VT Dog Rescue We rescue mixed breed dogs of all ages from high kill shelters in the South, rehabilitate and place them in loving homes.

VT Dog Rescue is a non-profit dog rescue. While there are many canine rescue organizations, our focus is on saving the underdog. The dogs who are passed over simply because they are not perfect. These dogs may have lost a leg or are shy. An underdog may be an older dog who is not as active as he used to be or one with a heart murmur. Dogs who have had a rough start in life but against all odds, ha

ve retained their ability to be loyal and trusting companions who love unconditionally. We believe the underdogs deserve to be rescued and placed in loving, responsible homes where they can shine.

Greta is a sweet soul who’s been patiently waiting since September for her perfect match. 💖

Greta is 2 yrs old and a compact 40 lbs. She is the perfect size for car rides and has the softest fur for cuddling. Greta will need an active home - she is best suited for one where she can accompany her owner on fun adventures. The wonderful thing about Greta is that she loves being with people but can also easily entertain herself as long as she has a ball or stuffed toy. 🧸 Greta is ready to fill your life with love, joy, and endless tail wags! Let’s not make this girl wait any longer! 🙏🏻

LOCAL REHOME: Foster or adopter needed!

This is Joy! Her name says it all. This sweet 2 yo, spayed, hound mix is full of enthusiasm and happiness… and she is also very loving, incredibly loyal, and a quick learner.

Joy was brought to VT from a volunteer whose sister runs a rescue in Alabama. Unfortunately, Joy’s VT family didn’t work out as she wasn’t a good match for the young children in the home. She’s not aggressive - she just has a lot of energy in her adolescent body and wants to share that love with anyone and everyone! 🙃 We don’t want Joy to have to return to Alabama where the environment for strays is not the best. 😢

Please reach out for more info or if interested in providing Joy a safe place to
land. Email [email protected] or apply on our website

Please help Joy find her way home by sharing. 🙏🏻

Meet Lolli! 🐾

This sweet girl has so much potential and just needs the right person to help her shine. Lolli is trusting, affectionate, and incredibly sociable. She is a year old, about 60 lbs, housebroken, crate trained, good with other dogs, and loves to show her love to everyone she meets. 🐶💕

But like many dogs, she’s still learning basic manners and needs a dedicated person to help guide her through it. Lolli hasn’t had the easiest time finding a home, and she desperately needs stability and consistency in her life. She is ready to soak up training and be the amazing companion we know she can be!

Lolli would thrive with an experienced dog owner who is patient and willing to invest time into her physical and mental requirements. Whether you foster her or decide to make her a forever member of your family, we are committed to providing training for Lolli, so all she needs is you! 🏡✨

If you’re ready to help Lolli become the well-mannered, loving dog she’s meant to be, please consider fostering or adopting her. She has so much love to give, and with the right guidance, she’ll be the best companion you’ve ever had. 🐾❤️

A wonderful Forever Friday update to share...

"It is with such joy & gratitude that I send you this update on sweet Topher. Topher has quickly become my shadow. We trust each other implicitly. Topher loves to carry his bones or "speshies" around the apartment to each room or wherever I am at any given moment & deposit them at my feet. It reminds me of stepping on Legos when you have small kiddos. 😊 He was neutral with my old kitty boss Cayenne from the start. They often will snuggle up, one on either side of me to share my snuggles & attention. Topher has also made friends with all the dogs he's met so far including my landlords two small dogs (not as small as him!) He has his own steps to get on & off my bed & still won't jump up on the couch but does one or two polite whimpers until I scoop him up! He will sometimes go into his crate to tell me it's time for bed. He loves to sleep in his cozy bolstered bed on top of my bed & sometimes curls up under the warm covers with me depending on his mood. He hates to wear clothes but has been outfitted with quite the little dog wardrobe! 😆 He did excellent at his first veterinary exam this past Wednesday. My Vet thought his teeth looked amazing & questioned his age which is awesome. He had his first bath today & was very brave. He seemed to love being dried off & the light hairdryer. He's slowly allowing me to leave the room for a few minutes but he doesn't trust me to shower completely alone unsupervised quite yet.🥰 He has been playing with toys, rarely barks & is looking forward to warmer weather for longer outdoor adventures together.

I can't thank VT Dog Rescue enough for allowing me the opportunity to adopt my forever best friend & loving companion. It brings me so much joy to wake up to his wagging tail & face kisses ready to welcome each new day. 🐾 He is certainly my funny little Valentine.😍"

A match made in heaven. We are so thankful for our amazing adopters. Happy tails sweet Topher!

We have an update on the super lovable Clyde! He recently celebrated his fourth birthday and is living his best life 🥳 His dad shared "Clyde is such a sweet pup, and loves everybody, is very gentle with other dogs and loves guarding his back yard. He’s a big hit in the neighborhood! Farmer’s Dog portioned his food, and Clyde is now at 130lb and still acting like a puppy!" Thank you for sharing this update, and happy tails Clyde!

ZERO! That's how many inquiries we have received on our sweet boy, Rex. We can't understand it. Sure, Rex is 6, but that means he is mature and wise unlike some of those crazy puppies! 😜 Rex is such a good boy and he is very sad to be losing his home. His current owners are not in good health and will be moving soon to assisted living. Where is Rex to go? Rex is a beautiful shepard/husky mix who lives with other dogs and cats. Could you be Rex’s hero? In urgent need of a foster or adopter‼️

Introducing Rex! 💙 Rex is an owner surrender looking for a new home (no fault of his own). This handsome boy is 6 years old and currently living with two dogs and a cat. Rex has lived a bit of a sheltered life, but has done well with his recent adventures - - going to the vets and being introduced to new dogs and people. Rex will need slow intros to the world around him as he tends to get a little nervous. Friendly (especially comfortable around men) and gentle, Rex is urgently seeking a foster or adoptive home❗️Time is of the essence since his current owners will be moving into assisted living.

Rex is a sweetheart. With some TLC, time to adjust to new things, and confidence building, Rex will flourish into a wonderful, loyal companion.

Lolli is ready to find her forever home! If you’re an active family, looking for an adorable and energetic companion, Lolli might be the perfect fit for you! 🥰

This pup is almost a year old, currently weighs about 60 lbs, is spayed, house trained and LOVES her crate. Lolli is a real sweetheart and has been waiting patiently for her perfect match. Lolli would do best in a home with other dogs, no cats or small animals, a fenced yard, and with a family that has the time and patience she deserves. ❤️

DNA testing and a training assessment have been done, and the results are in! Here are some photos of Lolli working with the trainer from Coast Peak K9. **Video in comments. To learn more, please reach out to us at [email protected] or apply at www.vtdogrescue.com.

VT Dog Rescue

VT Dog Rescue is not like other rescues. We strive to be the breath of fresh air, the rebels who rock the boat. A rescue with a heart and soul dedicated to placing homeless dogs in loving homes. Our approach to the adoption process is friendly, warm, compassionate & understanding. We care about our dogs and we are thankful for our applicants. We work with local businesses to secure discounted prices for our adopters on dog related services such as grooming, training, boarding & daycare. Our volunteers create the handmade beds we send home with each dog and we provide useful resources in our Adoption Kit.

VT Dog Rescue saves dogs of all breeds at all ages from puppies to seniors. We can help you find the perfect dog for your family and we provide lifetime support for that pup.
