Kamp Kritter rescue foundation is a nonprofit 501c-3
no kill animal shelter for injured, abandoned, neglected, abused and
homeless dogs. We were founded 13 years ago when Sue Towler, on the
way home from a pet sitting appointment, came across hurt pit bull mix
puppy at a gas station. He was named Sir Little Champ after the store
where he was found hungry, skinny and hot. Since then, kamp kritter
has grown into a true safe haven where over 25 dogs cared for by Kamp
Kritter are either put up for adoption or find sanctuary and a happy
ending after a long and ugly life of neglect abuse. Sue received her
non profit status in 2004 with the hopes of maximizing her opportunities
for saving more lives. Though many of her dogs find forever homes, just
as many live out their lives in comfort, love and respect within the
sacntuary walls of Sue's Kamp Kritter facility. These dogs live out
their days with dignity alongside the happy go lucky younger and healthier
kamp residents who are deemed more adoptable due to their age and good
health. The colorful assortment of dogs which include a lot of pit bulls
and pit bull mixes strike a harmonious chord at Kamp Kritter and there
is never a dull moment. Some of the more memorable stories can be found
on the gallery page. No matter how you slice
it, the philosophy at Kamp Kritter is come as you are as even if you
do not have all your body parts, will never trust people again or have
a terminal illness. We are kind of like the island for misfit toys in
the 1960s santa claus cartoon. Every resident is spayed and neutered,
wormed, loved and treated for all manner of illness from heartworms
to amputation. Please feel free to browse the sanctuary section of this
website for photographic portrayal of what we do for the dogs.
About Sue Towler
Kamp
Kritter was founded about 13 years ago by Sue Towler when she noticed
an injured, hungry, skinny, overheated pit bull mix puppy at a gas
station while returning from pet sitting and took him home with
her. She named him Sir Little Champ after his rescue location and
her passion for saving dogs was born. Kamp Kritter received its
nonprofit status in 2004 with the hopes of maximizing the opportunities
for saving more lives.
Since its inception, Kamp Kritter has cared for over 50 dogs who
have been adopted into loving, caring, “forever home”
families. In addition, our shelter houses many dogs who have become
permanent members of the Kamp Kritter family, where they live out
their days in a loving, peaceful environment of dignity and respect.
Sue and her volunteers ensure that these sanctuary residents avoid
an ugly life of neglect, abuse, and homelessness. Click
