ANIMAL SANCTUARY is a private sanctuary with a capacity for over 300 dogs, cats, horses, pigs, sheep, and birds who have been abused, neglected or have special needs. Unlike traditional shelters that emphasize adoption, the primary purpose of Journey's End is to provide lifetime care and sheltering of animals who, while still able to lead a quality life, are unable to find homes due to old age, chronic illness, handicaps, temperament issues or other factors.In addition to food, shelter and medical treatment, the animals receive nurturing attention in a secure, homelike setting scaled appropriately to promote maximum human contact and quality of life for each resident animal. The bucolic setting consists of a large attractive ranch house and out buildings, surrounded by acres of mature trees, shrubs, lawn, and horse pastures. There are no cages and animals are free to move about, interacting with one another, volunteer staff members and other humans who visit the sanctuary. The perimeter of the property is fenced to provide security and protection for the animals.The mission of Journey's End also includes expanding a program to educate the public, and promoting animal sponsorship programs. School programs have been a dominant theme and will continue to be a major focus. Special emphasis is given to the responsibilities of pet ownership, spay/neuter programs, and the reporting of animal abuse.To preserve and develop Journey's End (established 1974), a board of directors was formed in August 1998 and non-profit status 501(c)(3) was granted in 1999. Initially, the sanctuary was personally funded by its founder Florence Thuot.Private donations and sponsorships provide the majority of funds. Currently, there is no local, state, or federal government funding.By example, Journey's End hopes to change the public's attitude toward euthanasia of animals who are otherwise capable of living a quality life, and to show the importance of humanely caring for all animals, including those who have been abused, neglected, or have special needs.

While the Adoption expenses may be negotiable for some dogs, please remember that the care and upkeep of a dog, even the "King of Toys", requires some financial outlay, and if a small placement expense is beyond your means, you may wish to consider a pet which does not require as much care as the Miniature Pinscher.

I have alot of background in dog training and behaviour. Also, I have helped saved many dogs from being euthanized at various animal shelters by taking the time they may not have had, and researching and finding new homes for the "hard to place" dogs at shelters and pounds. I have been certified in dog training school but it goes way beyond the "basic training". In my experience the dogs that really needed saving and rehab for placement are the ones that the shelters would not adopt out for as they say "liability" reasons. In other words, not to blame them, they need to protect their organizations, but the dogs need to be socialized and retrained or rehabbed and they are understaffed and volunteers have to abide by their rules. I have a circle of experienced dog loving people who have found each other through the same concerns and venues. Trying to help the so called "impossible dog" to place in just any homes. The dogs have failed the infamous" temp tests" that are OFTEN times given by inexperienced shelter staff and their "trainers"! Many dogs I have seen be destroyed because they gave the "whale eye" to a "trainer" who then would fail the dog, and therefore, well, the dog was put down because he may have been misjudged by an inexperienced person. I am not saying that all tests are bad I am just saying that you canot predict a dogs behaviour all the time, so why not consider the circumstances and give the dog another chance? I realize that this is a debate that could go on forever. So, I would rather help by helping people who need help with dogs, and dogs that need help with their people. If I am not qualified I will not pretend to know all, I will simply direct you to who may help you. MY intention is to help keep people from making the devasating decision to surrender their beloved pet to a shelter or vice-versa, have pets get adopted and then go back to the shelter just to be bounced around or worse "yes worse" euthanized.

In October 2004 we joined efforts to form Yorkies Inc., a new type of organization dedicated to help Yorkies in need of re-homing for whatever the reason. Because we are small we offer a dedication and bonding to the dogs that is often lacking in other national groups. We can also work very closely with the surrendering families to insure piece of mind to them, while also offering safe and caring foster homes knowledgeable of the breed. We take great pride in providing the very best veterinary care and finding the very best forever homes for the dogs entrusted to us. It is because of this passion for the breed that we are very selective on the homes in which we will place our Yorkies. All our pups are completely vetted and are spayed or neutered before placement.

It is our belief that every Pug should be in an environment where they are loved and safe. Although we do not believe in the puppy mill industry, we also do not believe that any Pug should be faced with a life inside of a puppy mill. We have therefore taken the stance that whenever we have the opportunity to buy a Pug's freedom we will do so. When these Pugs are placed on the auction block or just offered for sale at a puppy mill, other mills are invited to the sale. As a result, the Pug will either be sold or if no other mill wants the Pug, it may be destroyed. It is therefore our belief that although our money does in fact benefi t the mill, it frees the Pug and in some cases saves its life. All pugs are examined by our Veterinarian and treated for any health issues that may be present, immunized against Rabies, Distemper, Corona, Bordetella, microchipped, spay/neutered, Heartworm and Fecal tested. After observing the Pug to determine what type of home best suits the Pug's personality, it will be placed in a home where the love and care of the Pug is a priority. We will take in any Pug whose health will allow it to live in an environment that provides an acceptable quality of life. Any Pug that is not adoptable due to health issues will be permanently placed in a loving foster home to live out their life with dignity and without pain. If it were not for your assistance we would not be able to accomplish our goals. no longer fits in. A change in lifestyle also occurs through divorce or an employment change, and results in the Pug being left without a home.
