Welcome to Best DAWG Rescue, Inc. We save shelter animals (primarily dogs) including those who require substantial medical care or who are overlooked because they are shy or older. We restore their health and nurture them until they are ready for adoption. Our purpose is to find them the right homes…this time forever.

When Best Dawg Rescue accepts a dog (or other animal) into its care, the dog remains with us until a permanent home is found. No dog is ever returned to a shelter or to its previous situation.  If an adoption fails, we gladly take our precious animals back. We are committed to them for the rest of their lives.

Best DAWG Rescue invites you to visit our animals on this website and by attending our adoption fairs. You may apply for one of our animals online. You may contact us by e-mail with questions you have about our animals. If you need assistance in selecting an appropriate pet, we will help you since we know our animals and what kind of home would be best for them.

We can't save these deserving animals without YOUR help. Best DAWG Rescue is an all-volunteer organization with 501(c)(3) status. The majority of our donations is spent on the animals in our care; the remainder is spent on necessary administrative expenses (telephone, photocopying, etc.).

In addition, DAWG seeks volunteers to help at weekly adoption shows, and is grateful for supporters' talents to help us grow and thrive.

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 jurisdiction. Doing so is not a death sentence; in fact, it's a life saver.  Thank you!
