One Dog at a Time Rescue

One Dog at a Time Rescue was started by a few dog loving ladies in Oct 2010. They work to find loving homes for the friendly, dogs in need in our community. All the dogs adopted through One Dog at a Time Rescue are altered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped prior to adoption. These dogs are fostered in homes so they can work on housebreaking and basic training and better learn the personalities and needs of the dog to match them with their perfect adopters. Please help One Dog at a Time Rescue continue their great work in our community.

Wheels on Fire Cancer Crusaders

The Wheels on Fire Cancer Crusaders team is a ministry outreach of Beaver Dam Community Church and has been supporting cancer patients for over 20 years. When a patient is going through the treatments and struggles of cancer, they often find that expenses begin to be overwhelming and sometimes they have trouble meeting their basic living expenses. It is our mission to raise money so that life will be just a little easier during a very difficult time. The funds we raise are divided between the Cancer Care Funds of Kosciusko and Fulton Counties.

A Country Christmas with Susie McEntire / Leesburg Methodist Church

Because of our generous sponsors, including our fiscal sponsor, Leesburg Methodist Church Country Christmas with Susie McEntire and friends is a free heartwarming celebration filled with music, faith, and the simple joys of the season while collecting toys for tots that benefit children in our community. Known for her uplifting country and gospel songs, Susie brings a special charm to Christmas, sharing heartfelt stories and timeless carols that capture the true spirit of the holiday, where family and friends gather to reflect on the season’s meaning. Susie’s warm vocals fill the air with classics like Silent Night alongside joyful country tunes, creating an atmosphere of love and togetherness. Her deep-rooted faith shines through, often including a reading of the Christmas story, reminding everyone of the true reason for the celebration. A Country Christmas with Susie McEntire is more than just a concert it’s an experience that touches the heart, brings people together, and celebrates the blessings of Christmas with authenticity and grace.

While Susie and her husband Mark are in town, they immerse themselves in our community by visiting a local women’s shelter, spending time with folks in JCAP at the Kosciusko County Jail, they have made appearances at Chamber and City of Warsaw events and more.

In 2024, we had visitors from the state of Washington to New York and states in between. It is worth mentioning, the indirect economic impact to our community was approximately $90,000 – not including the enormous amount of toys that were collected for toys for tots.

Animal Welfare League of Kosciusko County

We serve all of Kosciusko County

All animals are welcomed into our care providing we have room. We never euthanize for space. We do everything possible to find them forever homes.

Working with an overflowing population of pets requires constant attention, health care and love. Our passionate staff works hard to maintain a clean, healthy facility, and to provide love while they are in our care. Every pet that we take in gets a complete wellness check. We provide microchips, vaccines, spay/neuter, and any needed health care.

We feel that pets are a wellness program for all people, especially for our older population in the county who participate in our “Life Style Pets for Seniors” by adopting our pets that we see would do best with seniors or people with disabilities! Pets can keep the elderly active just by walking them, taking them out to potty, feeding them and playing with them. Pets are family and provide Unconditional Love and Companionship for everyone!
