ALL BREED RESCUE INC

As we aim for the future, we look to our community to aid us in saving homeless dogs of any breed, size, and age through basic training, socializing, networking, fostering, adopting, and sponsoring. It's with these actions we are able to place these abandoned dogs in caring fosters and loving homes here in the generous Northeast. A large part of our work not only saves dogs and finds them homes, but aids in helping our shelter partners in the south to become no-kill. We hope to continue our work in order to fight canine overpopulation and advocate for adoption.

All Breed relies on communication and strategic teamwork to rescue, vet, and re-home highly adoptable dogs. Each rescue begins with transparent conversations with our rescue partners to pull a dog in need and plan their arrival to Vermont. Dogs are placed into fosters who are given constant access to our team in Vermont for support in planing. Dogs undergo basic and specific vetting dependent on their needs.

Communication through highly in-depth adoption counseling also ensures our dogs are successfully adopted and our return rate remains low. Adopters work with our counselors to find their best match and are enabled through adoption materials and meetings with our team to properly care for their new dog throughout its life.

Communication in the form of advocacy and outreach is another strategy we rely on to promote adoption and see a no-kill country. Our strong volunteer program works to promote All Breed's mission with events and fundraisers. Our team also visits school groups and other community organizations to speak about adoption and our dogs' stories.

All Breed has a strong, dedicated team of staff, volunteers, adopters, and donors that want to see a better world for animals. Our staff are highly trained on dog behavior and health in order to translate this into adoptive homes and the community.
