Down South Dog Rescue

Down South Dog Rescue was founded by a team Southern Ladies, who want to save all dogs and bring awareness about the High Kill Shelters of Tennessee and surrounding Southern States. We believe all breeds of dogs deserve a second chance at finding the perfect loving and safe home.

Our Mission is to rescue all breeds of dogs from high kill animal shelters and to find all of our dogs loving forever homes and to make sure they never end up in shelters again.
