5 Reputable Dog Rescues in New Castle County, Delaware (Their Adoption Fees)

The Best Dog Rescues in New Castle 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.

    Our mission is to help dogs, especially senior dogs, who have been displaced either by an owner`s sudden deployment, untimely death, illness, or other unfortunate situations. All of the dogs are fostered in private homes where they are nurtured, loved and cared for until adoptive families are found for them. If a new family cannot be found, they will live out their lives with All Mutts Matter. Our mission also includes educating the public regarding the importance of spaying/neutering their pets and responsible dog ownership. We are also dedicated to helping sick and elderly dogs know they are safe and loved.

    URGENT: Foster Homes Desperately Needed!!

    Fostering a dog can ABSOLUTELY save two lives! AMMF has no shelter and is reliant upon a fostering network to provide temporary homes for our dogs. Fostering means welcoming either a senior, adult, or a puppy, into your home and providing them with love, care and learning to be a well-rounded family member. Our dogs are kept in foster care until a permanent perfect forever home is found. All Mutts Matter will provide you with supplies needed for the dog while in your care (ie. crate, medicine, vetting). A foster home is invaluable, because the foster family gains insight to the dog`s personality to help better match them with the perfect home.
