Hundreds of hunting dogs are abandoned after hunting season. This epidemic of needless cruelty must end.
Hunting Dog Protection Project (HDPP) is a nonprofit organization committed to protecting abandoned hunting dogs in South Carolina and the southern United States. We raise awareness, share their stories, and advocate for change so these dogs are no longer left behind.
Tanner was found on the side of the road in South Carolina, hungry and scared.
No other dogs should experience what Tanner experience. Sadly, this is the reality for many dogs in the southern United States.
How do we help abandoned hunting dogs?
Volunteer at animal shelters in January through March
January is the end of hunting season in the south, and this is when hunting dogs are often overwhelming shelters.
Spread awareness
Not many people know about this issue, so spreading awareness is key to demanding a change.
Contact your local legislators
Let your local legislator know that you care about protecting hunting dogs.
