CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) – Crystal Ellis with Dogs Forever Rescue in Cedar Rapids said of the pets housed in the shelter, “They didn’t choose to be here. You know, it’s not their fault.”
“A shelter dog just is looking for their next journey in life,” Ellis added.
Dogs Forever is a waystation for dogs on their journey to a new home, a place where these pets aren’t certain of what comes next. However, the people who come to the rescue have a clear mission they’re passionate about.
“We don’t have any paid staff. So we are 100% donation based,” said Ellis.
The rescue is not only volunteer-run—it’s also pretty small.
Each year during the month of November, Dogs Forever holds an annual dog food drive, but they don’t actually want you to buy them food.
“We’re asking for gift cards because we have a very small shelter and our storage space is pretty limited,” said Ellis.
