Welcome to
the web site of Best Dawg Rescue, Inc. (DAWG).
DAWG's
focus is on at-risk dogs in shelters right here in our community. We
save injured, ill, neglected, starved and simply unwanted dogs, with an
emphasis on those requiring medical care, or dogs who are
overlooked because they are shy or older. We restore their health and
nurture them until they are ready for adoption, and then find them their
"forever homes" through personalized home visits and then placements.
No dog is ever returned to the shelter because the dog took too much of
our funds, time or effort. If an adoption fails, we gladly take
our dogs back. We are committed to our dogs for the rest of their lives.
DAWG invites you to
visit our
animals on this web site and by attending our weekly
adoption events (we do not have a shelter). Please contact us by
email if you have questions, or simply apply online, which
generally ensures a dog of interest will be at the next adoption
show. (Note that DAWG does not choose applications on a first
come, first served basis but by "best fit.") If you need
assistance in selecting an appropriate pet, or general advice
and resources regarding behavior and training for your own
dog, please contact us at
dawg@dawg-rescue.org.
We can't save shelter dogs without YOUR financial help. Adoption fees cover only a nominal portion of each dog's expenses! Approximately 96% of our donations is spent on the dogs in our care; the remainder is spent on necessary administrative expenses including a yearly audit. Donations are not used for payroll, rent, gas, supplies or fundraising. DAWG efficiently uses every donated dollar by contracting for as-needed services, which are often discounted or even donated at times. PLEASE DONATE GENEROUSLY!
Because "a seen dog is an adopted dog," we urge individuals to
consider volunteering at our weekly adoption events. For
additional information on volunteering, contact us at
dawg@dawg-rescue.org.

Please be an advocate for responsible pet ownership. All
animals are defenseless and dependent on our care. They need
positive training, quality food, medical care, and a lifetime of
love. If you are aware of abuse or neglect of an animal, it is
your responsibility to contact Animal Control in your area.
