Area Breed Rescue Groups
Every animal shelter hopes that you will come to them to adopt your new best friend and save a life. If you're looking for a specific breed, you may be surprised to learn that Rock County Humane Society adopts out many wonderful purebred dogs and cats in addition to our great selection of mixed breeds. If you've given us a try and haven't found that perfect match yet, breed rescue organizations are a great alternative!
Breed rescues are independent groups that typically take in animals of one particular species and/or breed. By specializing in only one species or breed, they are often able to provide adopters with medical and behavioral information specific to that type of animal. Additionally, most breed rescues house animals in foster homes until they are adopted. The foster family will be able to provide you with even more information about the individual animal and how it does in a home setting.
When contacting a rescue group, please remember that they are often a small group of individuals that are volunteering their own time to help these animals. Be patient! They will do their best to find the right match for your home but finding that perfect new family member can take time.
This list is offered as a courtesy to our community. Rock County Humane Society does not specifically endorse any of the rescues listed below. We encourage you to ask questions and seek references to ensure you are dealing with a reputable rescue group.
For additional contacts beyond the ones listed below, try the websites www.petango.com or www.petfinder.com. If you are a breed rescue that would like to add or update a listing, please contact our Volunteer, Adoption, and Development Supervisor at volunteers@rockcountyhumanesociety.com.
