I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Dog Rescue Around Washington was formed in 2004 by four women deeply involved in rescue who have likeminded values and passion for the dogs in crisis in the world. We have several foster homes throughout the NW. Almost all of our dogs are hand picked from surrounding shelters, dogs at risk of euthinazia. Our goal is to put as many temperamentally sound dogs into responsible homes as possible. To achieve that goal, we take our time getting to know each adoptable dog, socializing and training them as needed. We see to any medical need from the basics to the extreme. Together, and networking with other rescues, many many lives have been saved since our conception.We consider those who have adopted from us, family. We are here to help for life. Adopting from us gives you someone to call in crisis, someone to offer advice and assistance. Even though your new dog now belongs to you, we feel it is our responsibility to stand by you to make your dogs life with you a success.501c3 pending

My Interests

Dog rescue..is there anything else to worry about?

I'd like to meet:

DRAW is always looking for volunteers. We need people to help assess dogs, fundraise, and foster. We are also open to people who might consider occasionally doing a temp foster to give our regular foster homes a break. Even for a day or two! Supplies..that is a biggie and donations are much appreciated. We use everything every other dog owner does only ALOT more of it. Collars, leashes, harnesses, shampoo, flea treatment, food bowls, dog beds and blankets...if you need it, WE need it!If you STILL don't know what you can do? Please, consider adopting a needy shelter dog. Volunteer your time. Have ALL companion animals spayed and neeutered. Do NOT support pet stores that sell puppies or kittens (most of those pets come from puppymills) Find a local rescue and ask them what they could use by way of supplies. Many of the things they need you may have sitting in a good wil bag or in your back yard. Or maybe just send them a gift card to a local pet store.
