The Dog House Rescue

The Dog House Rescue is the pet project of two dog lovers that wandered into a municipal animal shelter to pick up one new family member and left with seven. Like much of the public, we had mistakenly believed that most shelters are able to provide a no-kill haven for homeless animals. Due to overcrowding, the euthanasia rate at one facility alone is 80%. With the average dog having less than one week to find an adopter, it is easy to find great dogs who were simply born in an unfortunate geographic area. We exist to help bridge the gap between loving homes seeking good citizen companions and good natured dogs looking for an opportunity to show their stuff. Those that have found themselves in a shelter through no fault of their own and would otherwise be euthanized for space are given medical treatment, spayed/neutered, and obedience trained so that they may continue to be good citizens in their forever families.Our adoption process begins with an application painting a picture of the adopter’s preferences and capabilities and moves forward with meet and greets. Adopters get to know their future family member and we enjoy learning about each individual’s hopes and dreams for their new friend. With a match made and personal chemistry being mutual, the adoption contract is finalized and hand offs are celebrated with a free training session. This complimentary hour with a professional trainer, already well known to each dog, helps owners to speak their loved one’s language and provides an additional point of contact for any questions that may arise in the future.All residents at The Dog House are considered family for life. We understand that personal tragedies happen. If a Dog House member is ever unable to continue in their adopted home, they are welcomed back with open arms. Having already survived the shelter once, our promise to them is to never be homeless again.

Meet Ash

Affectionate Ash loves playing in leaves, performing his tricks (sit, down, stay, heel, load up, etc), and having another canine companion. He would make a perfect second dog! Ash enjoys taking trips to Home Depot, the vet's office, and boarding facilities to socialize with both people and pups. While he can be shy in large groups, this gregarious boy enjoys taking treats from strangers and has not met a dog he didn't like. Great with kids 6 and up but has not yet had the occasion to meet a child 5 and under. As an adolescent, Ash blossoms with a predictable routine--and toys, lots and lots of toys! He is a very quick learner who, through no fault of his own, is looking for his first and forever home. Would you like to give this boy the same love and affection that he shares with you? Ash is approximately 8 months old, loved completing an obedience course, and is incredibly affectionate. He is now beginning his advanced obedience class. Whether lounging in the living room watching the world go by, or playing with his toys, he fills the space with joy. He has never had an accident in the house, but is not listed as house trained as he does not yet reside in the house full time (due to lack of foster home availability). He has slept in the house overnight next to our bed without accidents and he keeps his 4'x8' kennel immaculate. Ash has begun crate training so that he may take a familiar piece of his life with him to his new home.

Adoption Process
Find an animal that you like? Please don't hesitate to reach out. Our process begins with an adoption application to help us learn your needs and capabilities and moves forward with a meet and greet. Home visits, landlord calls, etc may be performed at our discretion. All dogs are transferred with an adoption contract and a one hour, complimentary session with a professional already familiar with your new friend. Adoption fees are pay what you can donations, tax deductible, and 100% of the proceeds are used for care of Dog House Residents.
