Welcome to our Dog Adoption Center! At any one time RESCUE has between 40 and 60 dogs in our "system". Our volunteers rescue these dogs from the euthanasia list at our local animal care and control shelters. Most commonly these dogs have been abandoned by their owners, or picked up/turned in as strays. Once we rescue a dog, he or she stays with us until we find it a permanent loving home.

While with us, our dogs are housed either in our network of fabulous foster homes, or are boarded with one of our veterinary partners. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered and have received their 4 in 1 and rabies vaccinations.

In 2002, RESCUE instituted what we call our MatchMaker Adoption Process which focuses on making lifetime matches between families/individuals and our animals. If you find a dog you are interested in, just click on our MatchMaker link to see how our process works and to submit a MatchMaker Information Form. If we don't currently have a dog that seems just right, you can still begin the adoption process. Considering we have many adoptions every month, we always have new dogs for you to consider.

If you want to learn more about RESCUE, our animals, and our adoption process, be sure to visit our FAQs. For some great information about animal behavior, training, and health issues, peruse our fabulous Recommended Readings. With our years of experience, we offer some valuable insight to ensure you have addressed all the potential issues.

RESCUE charges every adopter a services fee to help offset the investment we have already made in each dog we rescue. These costs include: spaying or neutering, vaccinations, as well as boarding and other medical costs. Some of our animals require medical care far above and beyond the norm. In the case of our dogs, our services fee also includes the cost of your dog license. While our minimum services fee for dogs is $125⁰⁰, please know that any amount you can contribute in excess of that minimum is much appreciated and fully tax-deductible.
