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.
