Rescue 101
Rescuing dogs is incredibly rewarding – and it can also be exhausting for us and the dogs! Here are some of the steps the 6Dogrees rescue dogs go through.
Scared and alone, our dogs are generally in a shelter in WA or CA.
We work with some great people who are the first step in rescue – they go to the shelter and pick the dog up.
Our transporters see that the dogs are safely brought to Seattle.
Foster parents often meet the dogs as they come off of transport.
Next they go to the vet to make sure everything is ok.
At their foster homes, it’s time for a well-deserved nap…
…or some lounging-around
The dogs will attend adoption events
We have a wonderful volunteer team that helps each dog find a great home.
The biggest reward in dog rescue is seeing an awesome dog wind up with their forever family. Happy dogs and happy families!
Life in a forever home is good!
