We are the Doghouse Rescue Academy and Education Network, a 501(c)3 Non-Profit - we are more than just your typical Rescue. We are animal advocates and rescuers, we rehabilitate and we re-home. We educate the public on resources that are available to them, spay & neuter, and offer training. We are working very closely with rural high kill shelters and pull dogs to completely get them to see a vet, evaluate, rehabilitate and re-home.
We will be offering/sponsoring free spay & neuter clinics as well as working on grants to assist our shelter partners.
We believe that partnering up with the other rescues for the greater good of the animals is the best way to operate. We donate when we can, cross post potential rescues, sponsor, and offer training to all of our rescue partners.
The Doghouse Rescue Academy is 100% volunteer run. We are a foster based rescue that relies on donations from the public.
Check back often for updates, available dogs, news, and more!

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
