About Shelter2Rescue

Rescue is a relay.
Everyone has a part.

We connect rural shelters, foster homes, veterinary teams, transport volunteers, rescue partners, and adoptive families to move dogs and cats from danger to safety.

Build an informed community that values spay and neuter programs, vaccinations, and an end to the euthanasia of homeless pets.
