Adopt a loving pet from Rescue For Life Dog Rescue and change a life forever.
At Rescue For Life Dog Rescue, we are a 501c3 non-profit foster based rescue committed to finding loving, forever homes for pets in need. We welcome all kinds of dogs, from local breeder releases to owner surrenders and strays, and work tirelessly to match them with the perfect adoptive families. Our responsible and safe rescue means we provide the best possible care and placement for these deserving animals.

We are always in need of foster homes for animals who are not yet ready for adoption. Our ONLY "requirement" is that all animals in your home are spayed/neutered. If you are interested in fostering an animal, please fill out our application in it's entirety by clicking the link below. Our rescue covers all expenses.

Your donation will make a difference in the lives of our furry friends. Being a 501c3 non-profit, we run on donations from our supporters only. Support our rescue today!

We believe that education is key to controlling the animal population. That's why we work with the local community to provide educational programs that teach people about the importance of spay and neuter programs, low cost vaccination clinics, microchip clinics and how they can utilize them.

We rely on the support of dedicated volunteers to help us care for the animals in our rescue. If you're passionate about rescuing animals but cannot foster and still want to make a difference in the lives of animals in need, consider volunteering with Rescue For Life Dog Rescue.

We host a variety of events throughout the year to raise funds to support our mission. From small private events, to community events, there's something for everyone at Rescue For Life Dog Rescue. We are always in need of volunteers to help us get these types of events setup, run them and plan for the next! Please consider volunteering today!

There are many ways to donate to our rescue! You can donate online through our website, click the donate button on our FB page, Venmo, PayPal, or, mail a check to our address, or drop off supplies in person. We are always in need of food, toys, blankets, and other supplies.
We recommend that you spend time with an animal before adopting to make sure they are a good fit for your family. After your adoption application is reviewed and approved, we require meet and greets with other family pets to make sure everyone gets along. Our adoption coordinators will work with you to find the best match for your family.
We are a foster-based rescue. Our available dogs are not kept in a primary location, but in foster homes so they know and understand one on one love and care before going to their adoptive homes. Therefore, they are not all kept in one location. We have fosters located in North Central, Central and Southern Wisconsin.
