Breed Rescue Clubs

Breed rescue clubs can be a great way for someone to rescue a pet, but also get the characteristics in a dog that they desire. Many purebreds find their way to shelters because they are not compatible with their owner’s lifestyle. Breed rescue clubs will send members to find and retrieve specific breeds from these shelters. After that, they work hard to adopt these purebreds to the right owner. The application process is extensive and lengthy. Often a team member is sent to the home of the applicant to ensure that the home will be fit for the dog, and the personality of the prospective owner will match.

Breed rescue club adoption rates are more successful than traditional shelters because of their extensive application and interview process. These clubs are devoted to finding a permanent home for the breeds. Rescue clubs are non-profit and rely on donations and adoption fees to keep their efforts going. Many rescue clubs focus on more than just dogs as well. There are clubs for cats, birds, horses and other exotic pets.
