Website of the Day - The Vick House Project

A project to convert a property notorious for dogfighting into a shelter for abused dogs.

The Vick House Project is an opportunity to make a good ending to a sad story. For much of this past year, Americans have heard about the tragic tales of mistreatment and abuse to dogs for the purpose of dog fighting.

The Vick House Project is a chance to purchase the property in Surry County, Virginia, that was the center of the dog fighting tragedy. After which it will become a shelter for abused and mistreated dogs.

The project isn’t a political statement or an attempt to point fingers at those involved in the mistreatment of these defenseless dogs. This is a chance to give back to the spirit of the animals that were harmed. It is a chance for animal lovers to contribute to a noble cause. It is a chance to create a happy final chapter to a sordid and tragic tale.

After purchase, we will turn to an organization such as the SPCA to seek assistance in operations.

In the event we fail to purchase the property (should the property be bought before we successfully get the property de-listed), all monies raised will go to the ASPCA. (We will contact donors of contributions larger than $1,000 to discuss specific wishes with the donation, to include returning the donation.)
