Petzone Dog Rescue & Thrift ShopSave a Life--Rescue a Dog
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.
