Welcome to WOFAR, where we give a voice to the voiceless. As an all-volunteer non-profit based in Connecticut and fueled by community support, we rescue and rehabilitate dogs in need, providing specialized care, medical treatments, and lots of love for their journey to forever homes.
Beyond adoption fees, your support enables us to cover extensive medical and training expenses, ensuring every dog receives the care they deserve. Your donations pave the way for wagging tails and transformed lives, one paw at a time. Thank you for being a vital part of our mission to give every dog a chance at a loving home!
