Working Dogs Rescue

We are a 501c3 Non Profit rescuing dogs from shelters and adopt in Ohio and Arizona Please contact us. Food, vetting, toys beds, whatever is needed.

Our Rescue began in 2014 and we became a federally licensed 501c3 non-profit charitable organization in 2015 so we can expand our mission! We rescue German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois dogs and assist with referrals for other breeds that need rescued. We pull the dogs from High Kill Shelters and work with Owner Surrenders in all states, however our main focus is Ohio, , Arizona, Texas, New Mexico

and Pennsylvania. We assess our incoming dogs for Working jobs including but not limited to, Service, Assistance, Therapy and K9 duties. We have dogs in working K9 Units, several being trained for more departments, as well as dogs trained and living with Veterans with PTSD.. We are always open to working with trainers in these fields around the country. If you would like to partner with us in our Mission to help shelter dogs out into the world again fulfilling their highest potential. For the dogs that do not have the drive or work ethic for these jobs we love them just as well. They are put through a course of basic obedience training so that when adopted they have a much higher chance of a successful adoption never to be returned to the shelter atmosphere again. We are also always in the need for fosters to help with our missionl The more fosters we have the more lives we can save. We only place dogs in homes with good temperment that do well with people, other dogs , kids etc. (if foster has other dogs chilren etc and needs this) we provide all needs for the dogs. They are usually adopted into homes in 30 days or less.

Please say a prayer for our dear friend Louis Kyler and his family as they had to let their boy Sidney free today. He was one of our first and always a favorite rescue of ours in 2015. Our rescue is proud to have saved and rehomed over 1000 dogs since then. It was also 3 years ago this day I had to let my boy Maximus free. Very emotional day 😢 Run free together boys. It's never goodbye. It's only until I see you again.

Thank you to our Veterans. We have our freedoms thanks to them.

As we honor them today let's not forget how many have died for us, how many Veterans are homeless that can use our help, how many suffer from PTSD and how many unfortunately die from Su***de.

Today please read the story of one of those many heroes, Mike Day, an amazing Veteran hero who did so much, who formed a non profit to help others, who gave it all and unfortunately was one of our Veterans lost to su***de this year.

During this holiday season when you see chances to help our Veterans. Please do so! 🙏🇺🇲

Mike Day:

Mike Day had been shot plenty of times during his two decades as a Navy SEAL, but he had never been hit. That changed dramatically on the night of April 6, 2007.

Mike was part of a 22-member assault team tasked with striking an al-Qaeda cell responsible for shooting down several Marine helicopters.

Mike was the first through the door and was immediately met with a hail of bullets by terrorists firing AK-47s, an M-4, and pistols. Mike was hit and fell into the 10-square-foot room.

Of the two Iraqi allies behind him, one was severely wounded and the other was killed. Fellow SEAL Clark Schwedler was hit in the back of the neck and died on the scene.

His rifle shot from his grasp, Mike transitioned to his pistol, killed one terrorist, and then engaged a second terrorist who had pulled the pin on a hand gr***de. The explosion knocked Mike unconscious.

Mike Day awoke to find the remaining enemies firing at his regrouping comrades. He engaged and killed the two remaining AK-47-wielding terrorists with his sidearm.

When the smoke cleared, Mike Day had been shot 27 times; 11 rounds hit his body armor and 16 bullets had entered his body. “Anywhere you can put a finger on me, except my head, I was shot.”

Miraculously, Mike completed clearing the house and then WALKED HIMSELF to the evacuation helicopter. The total elapsed time of the shootout was 16 minutes.

Mike credits his training and muscle memory for his actions that night. To this day he believes that a person can train in or out of anything in life.

“Everything you are right now is what you have trained into. You can break the trend of listening to that voice in your head that keeps you from being what you want to be.”

Mike also shares his thoughts on Veterans transitioning out of the military and civilians dealing with trauma in their lives.

TAKEAWAY: “If I don't do the best I can to be the best I can be, I am no good to anyone else. You have to be self-reliant.”

It's been a busy summer! Some of you at the beginning of summer donated funds for a bunch of puppies stranded in the desert that our rescue took in. Thank you! All pups received the care they needed and are now in loving homes! It's hard to keep up in social media sometimes because we are so busy caring for dogs and doing all that pesky administrative work! We appreciate you all!

In honor of K9 Veterans Day. Thank you for your service.

Hello All. We are not the rescue that asks for money a lot unless we REALLY need help! So we have taken in several mama's with their pups as well as a few stray litters. There were FOUR rescues all together who were supposed to show up and help take some of these dogs so that it wouldn't be just one rescue taking on so much. Well not a one showed up other than our rescue. We couldn't say no and have them sent to these awful shelters full of disease so we took them in. We will need to feed them, get their shots, spay and neuter etc. One mama and her sweet pups have ringworm and mange too. They were stray and alone out in the desert. Any little bit helps! If you would like to help please go to our website www.workingdogsrescue.org and click on the orange donate button to donate. We also accept venmo and zelle at [email protected]. If you would like to donate supplies such as potty pads, dog food etc please message our page and we will let you know what supplies we are still in need of at the time and the shipping address. To those of you that have donated already we thank you sssooooo much! We appreciate the support. ❤️🐾

ADOPTION EVENT SATURDAY MAY 21st PHOENIX ARIZONA We have so many beautiful sweet deserving dogs that are in great need of homes! This has been one of the worst years we have seen in rescue. We now are receiving more emails from people giving up on their dogs and wanting us to take them, than we are people wanting to adopt. It is just not fair to these poor souls. Many of these dogs would have been euthanized. This is not cheap or easy but we love these dogs and want to help as many as possible. If you have been considering a new family pup please consider one of our dogs. We are having an adoption event Saturday all adoptions will come with 2 free obedience training sessions! Won't you join us and choose one of the cuties? For more information message us here or please email [email protected] Thank You!
