Rural Dog Rescue

Forever true to "The Underdog", Rural Dog Rescue is dedicated to saving the lives of dogs in shelters who are often overlooked for adoption or rescue.

We save the dogs who are at most risk of being euthanized: the hounds, the black dogs, the seniors, the sick and the broken. WE MAKE A COMMITMENT TO RESERVE A MINIMUM OF 50% OF THE DOGS WE SAVE TO THE UNDERDOG. Please visit our available pets on RuralDogRescue.com

Luna is our beautiful 9 year old Lab-Mix with an amazing soul. Luna is playful, gentle, and loves to follow her foster mom around the house while she works from home and does chores.

Luna was left behind by her previous family on their property when they moved, but she doesn’t let that get her down! She’s a happy and easy-going pup, who is completely potty trained, doesn’t chew on anything she shouldn’t, and knows a few tricks!

Luna is looking for a forever family to give her all the love she deserves so apply to adopt her today!

Would you consider volunteering?

We’re currently looking for fosters, local transport, intake, and adoption event volunteers that can help give a rescue dog a second chance at life!

Each of these roles allows for a flexible schedule and cadence that works for you! Even a few hours of your time can make the world of difference to a dog waiting for their forever home.

If you’re interested, please complete the volunteer application at ruraldogrescue.com or click the link in our bio! We look forward to hearing from you!
