More about Rural Dog Rescue & the adoptable dogs:

Based in Washington, D.C., Rural Dog Rescue works with several high-kill shelters (who either euthanize dogs in 72 hours or whose kill rate is 70% or higher) in rural areas of Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina.

Rural Dog Rescues rely on a dedicated network of volunteers in the D.C. region and near shelters in rural areas of Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina. Their rescue is 100% volunteer-based with individuals assisting in the transport, adoption, and constant care of dogs without any compensation.

Adoptable dogs live in foster homes while waiting to find their forever homes. This living environment provides Rural Dog Rescue with better information on the dog’s personality, needs, and what sort of home might be the best fit. Their ultimate goal is to make great matches for both the adopters and the animals! 


Why adopting a dog is important:

  • You are saving a life. Millions of dogs are euthanized in shelters every year simply because they don't have a home. When you adopt a dog, you are giving them a second chance at life.

  • You are making a difference in the world. By adopting a dog, you are helping to reduce the number of animals in shelters and contributing to a more humane world.

  • You are getting a loving companion. Adopted dogs are just as loving and loyal as dogs from breeders. They will bring you years of companionship and love.

  • You are saving money. The adoption fee for a dog from a shelter is typically much lower than the price of a dog from a breeder.

  • You are doing something good for your community. Shelters rely on adoptions to stay open and provide care for the animals in their care. When you adopt a dog, you are helping to support your local shelter.
