Who We AreThe mission of the Darbster Foundation is to reduce the number of adoptable cats and dogs being euthanized in the Southern United States. We do this through partnering with animal shelters in the south, providing our own transport to our two adoption centers in New Hampshire and by partnering with other animal welfare organizations in the Northeast that will accept animals. When the restaurant, “Darbster”, opened in 2009, the Foundation was formed. 100% of all profits from Darbster Food go toward The Darbster Foundation. The Foundation now has two adoption facilities in New Hampshire. In 2014, Darbster Kitty was opened in Manchester, New Hampshire to facilitate the rescue, transport and adoption of kitties. Darbster Doggy, which is located in Chichester, New Hampshire, opened in 2018. Both these facilities offer boarding services with a portion of the fees going to help support further rescue efforts. Our goal is to make Darbster Foundation a self-supporting entity by operating profitable entities, funding 100% of the operating expenses. We are not there yet but getting closer each year.

This Year Our efforts have focused on the rescue and transport of highly adoptable kitties and dogs out of overcrowded conditions in South Florida to areas in New England where demand is significantly stronger. A tremendous help to this effort has been our partnerships with other rescue organizations in the New England area: Salem Animal Rescue League (SARL), Humane Society & Shelter South Coast, Standish Humane Society and the Ellen M. Gifford Cat Shelter to name a few.
Utilizing both our own adoption facility in Manchester and the facilities of our partner rescue organizations, kitty transports proceed at a record pace each year. At mid-year 2020, over 800 kitties have been transported and adopted. In 2019 Darbster Kitty transported and found homes for over 1700 kitties. In 2019, Darbster Doggy pulled 143 adoptable dogs from overcrowded shelters in South Florida and transported to our own shelter in Chichester. At mid year year in 2020, we have already transported 144 dogs. Additionally, we continue our Healing Hearts Program at the Animal Care and Control facility in West Palm Beach. Instead of heart worm positive dogs being euthanized they are adopted out and treated with funds raised by the Darbster foundation. The Foundation also sponsors spay/neuter surgeries and medical care of community animals. We have sponsored the spay/neuter surgeries of over 3,000 community animals and assisted with the medical care of an additional 50+ community animals. |
