From ANXO:
“We are having a Dog Adoption Event with Rural Dog Rescue this Sunday from 1-3PM at Brightwood Pizza (711 Kennedy St. NW).
Founded in 2011, Rural Dog Rescue is based in Washington, D.C., serving adopters in D.C., Maryland, and northern Virginia. Our dogs come from high-kill shelters in economically challenged areas of rural North Carolina.
A dedicated network of volunteers
Rural Dog Rescue relies on a dedicated network of volunteers in the D.C. region and our shelter partners in North Carolina. Our rescue is 100% volunteer-based with individuals assisting in the transport, adoption, and constant care of dogs without any compensation.
Rooting for the underdogs
We focus our efforts on shelters that euthanize over 70% of dogs or euthanize in 72 hours, and we rescue a range of breeds and sizes. Our commitment is to rescue the “underdogs” – dogs often overlooked in shelters because they are dark-colored, hounds, sick, injured, or senior.
To date, RDR has placed more than 2,000 dogs in forever homes.”
