Rescues 2the Rescue aims to create a vibrant network of shelters and trainers to maximize adoption rates for high energy, intense, obsessive, and driven dogs. These dogs can be very hard to place into traditional pet homes but are likely to thrive when they have a detection career to channel their abundant energy. Using the wildlife and domestic dog advocacy expertise of IFAW and W4DC, R2R was started with an eye toward selecting conservation detection dog candidates but our goal is to expand into other detection disciplines in order to help the most dogs possible.
