Dayton Doggie Rescue Ranch - Best Friend Project

Pets can play a major role in our lives and our recovery. For some, a beloved pet may be their reason for getting out of bed each day.

All too often, the lack of sheltering options for pets can be a reason why peers delay treatment for substance use or why domestic violence victims stay with their abusers!

The Best Friend Project realizes the roles that pets play in an individual’s recovery journey. We want to make sure that our peers and their best friends do not get separated!

Mental health, substance use disorder, domestic violence - starting your recovery journey is hard but our Peer Support Specialists and Peer Recovery Specialists want to help!

Through temporary sheltering in our facility, pet owner education, Peer Support services, and community outreach, we are dedicated to making a difference!
