dog rescue
Stray adoption organization
A dog rescue is an organization that takes in abandoned, abused, or surrendered dogs and places them in adoptive homes.
Unlike shelters, rescues often use foster networks rather than kennels.
The term also describes the act of adopting from such an organization: We got her from a dog rescue in Texas.
Someone who rescues dogs may describe their pet as a rescue or a rescue dog.
