Dog rescue organizations are groups run by individuals, small groups, or breed clubs that help find homes for unwanted animals. These loveable dogs come from a number of places, including animal shelters or private owners who can no longer keep their pets, for a variety of reasons.


Find a shelter: Search by your state, city, or ZIP code through the ASPCA's shelter finder.

Find a pet: Petfinder.com- A conglomeration of thousands of rescues nationwide. You can search by location, breed, sex, age, or even size of dog and come up with any number of potential adoptive candidates! Each dog's page contains a short bio and adoption information, and often a link to the shelter's website where the dog is residing. Petfinder also contains a "classifieds" section where individual owners looking to rehome their dogs may post.

Save a pet on death row: Needfulsouls.org- A nationwide site that features photos of pets for adoption in animal control shelters. All breeds can be found in shelters including chihuahua's,maltese, yorkie's, mastiff's and everything inbetween. They each have a story to tell. These animals will be put down if homes are not found immediately. Find your new friend today and save a life of a needy soul.

Find a breed: Visit the rescue pages, listed by breed, in the WikiFido breed directory. Or, search shelters and rescue groups in your city in the Dog-Friendly City Guides.

Add to these lists!

I live in Tennesse. There are a lot of breeders in the area that need to be shut down. I decided to do my part and so I became a volunteer for chihuahua rescue usa. I want to warn people about this rescue. Although there are a lot of great volunteers that foster so many of these poor dogs. I think something needs to be done about the people who run this Rescue. Some of the coordinators will adopt these poor dogs to anyone without doing the proper background check on people. They just want to get rid of the dogs and get money. The volunteers pay for all care of the dogs they foster. Volunteers even pay for the vet bills with the understanding of getting reimbursed by the guy who operates the finacial aspect of the rescue. Several of the volunteers have never been reimbursed. We have complained and begged for our reimbursements. We volunteer to help these poor animals. We don't think this guy should be making a profit. I quit volunteering for this rescue, but volunteer for others. I have yet to see a portion of reimbursement. We are hoping the IRS catches up with this thief without shutting down the rescue.

Shawn and Csilla are two of the most rudest people that I've ever met! If you want to be treated with rudness, consending attitudes, and complete disregard for your feelings, then go to this rescue. If you want to meet nice people that are helpful and people that don't make you feel like your the spawn of satan, then go anywhere else but Westside German Shepherd Rescue!!!

I've even read on the internet that because of these two very rude people, the shelter lost a $35,000.00 dollar donation!!!!!!!!!! That is very sad.
