Our Mission
Rescuing homeless dogs and placing them in permanent, loving homes utilizing comprehensive adoption procedures to ensure dogs and families are well-matched.
Providing lifetime sanctuary for dogs that are difficult to place in adoptive homes due to having significant behavioral and/or medical issues.
To put an end to the killing of homeless dogs in our nation and to practice and promote resources, relationships and activities that encourage canine well-being.
Our Vision
To provide a compassionate paradigm of canine rescue that can be replicated by organizations and individuals, ensuring that once a dog is rescued, his/her safety, quality of life and needs are never compromised again.
A nation where dogs are not considered property in the legal system, subsequently ending the practices that create mass homelessness and perpetuate dogs as disposable commodities.
A day when animal shelters are only needed for unforeseen circumstances and where every dog is guaranteed a safe and happy home.

History
Celebration of Canine Lives Sanctuary (CCLS) was founded after I spent many years volunteering for no-kill rescue organizations and participating in all aspects of rescue work including but not limited to adoptions, fundraising, dog walking, positive reinforcement training, enrichment activities and public relations.
When CCLS was first incorporated, we had not yet purchased property for the sanctuary; all of our work revolved around helping individuals/families get their pets spayed and neutered. We also helped pet “parents” with funding for other veterinary care their animals needed. Spay/neuter and high-quality medical care is an important aspect of our mission; we work to decrease the number of animals coming into shelters.
We looked for a property for a handful of years with no luck. After viewing hundreds of properties online and close to sixty properties in person, we came across an ideal property in Ischua and we immediately knew that it was the one. We purchased this property in Fall of 2019 and are now in the process of readying the land and the facilities for homeless dogs in need.
