D.A.W.F was developed by Wayne and Bobbi Dunning. Wayne was a builder and Bobbi an executive for a major bank when they decided to start a restaurant business and after a successful fifteen year run thought it was time to retire. With that behind them the idea of helping animals came to mind so they decided on this worthy cause. To start the foundation off they donated their 120 acre farm and are president and vice president of the corporation. Eventually their entire estate will go to D.A.W.F. Thanks to the valued help of others the foundation is reaching the goal of assisting animals with their daily needs and will well into the future.

Throughout their lifetime together the Dunning's have taken in many strays they came across as well as adopting senior pets. They found that to be rewarding but also heartbreaking as the seniors were in the later stages of life and it is hard to see them go. Many had been breeders or in shelters due to their age and they were happy to give them a last home with people and other animals that loved them.

To see the change from an abused animal to one that is loved and cared for is amazing. Our goal is to help find loving homes for those critters in need.

We can't operate without your help so please donate to D.A.W.F. with whatever you can afford and possibly sign up with our monthly program to help us on this journey ​
