Search Dog Foundation
The mission of the Search Dog Foundation is to produce the most highly trained canine disaster search teams in the nation. The job of these teams is to find people buried alive in the wreckage of natural disasters and terrorist attacks. To create these teams, SDF recruits rescued dogs from shelters and breed rescue groups, gives them professional training, and partners them with firefighters and other first responders at no cost to their departments. We ensure lifetime care for every dog in our program: once rescued, these dogs will never need to be rescued again. SDF receives no government funding, and relies on our supporters throughout the country to provide these services.

Safe Harbor
Safe Harbor Prison Dog Program started with the thought in mind about how many dogs could be saved with access to the resources a prison could provide. All of the dogs were out of time at various animal shelters throughout the State of Kansas and the MidWest. Safe Harbor has more than 90 inmates in the dog program and the effect on these inmates is very profound. These inmates have something positive that they can be proud of. The dogs are the highlight of prison tours and visit inmates in the hospice center. These prison dogs and their stories reach out and grab the public. Potential adopters love being a part of what they have come to call a ‘noble cause.’

ARF's Celebrity Pet Calendar
100% of donations raised from ARF's 2006 Celebrity Pet Calendar will be donated to help save the abandoned and injured dogs and cats left orphaned as a result of Hurricane Katrina in the flood ravaged southern United States. As an organization, ARF saves the lives of loving dogs and cats who have run out of time at public shelters. ARF gives another chance at life to dogs and cats who otherwise would have been killed.

Great Wall Charity Missions
It has been of dream of Snow Wu's to create a Charity Mission sector of Great Wall China Adoption, dedicated solely to providing better conditions for the children yet to be adopted. Snow has accomplished her dream by launching three programs within Great Wall Charity Missions: Libraries of Love, Angel Stitches, and Gifts of Love. Libraries of Love builds libraries in Chinese orphanages and fills them with books, computers, and other educational tools. Angel Stitches pays for children to receive needed surgeries that might otherwise go uncorrected due to the orphanages having limited resources. Gifts of Love provides a way for parents to donate gifts to the Chinese orphanages that cared for their children; gifts that improve the orphanages and enhance the lives of the children left behind.
