Listings are FREE for Dog Rescue Organizations

Searching to adopt a puppy or adult dog? Animal lover wanting to do your part helping a rescue or a shelter in need of volunteers and supplies?   Rescues and shelters depend on volunteers and donations to keep going.  They work hard to find "throw away" dogs new homes - and it isn't easy.  This site was founded to assist pet lovers searching for a rescue to obtain a pet, and for those that want to help rescuers by providing the things they need to continue.

Listing a resccue, shelter or humane organization is FREE.  Update it as often as you wish. We do not list individual puppies or dogs. You only get a marginal taste of a dog's personality in an Internet listing - so we feel the best way to find the ideal pet is to talk to a PERSON.  We welcome all purebred and mixed breed rescue organizations, including individuals that do private rescue (such as Vets, Groomers, Good Samaritans).  If you know of a rescue organization that helps dogs - register it here - it's FREE.  And while your at it, let us know what your rescue needs - volunteers, supplies, donations - and we'll put the word out. Why get a rescued dog?  Because they NEED you!!!  But here are some more good reasons!
