Please remember to indicate where the dog is located (town and state).

WARNING: People who steal and abuse dogs, sell animals to laboratories and train fighting dogs often answer "free to good home" ads. For your dogs's safety, research potential adopters carefully before directing them to your home.

Disclaimer: The Dog Rescues Network and its staff cannot be held responsible for any problems arising from the information displayed here.

Dogs go missing everyday - have your dog microchipped. Dogs run away or are stolen everyday and end up in stray dog pounds miles from home. If they are not claimed within 7 days (sometimes less) they can be rehomed or killed. Hundreds of 'stray' dogs are rehomed or killed every week because their owner cannot be identified. You have no right to claim the dog after 7 days. A microchip can also be used to prove that the dog is yours if ownership is disputed. Click here for more information.

Your dog is valuable to you - and to thieves! Do not leave your dog tied up outside a store!

August 26th New Home Needed for Young Dog - Raritan, NJ
Dog Photo Loading I recently "confiscated" a Red Nose Pitbull from someone who was not taking proper care of him. Click here to see a larger photo. He is about 14 months old and is quite thin, though I am working on that. He is great with kids and a good family watch dog. He is good with female dogs and neutered males. Not sure on other non-neutered males. He himself is not neutered. He is a purebred, and VERY affectionate once he "accepts" you. I have had him only 24 hours and he already considers me and my family "his". He follows me everywhere! I am looking to place him somewhere. I cannot keep him more than a few days or a week. I have 2 other large dogs and 3 kids. I just could not leave him where he was, filthy and emaciated. Please help! If you are interested in this dog please email adverte193@dogrescues.info Area: Raritan, New Jersey, 08869. Next to Bridgewater, NJ.

August 10th URGENT: Dogs Needing Rescue - Shelbyville, KY
Dog Photo The Shelby County Animal Shelter is located at 266 Kentucky Street, Shelbyville, KY, 40065. It is not a no-kill shelter and there are many pets in danger of being destroyed if they cannot find a home or a place at a rescue.

Please click here to see the list of dogs needing rescue

Shelby County Animal Shelter are an open admissions animal shelter for Shelby County. We are governed by the Shelby County Fiscal Court and operated by Shelby County tax dollars. We accept all unwanted and stray animals in our county. We also perfom all neglect and abuse investigations for Shelby County. The animals at our shelter are random source. We try hard to ensure the animals adopted from our shelter are healthy and free of undesirable temperaments. We aggressively pursue solid adoptions and work with rescue groups, both purebred groups and generic. We do not charge a pull fee for reputable rescue groups. Receiving rescues are responsible for all vetting and transport of the animal(s) being pulled. We are currently working with several non-profit groups to ensure the animals adopted are spayed/neutered before adoption. If the animals are not altered before adoption, alteration must be performed within 30 days of adoption. We are working towards making Shelby County a no-kill county. In order to achieve this goal, Shelby County Humane Society is working with Shelby County Animal Shelter. The first step to achieving our no-kill goal is to have all animals at Shelby County Animal Shelter vetted and spayed/neutered. By doing this, the chances of adoptions and rescues increase significantly. This also will prevent accidental or unwanted litters of animals in the future. Please help Shelby County become a no-kill county! Please consider donating/sponsoring an animal at Shelby County Animal Shelter. Click here to contribute to this worthy cause!

Anyone interested in adopting or rescuing an animal from our shelter should contact the shelter either by phone at 502-633-0009, e-mail us at animal.adopt@shelbycountykentucky.com or come to the shelter in person. We do have an adoption process including an application. We make every effort ensure a direct adoption is a good placement. We work with the potential adopter to find the right pet for their home. With each paid dog or puppy adoption, a voucher for $10 towards a rabies vaccination is provided. On unaltered dogs, a voucher for $30 towards spay/neuter is provided to help defray the cost to the adopter. The adoption cost for a dog is $65. Kittens and cats are $40 which includes the $30 spay/neuter voucher and $10 for the rabies voucher. The surgeries are not performed here. These vouchers may be used at any vet or low cost clinic. The adopter pays the difference.

Thank you.

April 29th Dogs Out of Time in Lisbon, Ohio
What you are about to view are the dogs available for adoption for a limited time 04/27/2009 - 04/30/2009 at the Columbiana County Dog Pound and Adoption Center 8455 County Home Road Lisbon, OH 44432.

Click here to see the video of the dogs that are out of time in Lisbon, OH

I created this video overnight. I not only want you to cross post far and wide, but please go to many public forums and place the URL there. Because rescues and shelters are so full and broke we need to get the public who is also responsible for this situation to get involved. Many people won't even visit a shelter because of what they might see and so my theory is bring the shelter to them. Here they can see who is available for adoption without going into the kennels. They can also help by sending sponsorship money to the shelter. If this works the way I hope it does I will be producing more videos for dogs in other states as well for the greatest impact of getting animals saved and less of them dying. Tracey Benzel

Puppies Needing a Home/Rescue at St. Martin Parish Animal Control, St. Martinville, LA

Because of limited funding and space, animals can only be kept at the pound for a brief period of time before they are destroyed. If you are interested in this animal please call (337) 394-1220 immediately and leave a message and phone number. It may be difficult to reach someone on the phone because the staff has so much to do, but please keep trying. Another way to help is by fostering this pet until we find a permanent home. Please ask the staff how. NOTE: The St. Martin Animal Control Facility does NOT have e-mail. The Petfinder list is maintained by volunteers who do NOT work at the facility and have NO additional information. If you are interested in this animal, please call the facility at (337) 394-1220 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Louisiana Death Row Pets Require Rescue Now! These pets are at the Lafayette Animal Control Center, 613 Pont Des Mouton Road, Lafayette, LA 70507. They only have a limited time so please visit the center soon if you can adopt one. Click here for map and directions to the Roicy Duhon Animal Shelter. Alternatively adopt a pet from one of the rescues listed below so that they can rescue more pets from the center. I am requesting that individuals not abuse the staff at the center. They get lots of ugly phone calls and if it gets bad enough this could end up with the rescues being shut out and all the animals destroyed. People from all over have an interest in saving these animals and that is wonderful, but please treat the staff with kindness and understanding.

Click here for the Conditions of Adoption.

Rescues: please take a look and see if you can help any of these pets. We don't have lots of time as the deadline for some will be Thursday at 5pm with PTS Friday morning. Unfortunately the animal center is not open over the weekend. If you have contacts who are LEGIT 501(3)(c) groups and they are within driving distance, please contact them. Rescues must be there by 3pm, non-profit letter, spay/neuter policy and adoption policy faxed to Virginia in advance as well as who can pull for you. You must fax to Virginia proof of rabies and alter within 30 days. If you are unable to provide the necessary paperwork in time try contacting one of the local rescues listed below E.g. Animal Rescue Foundation, to see if they are able to pull the pet for you.

IF YOU CAN FOSTER AN ANIMAL FOR A MINIMUM OF 60-90 DAYS FOR A RESCUE GROUP, PLEASE EMAIL ME AT roicyvolunteers@gmail.com You must be local or within short driving distance of Lafayette, Baton Rouge or New Orleans to foster.

There are many more dogs and cats needing homes and their time is running out. Click here to see this weeks dogs and cats at Lafayette Animal Control Do not see a pet you want this week? Ask about pets that will be up for adoption next week.

Please do not complain to us about the pets that are being destroyed! We did not put them in the shelter because we couldn't (or wouldn't) find them a home! The shelter will make every effort to hold a dog longer than it's expiry date, but this is a very small facility with limited dog kennels. The unwanted animals come in every day, and there are many strays awaiting their turn to go to adoption. Do something useful:
  • Find someone or a rescue who will take the pet.
  • Foster a pet while it awaits transport.
  • Help the rescues transport the pets.
  • Collect donations for pull fees and boarding and send the money to the rescues listed below.
  • Advertize the shelter in your local drug store, newspaper, Etc.
  • Donate a dog bed.
Animal Rescue Foundation, Lafayette, LA often save dogs lives by boarding them until they can be moved to other rescues or new homes. You can help them by donating toward the cost of this by clicking on the Paypal button on their website.

Thanks to all who have donated Kuranda beds. A few have come in, and it is so wonderful to see the dogs dry and comfortable. They need many more, though, and all sizes are needed. Not only does it keep the animals off the cement, but it helps them to show up better, especially the black dogs. There were several black pups adopted and I really think it is because they look so cute against the bright blue beds (blue is the preferred color). Roicy is listed under La> Lafayette. Click here to donate a bed to the Lafayette Animal Control Center. If you have a plastic dog bed you are not using why not drop it in to the Centre. We are located off of Interstate 49, Exit 1B - Pont Des Mouton Road (west side of I-49). Map and directions to the Roicy Duhon Animal Shelter.

Cannot rescue a dog? How about donating some money to help rescues with the pull fees? Click on the rescue links below to find out how.

These organisations rescue animals from the Roicy Duhon Animal Control Center. If you adopt a pet from them that will make space for them to rescue more homeless pets.

Scrap (and hundreds like him) left to die at the pound
Scrap, Jacksonville, FL I saw you with Scrap today. You were smiling and for a while Scrap was sitting next to you with his tail wagging. You were standing in front of the intake counter at Jacksonville Animal Control. You were explaining that you couldn't keep him because he chewed through a $5.00 dollar telephone cord. I heard the lady tell you that they take in at least 100 dogs a day and that Scrap would most likely be euthanized, because he is a bigger dog. You were still smiling and Scrap was still looking up at you with his tail wagging wondering if the new adventure with you was going to involve some new dog friends that he could hear frantically barking all over the building. The lady asked if you wanted his collar and his leash and you took them off (presumably for the new dog you will buy after the holiday) as the lady put on his new plastic Animal Control, ID collar and an Animal Control leash. Scrap was still a good boy, still wagging his tail. As you walked out the door you were still smiling. When you walked out the door Scrap stopped smiling. As he was tied up Scrap's tail stopped wagging and went between his legs and he started crying. Scrap kept trying to get to you long after you were gone. The lady at Animal Control felt bad for him and tried to give him a treat but all Scrap wanted was to be with you so he kept crying. The Animal Control Officer came to get him and Scrap left with him his tail between his legs and his head down. Scrap knew then that you were leaving him at that place and you weren't coming back.

Scrap has seven days until he dies, Scrap probably won't live until Christmas. This is a true story, it just happened yesterday. I don't expect that anyone is going to run down to Jacksonville Animal Control and get Scrap but please if you are thinking about taking your pet to Animal Control - don't. If you are looking for a pet then check at Animal Control as there are so many Scrap's there.

Although Scrap is in Jacksonville, FL, this is also happening hundreds and thousands of times in all towns and counties AND countries. PLEASE take pet ownership seriously! These precious, loving, loyal animals do not deserve this. They ARE man's best friend! In good times and bad times, they'll always be there for you and never judge you. You have a duty to care for your dog, not to dump it because you cannot be bothered to train it or because it is inconvenient to keep it.
