                             Our Statement of Purpose

                                              Mikes Dog House, Inc

Is a FL Non Profit Corporation with a 501(c)3 tax exempt status. The past and present activities of Mikes Dog House, Inc have been simply the rescue of good, adoptable dogs from death row and abusive situations and posting them on the web so that people who are looking to adopt, can see them. Here are some of the programs we are striving to accomplish.


                                           HOMELESS HELPING HOMELESS

Putnam County and most of Northern FL has a huge overpopulation of dogs and cats. A large facility is badly needed here. Mikes Dog House plans to raise money to purchase or build that large facility and eventually improvise a program which will provide housing for the homeless people who would be willing to volunteer their services to animal care. Housing and food will be provided to the homeless in exchange for their service to the animals.


                                           FREE SPAY AND NEUTER CLINIC

We plan to attack the overpopulation problem by raising the funds to provide an in-house free Spay and Neuter Clinic as incentive to stop the overpopulation of domestic animals in Northern FL.


                                           SENIOR PETS FOR SENIOR PEOPLE

Many strays are a result of owner death or illness. We feel all senior citizens should have the company of a pet if they desire. This program will encourage older folks to adopt older pets who normally wouldn't get a second chance. This would enable these animals to live out their lives and be happy. Older animals are more mello, already trained, and better behaved which makes them more suitable for older people.


                                         PUBLIC EDUCATION AND AWARENESS

90% of the overpopulation problem is due to the ignorance of the owners of these animals. Mikes Dog House will strive to educate people to create accountability.


                                              LEGISLATION AND POLITICS

Animal ownership needs to become a "revocable" privilege. All of these problems are because it is not. We need to lobby to create new laws and take bold steps in setting standards which will protect our animals as well as our citizens. When a person is found to be abusing an animal, not only should they be lawfully reprimanded, their right to ownership should be revoked. Just as a child molester gets a brand of sorts, so should the animal abuser. All animals should have to be licensed with the city and only be licensed if they are up to date with all shots and have been spayed or neutered unless they are a part of a recognized Breeding Facility. This should prevent the future creation of puppy mills and help us shut down the existing ones. Mikes Dog House is dedicated to bringing these intelligent
 solutions into law. Not just in FL, but in all the states... for all the Bullie's sakes.
