City Dogs Rescue was formed to rescue adoptable dogs in high-kill shelters where resources are severely limited. We want to offer a lifeline to as many of these wonderful pups as possible. Sadly, nearly all of the dogs that City Dogs Rescue takes in are just days and sometimes hours away from being euthanized, for no reason other than lack of space. By finding these dogs permanent and loving homes in the DC metropolitan area, we can enrich lives - both human and canine.

Application, interview, vet checks (for current or prior pets) and reference checks, home visit, adoption contract and adoption fee.
