Training Rescue Dogs

Training Rescue Dogs Training Rescue Dogs is a 501(c)(3) volunteer organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of otherwise unadoptable German Shepherds.

The mission of Training Rescue Dogs, a 501(c)(3) organization, is to provide training and rehabilitation to rescue dogs. We are committed to working with shelters to identify German Shepherds who need rehabilitation and then provide training. Training Rescue Dogs will locate and hire competent, experienced trainers who will evaluate and rehabilitate these dogs so they will successfully transition

into homes where they can thrive and provide their families with years of companionship and joy. Many wonderful German Shepherds who are searching for their “forever family” never find one because they display undesirable, but easily corrected, behavioral challenges. Some dogs, because of abuse, neglect, inadequate training or no training at all, never learn the social skills they need to be good companion dogs. Through no fault of their own, they might behave aggressively, defensively or fearfully. Tragically, these dogs are then passed over by rescue organizations, not offered for adoption by shelters and then euthanized. This is a terrible loss, both for the dogs and for the many potential families who could have welcomed and loved such an animal. Training and rehabilitation for these dogs is an unmet need among most animal rescues and shelters. We seek to fill this need by raising money for these often invisible and forgotten dogs. At Training Rescue Dogs, we don’t believe in giving up on dogs; we believe in giving them the future.

Recruiting dogs for a study on mammary tumors.

Can you help?

We are recruiting dogs with mammary tumors to investigate a new therapy called INSPIRE, which uses electrical pulses to safely destroy the membranes of cells within a tumor.

Dogs will need to be screened at the NC State Veterinary Hospital before they can be enrolled in the study. The free screening involves a cardiology and oncology consult, thoracic radiographs, abdominal ultrasound, bloodwork and initial CT scan.

Don't have a dog? Please share to help us widen our search. Our research changes lives every day.

We are also hosting a pop up adoption event where you pop a balloon to reveal your reduced adoption fee! 🐾
