Rescue FAQs

Renee's Rescues is an all-volunteer rescue organization based in Delaware. Our focus is to rescue misplaced, abandoned, mistreated, abused and/or ill canines and place them into loving homes. We do a significant amount of rescue work with dogs acquired from large-scale breeding operations. Most, if not all, spent life in cages or outdoor hutches prior to rescue. Our dedicated foster families assist with house-training and crate-training before they are adopted. Additionally, our fosters provide extra TLC and socialization. This enables them to flourish as they start their new chapter of life. On the fence about adopting? That's okay! We are always looking for new foster families. We provide all veterinary care and supplies. You provide the love. To learn more, please visit www.reneesrescues.org, and fill out a foster application under the Forms tab. You can email your application to applications@reneesrescues.org.
Thank you for considering adoption! Renee's Rescues serves the entire State of Delaware, Eastern Maryland, Eastern Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey.

Additional adoption info

If you are interested adopting any of our available dogs, please visit our website at www.reneesrescues.org. Click on "Pre-Adoption Application" at the top and fill out our Pre-Adoption Application. Once we receive your application, we will be happy to answer any questions you might have about our dogs. We will also complete a reference check, and set up a home visit in your home to meet the dog of your choice.

Our adoption fees range between $125-$400. Contributing factors include age and medical costs incurred prior to placement.

Prior to availability for official adoption, all of our dogs are:

- up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations

- tested for heartworms (if age appropriate)

- Spayed/Neutered
