Background and More Information
DogHeirs was founded to help dogs in need and improve canine health and safety. Be sure to take advantage of some of the other features we've created to help dogs and dog guardians such as:
- Post alerts of health and safety dangers that may threaten pets in your area through the DogHeirs NeighborHound Watch. Alerts can include wildilfe warnings, disease outbreaks, food recalls, poisonings, etc.
- Report lost dogs (which include interactive search maps for the lost dogs and lost dog posters)
- List dogs available for adoption
