A Better Place is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization!  All items purchased by the final bidder is tax deductible. We are a group of foster homes, specializing in all-breed dog rescue and pet education. We believe that long term kenneling is unhealthy for the animals, therefore A Better Place has volunteer foster families who care for dogs until a forever home is located. We strongly believe that the people in the community make the difference and that education is the key.  Our Mission: Provide companion animal education, promote and provide spaying and neutering of pets, and continue rescue work to make the community "A Better Place".
