Dog Rescues (All Breeds)

Black Dogs and Company is a 501c3 organization! We saved over 71 dogs in 2014 alone. Our program relies on foster families, rather than one large facility like larger scale rescues. Our mission at Black Dogs & Company Rescue is to raise awareness of the Black Dog Syndrome, to provide a safe haven for dogs of every color, and to work with area shelters to promote the spay and neutering of our faithful, loving companions.We also rescue the Old English Sheepdog breed because they are high maintenance and sometimes hard to train.We also help families keep their beloved pets. We would rather a dog stay in its much loved home than have to rehome through rescue. No one will love you like a dog who was once abandoned. Please open your minds and explore our site to educate yourself and your family on the plight of the shelter dog and open your hearts to the love that could be waiting for you. We are in need of Foster Homes!! As a foster you welcome needy dogs into your home and heart, showering your foster dog with love, care, and basic training while they wait for their forever home.
