The Dog House Rescue

The Dog House Rescue is the pet project of two dog lovers that wandered into a municipal animal shelter to pick up one new family member and left with seven. Like much of the public, we had mistakenly believed that most shelters are able to provide a no-kill haven for homeless animals. Due to overcrowding, the euthanasia rate at one facility alone is 80%. With the average dog having less than one week to find an adopter, it is easy to find great dogs who were simply born in an unfortunate geographic area. We exist to help bridge the gap between loving homes seeking good citizen companions and good natured dogs looking for an opportunity to show their stuff. Those that have found themselves in a shelter through no fault of their own and would otherwise be euthanized for space are given medical treatment, spayed/neutered, and obedience trained so that they may continue to be good citizens in their forever families.Our adoption process begins with an application painting a picture of the adopter’s preferences and capabilities and moves forward with meet and greets. Adopters get to know their future family member and we enjoy learning about each individual’s hopes and dreams for their new friend. With a match made and personal chemistry being mutual, the adoption contract is finalized and hand offs are celebrated with a free training session. This complimentary hour with a professional trainer, already well known to each dog, helps owners to speak their loved one’s language and provides an additional point of contact for any questions that may arise in the future.All residents at The Dog House are considered family for life. We understand that personal tragedies happen. If a Dog House member is ever unable to continue in their adopted home, they are welcomed back with open arms. Having already survived the shelter once, our promise to them is to never be homeless again.
