C2R is non-profit 501c3 rescue dedicated to rescuing homeless animals. No paid staff - 100% volunteer Without these people Circle 2 rescue could not operate.
Circle 2 Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is supported entirely from the generous donations of animal lovers. A network of committed volunteers, foster homes, and local veterinarians are the backbone of our organization. We are determined to keep administrative expenses low so every dollar donated goes directly to our programs. We rescue the old, the infirm and the young. The aban
doned, abused and injured. We believe that every life is valuable regardless of age or medical issues. We nurture and heal the physical and emotional wounds of animals, rehabilitate them, and find them loving forever homes. Upon arrival, they receive a “Nose to Toes Health Care Exam”, which includes: a routine checkup, spay or neuter, dentals and vaccinations. We strive to increase public awareness of companion animal overpopulation issues and provide solutions that end the killing of adoptable animals in an effort to advance animal welfare and create a more humane world for animals.

The one thing Nita has requested in her forever home is another dog. Of course we have included this is her profile yet all the applications we have received are homes where she would be an only dog. Two of the apps became a little perturbed insisting that they had shy dogs before and could certainly handle Nita.
Im not saying Nita couldn't be an only dog. However she has had enough hardship in her short 9 months life and we want it to be easier for her. Nita was one of the 12 Dogs rescued from the deceased owner on the reservation. She has only known living with other dogs. Her life experiences have been limited so everything is a little scarey. She clearly draws comfort and confidence from canine companionship.
A wise friend once said to me never be afraid to do what's right for an animal (even if it means incurring the wrath of a human).

!!! 🌸Get a load of this scruffy lady! Tamarisk is roughly 2-3 years old and ready to wiggle her way into your heart Not much is known about Tam's past, but what we do know is her gentle demeanor and playful side are enough to make her a perfect 10. Tam has been learning so much in her foster home, and she has mastered house and crate training and is still working on leash training. Being a shy girl, she will thrive in a patient home with an established, confident dog to show her the ropes. Before coming to the rescue her life on the reservation was a hard one where she didn't have much interactions with humans. She is reticent with new people and new situations but thrives on the companionship of other canines and looks to them for signals on how to respond. Tamarisk weighs around 50 pounds.
True to her rez-dog roots, Tamarisk is resilient, clever, and full of heart. She’s spayed, vaccinated, and ready to meet her forever family. 💕🐶

This good-looking youngster is Wally! He is around 7.5 to 8 months old and weighs around 45 pounds. He has a short, sleek coat with gorgeous black and tan markings. He’s a handsome example of the incredible mix of breeds often found on the Navajo reservation — unique, friendly, and full of heart. 🤎🖤He has the most gentle, easy going nature and is very attentive to his people without being overhearing.
Wally has a gentle, respectful way of introducing himself to new dogs — calm, polite, never overwhelming. 🐾 Currently in a foster home with adult dogs and puppies alike, he navigates the dynamics beautifully. Wally enjoys playtime, but he is not a high-energy pup; his energy is best described as medium with a leaning toward chill. He’s the kind of companion who would love a walk and then curl up at your feet afterward. 🛋️💗
✅ Doing wonderfully with house training and gets regular outdoor 🚪🌿 breaks ✅Sleeps 😴 through the night content and quiet in his cozy wire crate ✅ Learning the leash and making his foster mom proud on walks! 🐕🦺
Wally will be someone’s heart-dog — the kind who looks at you like he understands every word, every mood, every moment. ✨💞 🐶

Update! Happy update on the 12 dogs whose owner passed away. Here are a couple of them with their fosters. Amazing what a little love can do, huh? One of the other 4 puppies we rescued was adopted yesterday and we will have an update on her. The other 3 are doing so great!! They have gained weight and their confidence has soared. So proud of these brave souls.
We sent all the donations down to the person organizing the rescue along with food, supplies and a dog trap that they can use not only to save these dogs but also others who are needing help. SO THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED!! LOOK AT THE OUTCOME OF YOUR GENEROUSITY!
Yesterday a group went back out to trap the remaining 6 dogs. They were able to get 4 of them and will go back this weekend for the other 2. They have plenty of food and Tina has set up a nice bed and shelter for them. Please send some good vibes that the other 2 will be rescued. And of course there are already 2 more mama and puppies elsewhere who are waiting for help as soon as they 2 are safe.
Enjoy the happy pics of the 6 pups we were able to rescue.
We got 3 more last night and will most more about them soon!

Circle 2 Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is supported entirely from the generous donations of animal lovers and through our adoption fees. We have a network of committed volunteers, foster homes, and local veterinarians who are the backbone of our organization. Without these people Circle 2 rescue could not operate. 100% of our funds go toward the animals - we do not have any paid positions. We are determined to keep administrative expenses low so every dollar donated goes directly to our animals. We operate on a shoestring budget and rely on our incredible volunteers to provide loving foster homes, shuttle dogs to vet appointments and work applications so we can find quality homes that are a great match for our pups!
We rescue the old, the infirm and the young. The abandoned, abused and injured. We believe that every life is valuable regardless of age or medical issues. Our job is to nurture, heal, and love the animals and then place them with carefully screened adopters.
Circle 2 Rescue saves 400 - 450 animals a year. We take special needs dogs and those needing medical attention, not just the cute, cuddly puppies that everyone loves to love. Some of our companions stay with us for several months while they receive the care they need. The $250 adoption fee for adults barely covers the cost of rescuing a healthy dog. If they need extra veterinary care the adoption fee is not enough to cover the costs.
Your donations are critical . Every dollar makes a difference. Here is what your donations can do:
$15 pays for a microchip
$25 pays for a rabies, distemper, or bordetella vaccination
$30 feeds an animal for a month
$50 pays for a veterinary exam
$75 pays for one neuter surgery
$100 pays for one spay surgery
$150 refuels our van to transport the dogs from small, rural communities in Montana and high kill shelters in Texas.
$250 covers the cost of getting a dog ready for adoption. ie. spay or neuter, vaccinations, deworming, microchip and food
$500 will spay 5 female dogs
$1,000 sponsors 4 dog adoptions (covers all spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, food, etc.)
$5,000 covers veterinary expenses for all animals in foster care for one month
