Mission: Rural dog rescue is a non-profit organization whose mission is to save the lives of cats and dogs in high-kill shelters in rural areas with euthanasia rates of 80% or higher. We save stray animals, who can be euthanized 72 hours after they are found, and owner surrenders, who can be euthanized immediately if the shelter is full.
Programs: During 2014, rural dog rescue saved more than 200 cats and dogs from high-kill shelters from rural areas, as well as from urban shelters near d. C. Once rescued, rural dog rescue finds safe forever homes for the animals in the d. C. , maryland, delaware, and northern virginia areas via weekly adoption events and adoptapet. Com.
