Saved By Fate Dog Rescue, a 501(c)(3) organization, is a dog rescue organization in Central Kentucky that specializes in pulling dogs at high risk of euthanasia from Kentucky shelters. Bully breeds, specifically pit bull type dogs, hold a special place in the hearts of the Saved by Fate’s founders, Mara DeLaus and Ciara Hagedorn, and are prioritized by their Intake Team.
In an effort to break the cycle of more dogs ending up in shelters, Saved By Fate offers a completely free Spay & Neuter Assistance Program to Kentucky residents. At the end of 2023, SBF started to extend their assistance to rural KY animal shelter partners in need of additional resources as to avoid dogs being adopted out unaltered.
Additionally, Co-Founder, Ciara Hagedorn, regularly visits local schools to educate Kentucky youth on the importance of spaying and neutering, professional dog training, and adopting from animal rescues and shelters.
