What are Canine Rescues? 
Canine Rescue Organizations specialize in saving dogs which have been placed in kill shelters, rescued from abusive homes, abandoned or otherwise stray. 

These dogs are usually placed in foster homes on a temporary basis to be evaluated and resocialized into a loving environment.  Rescue organizations are dedicated to saving a pet's life and are usually non-profit.  With training, patience, and lots of love, most dogs adapt well to their new permanent and loving homes.
