Kansas City Area Animal Rescue Groups

There are many people in our area who are dedicated to helping a particular breed of dog or cat or other types of critters. Our humane society and many
other area shelters network with these groups in order to be able to help more of the animals who come through our doors. Most of these people foster
animals in their homes until they can find them a new home. Contact them to adopt a pet or to learn more about a particular breed or type of pet.

• Dog Breed Rescue Groups (listed by breed)
• Dog Rescue Groups (mixed and purebred)
• Small Dog Rescue

As long as there are  dogs
in the shelters that will DIE


We have a Pomeranian Rescue at our salon.
We keep the dogs here so you can meet several all at once.
So far, we have not had the need to put any into foster homes.
They get to play together, get groomed,
and have fun until the right family comes along.
Check out our rescue web site... Just click on the link below.
