THE SKYLAR PROJECT
The Skylar Project was created in honor of the many rescues we have adopted into our family.
With great respect for all of the rescues in our life, The Skylar Project now raises funds with the sole purpose of donating to canine rescue organizations that provide shelter, food, rehabilitation, training, transportation, surgeries, and medications to give rescues a second chance. Each individual rescue dog's needs are carefully considered to make sure that we are able to make a true difference in their new lives.
Financial support for pitbull rescue.
The Skylar Project raises funds to support canine rescue organizations that serve the South Oregon area for the necessary care, medical attention, and training for rescues, especially Pitbulls. Our mission is to help ensure their physical and emotional well-being. By rescuing and rehoming Pitbulls, the strain on overcrowded shelters is alleviated, the number of dogs euthanized each year is reduced, dogs that have been mistreated or misjudged are provided a second chance, and a better future is created for these dogs.
Pitbulls are commonly misunderstood and stereotyped as aggressive dogs. As a result, they are often abandoned or mistreated, and many end up in shelters or on the streets. As we work to rehabilitate and rehome these dogs, we also hope to dispel the negative stereotypes propelled by media, lack of education, legislation, and the abuse and neglect of owners.
Pitbull rehabilitation costs add up fast.
The Skylar Project is devoted to rehabilitating and re-homing rescue dogs. We strive to give dogs in need a second chance at life by providing them with love, care, and medical attention. The average cost of rehabilitating a dog can range from a few hundred dollars to thousands with veterinary care, behavioral therapy, specialty diets, and daily shelter and care.
Despite these costs, rehabilitating an abused dog for adoption is a rewarding and fulfilling endeavor. The love and joy a formerly abused dog can express once they have recovered is priceless, and the knowledge that you have played a role in their healing and well-being is immeasurable.
Every Rescue has to be evaluated for the proper care and treatment plan.

It takes a team
Rehabilitating an abused dog to prepare for adoption include many specialties:
-
Veterinary care: An abused dog may require a thorough evaluation and treatment of any physical injuries or medical conditions. This can include x-rays, blood tests, surgeries, and medication.
-
Behavioral therapy: Many abused dogs have trust issues and behavioral problems that require professional training and support. A certified dog behaviorist can help address these issues through positive reinforcement training and other techniques.
-
Specialized diets: Some abused dogs may have nutritional deficiencies or require special diets due to medical conditions. It is critical to provide proper nutrition to help the dog's body heal and provide energy for their emotional and physical recovery.
-
Shelter and care: Abused dogs may require extended periods of shelter and care, especially if they are unable to be placed in a foster or permanent home immediately. This can include the cost of food, bedding, toys, and other basic necessities.
There are also several other factors that can add to the overall cost of rehabilitating an abused dog. These may include legal fees, administrative costs, and advertising fees to promote the dog's adoption.
Hope restored.
Rehabilitating an abused dog can be a challenging and costly experience, but the rewards are priceless. Most abused dogs have emotional and physical trauma that can take months or even years to heal. These dogs require a lot of time, patience, and resources to get them back on track, but it is essential to provide them with a better life.
The most important thing to remember is that Pitbulls and other "Bullies" have been, throughout history, loving pets. And even more than just a pet in many cases, these square-faced, gentle canines were recognized as family child-care providers. As with any breed, sometimes an individual dog can be aggressive. Pitbulls have been wrongly stereotyped because, in the past, they were used for dog fighting. It is always important to socialize and train any dog properly to ensure they behave appropriately and are friendly and gentle regardless of breed and this is top priority in rescue therapy.
