Puppy Railroad Rescue

We are a small family run rescue that is working hard with a network of other rescues in New England, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, with the intent of saving southern dogs from rural county high kill shelters with only a 10% chance of being adopted or rescued. These shelters use barbaric and inhumane means for euthanizing, such as the gas chambers and heart stick; it is a painful and cruel way to die. The animals that are transported up here live with us in our home as part of our family. Our young children work with them daily to help socialize them and prepare them for family life with younger children. We have our own pack that we socialize them when they get here. We work a great deal on trust with them. In no time with food & water in their tummies and a warm and comfortable place to sleep with a bit of kindness and a gently hand these special babies come around into the most wonderful companions. These animals are so grateful for your kindness they give it back ten full and more. THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING TO ADOPT, AND SAVE A LIFE!

Additional adoption info

WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL SHELTER, all of our dogs are cared for by our volunteers in their homes all across New England. Foster homes are critical to our rescue efforts. Our foster families provide food, shelter and most importantly socialization for these special animals. The first step to adopting is to fill out an adoption application. It will be reviewed and your references will be checked. If you are a good match for the dog you are interested in adopting, you will receive a call to set up an appointment to meet your possible new family member at its foster home. Adoption fees are determined on an individual basis. Many dogs have required some more extensive veterinary care, boarding or special transportation arrangements. We determine that fee based upon these circumstances.
