Welcome to the DAWN program
DAWN is our animal shelter support program that officially begins on October 1, 2011. We have chosen to conduct this program because we believe that by working with and meeting the special website needs of animal shelters across the country we can hold their costs to a minimum, while showing our support for the wonderful work they do.

For example a website with similar features may cost in the neighborhood of $6,000.00 to $10,000.00 or more, but with the DAWN program, we can make the same website available for about $50 a month. This even includes the hosting costs.

Your DAWN project website is customized for your participating shelter.

Because your shelters DAWN website is dynamic, a majority of the content can be easily managed by a staff member or volunteer you asign to the task. The website is managed via your shelters secure on-line control panel. The control panel is designed to be used by almost anyone, because NO special skills are needed. You can also manage your website 24/7, when ever you need or have time, and your changes take effect immediately.
