Across the southern United States, overcrowded shelters face heartbreaking decisions every day. With limited space, resources, and adopters, countless dogs and cats are at risk of euthanasia simply because there is nowhere for them to go.
Through our Southern Paws to Midwest Homes program, Rescue Network partners with overcrowded shelters in the South to bring dogs and cats to the Midwest, where they have a greater opportunity to find loving families.
From southern shelters to loving families.
Our Foster-to-Adopt program plays an important role in these lifesaving efforts.
Southern shelter partners
We partner with overcrowded shelters in the South to bring dogs and cats to the Midwest.
Foster to Adopt
Potential adopters can welcome an animal into their home on a trial basis before committing to adoption. How Foster to Adopt works →
Our foster network
Animals who are not placed through Foster-to-Adopt enter our network of dedicated foster homes, where they receive the care, love, and support they need until their forever families are found.
By building strong relationships with southern shelter partners and utilizing our foster network, we are able to relieve pressure on overcrowded shelters while giving more animals the second chance they deserve.
Help bring them home.
Adopt, foster or give. Every one makes room for the next animal.
