The Best Dog Rescues in Multnomah County

According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, approximately 3.1 million dogs enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year.

Even though 2 million dogs are adopted every year, approximately 390,000 shelter dogs are still euthanized every year. Sad.

You can help dogs that end up in shelters/rescues by adopting these dogs.

We have researched and compiled a list of the best dog rescues in your area.

We should mention that our list is not exhaustive because any non-profit organization that takes dogs off the streets and offers dogs second chances deserves to be on our list. However, we do not have the space to include everyone.

If you know of any reputable dog rescue that we have not included on our list, please drop the name of the rescue in our comment section below.

Note that the animal rescues listed in this article did not pay us to include them in the list. We did our research without bias.

As a disclaimer, we will like to advise you to do your due diligence before working with any of the listed dog rescue organizations.

Also, always conduct your research and consult with specialists in your region before making any pet-related decisions.

If you think that rescuing a dog is not for you, and you want to buy a puppy instead, see our article on how much dogs of different breeds cost. Also, see our list of reputable dog breeders in different US states here.

    9. The Mission Statement of Underdogs Rock! Rescue: “On a mission to pair up the right dogs with the right families.

    URR is an all volunteer 501c3 organization that works directly with rescue groups in Southern California and Alabama to give dogs in need of rescue a new chance. Underdog works directly with fosters as we are not a shelter based Rescue. Because our dogs are in foster homes we get to know the dog’s personalities and needs. As we know the dogs well and how they do in a home environment, we do a great job in matching families with the right dog, and the right family for the dog!
