We are a 501(c)(3) Non-profit organization. Our organization works with
families and other rescues to help save dogs from the Mahoning County
Pound in Youngstown, Ohio. This pound is a high-kill facility that is only
required to hold dogs for 72 hours before euthanasia. This is done via
heartstick.

Canine Crusaders is looking for adopters, fosters, rescues, transporters,
dog walkers, donations and people to sponsor Mahoning County Pound
dogs. The dogs are Urgent and Canine Crusaders will assist anyone that
needs it...rescues or individuals. We do have an approval process. We
have PayPal and will pay the pound.

Regarding fosters: The more foster homes = the more dogs that can be
saved. Foster homes can be as much as 180 miles away. Canine
Crusaders provides necessary vetting. The cost of food & toys is up to the
foster. Prerequisites such as fenced yard, experience, etc. may depend on
the type of dog to be fostered.

Regarding sponsoring: This does not guarantee that the dog's life will be
saved but it certainly increases the chances that it will be saved. Sponsor-
ing encourages rescues to take in more dogs due to the decreased cost.

Partial sponsorship is $80. This includes Spay/Neuter, Rabies, DHLPP and
Strongbid. The remaining expense for rescues is the $50 pull fee.

Full Sponsorship is #130. This includes the $50 pull fee in addition to Spay
/Neuter, Rabies, DHLPP and Strongbid. This enables rescues to take dogs
FREE Of fees.

If a dog you sponsor is adopted or Euthanized...the sponsorship is then
rolled over to a dog in greatest need.
