rescue dogs
Avalanche search animals
Rescue dogs are dogs adopted from shelters or animal rescue organizations rather than purchased from breeders: We got our rescue dog from the local humane society.
The term emphasizes giving abandoned or surrendered animals a second chance.
Separately, rescue dogs are dogs trained to locate people in emergencies—avalanches, earthquakes, or wilderness searches.
