Dog Rescue Around Washington was formed in 2004 by four women involved in rescue who have like-minded values and a passion for the dogs in crisis in this world.\xa0We do not have a shelter, and instead rely on a network of volunteer foster homes.\xa0Almost all of our\xa0dogs are hand-picked from surrounding shelters, in Washington and Oregon - dogs at risk of euthanasia. Our goal is to put as many temperamentally sound dogs into responsible homes as possible. To achieve that goal we take our time\xa0 getting to know each adoptable dog, socializing and training them as needed. We see to any medical need that presents itself, from the basics to the extreme. We specialize in dogs that are particularly at risk due to age, breed, or overpopulation. Many of the dogs in our rescue are here simply because they had no other options, and nowhere else to go. We consider those who have adopted from us family. We are here to help for life. Adopting from us gives you someone to call in crisis
