DAWG provides medical care and helping hands to comfort sick, injured, neglected and frightened animals that come into the Mission Viejo Animal Shelter. Each year through membership dues, donations, and fundraising events we are able to help hundreds of animals have a second chance at life. We are a volunteer organization without any paid staff. DAWG is committed to providing medical care and helping hands to comfort sick, injured and frightened animals that come into the Mission Viejo animal shelter until they can be reunited with their families or, in the event they have been abandoned, adopted to new families.
