Summary

There were about 4 million dogs put to death each year in US. But there were also many dogs who had found their new homes and started their new lifes by the helps of some caring people, and Alex Aliksanyan is definitely one of those caring ones. He was driven by a well-known saying of Mahatma Gandhi : "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." So he founded The Buddy Fund Inc, which is a nonprofit organization that aims to save dogs live by offering them the chance of adoption. He set up a site and post the information of dogs wating for adoption on it. If a dog was successfully adopted, its photo would be posted on the "Success Stories." section;if not, the destroyed dog’s photo would go to the "In Memoriam" page.
