A community about dogs.

Breeds, tips and tricks about training and behaviour, news affecting dog owners, canine photography, dog-related art and any questions related to dog ownership.

Rules

  1. Posts must be related to dogs or dog ownership and must not be void of content.
  2. This is a neutral space. No bigotry or personal attacks. Criticism should be polite and constructive.
  3. No automated content. This includes AI generated imagery, post body, articles, comments or automated accounts.
  4. No advertising or self-promotion.
  5. Illegal or unethical practices are frowned upon, and any comments or posts suggesting them will be removed. This includes, but is not limited to, backyard breeding, ear and tail cropping, fake service animals, negative reinforcement, alpha/pack/dominance theory, and eugenics.
  6. No judging or attacking community members who care for dogs with cropped ears, docked tails, or those from puppy mills or questionable sources. While we discourage these practices (per Rule 5), all dogs deserve loving homes and compassionate care regardless of their background or physical alterations.
  7. No breed discrimination, all breeds welcome. Our stance matches the ASPCA's official stance and is not up for debate.
  8. Citing your sources when making a claim is encouraged. Misinformation will be removed.

๐Ÿพ Hello, Dog Lovers! ๐Ÿพ

We're Hope Paws Support Fund โ€” a brand new, 100% volunteer-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Lake Forest, serving all of Orange County (founded Feb 2026).

We started because too many dogs are at risk and too many families say goodbye. We can't look away. We can't do this alone.

What we do & our 2026 goal:

๐Ÿฅ Emergency vet care for 12 dogs โ€” keep families together

๐Ÿšช Fund rescues to pull 24 dogs from high-risk shelters

๐Ÿš— Transport dogs to safety, any distance for 12 dogs

๐Ÿก Build foster/adoptive home network

We need you!

โœ… Volunteers (transport, social media, outreach)

โœ… Flyer distributors โ€” print our flyer and hang it at your local coffee shop, vet clinic, library, or community board

โœ… Supporters (shares, kind words, donations)
