About Day Before the Rainbow Rescue and Adoption - VA transport

Day Before The Rainbow Rescue and Adoption is a group of dedicated animal lovers who volunteer their time to help the otherwise helpless animals in our area. We rescue animals which are about to be killed in high-kill shelters. DBTR also takes in strays and some owner surrenders. We aid people in spaying/neutering their pets and we will do anything we can to keep a pet in its original home. We are a strictly foster based rescue and all animals are kept in private foster homes until adopted. Please visit daybeforetherainbow.com to learn more about us and our mission!

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.
