Freedom

Who We Are. What We Change.

We liberate dogs from a life of pain ...

Unchained Melodies, Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, founded in 2015, devoted to freeing dogs from life on a chain, isolation in a pen, and other inhumane conditions all across Missouri. We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs who have been forgotten, abused, or left behind—providing them with medical care, behavioral support, and ultimately, loving indoor homes. Through community outreach, education, advocacy, and spay/neuter initiatives, we work to address the root causes of neglect and overpopulation. Every dog we rescue, heal, or keep safely in their home brings us one step closer to ending the cycle of suffering.
