Miniature Schnauzer

Dog Rescue Around Washington was formed in 2004 by four women deeply involved in rescue who have likeminded values and passion for the dogs in crisis in the world. We have several foster homes throughout the NW. Almost all of our dogs are hand picked from surrounding shelters, dogs at risk of euthinazia. Our goal is to put as many temperamentally sound dogs into responsible homes as possible. To achieve that goal, we take our time getting to know each adoptable dog, socializing and training them as needed. We see to any medical need from the basics to the extreme. Together, and networking with other rescues, many many lives have been saved since our conception. We consider those who have adopted from us, family. We are here to help for life. Adopting from us gives you someone to call in crisis, someone to offer advice and assistance. Even though your new dog now belongs to you, we feel it is our responsibility to stand by you to make your dogs life with you a success

We are a no kill rescue group in southern california. Our primary focus is rescuing animals off of death row and local high kill shelters before they are to be euthanized. We then either board them or place them in foster homes so we can better access their personalities before placing them in loving homes. All our animals are seen by our vets, spayed/neutered, given approriate vaccines, some are microchipped, FELV/FIV tested if they are cats, heartworm tested for dogs and given flea treatment prior to adoption.

We are Arizona's largest shelter taking in over 150 homeless animals each day. We protect pets and people in Maricopa County.
