Journey Home Dog Rescue
is a volunteer-based IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that began in the summer of 2005 with a rescue mission to Louisiana following
Hurricane Katrina. Our immediate goals at that time were to:
-
Transfer as many dogs as possible out of "high-kill" dog pounds in the region into a temporary "no-kill" shelter
-
Transport as many dogs as possible back to Maine for re-homing
During that first road trip, we rescued 70 dogs from imminent euthanasia. We also relocated and helped re-home 14 of them to the greater
Portland area. In the months following the storm, we traveled back to the Gulf Coast region to work with other animal welfare groups as they
continued to rescue, reunite, and re-home animals left homeless by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Today, our organization continues to be committed to arranging a "journey home" for local surrenders as well as for dogs in shelters that we
have partnered with. We work to find permanent homes or foster care, transport as needed, and provide veterinary care. Journey Home Dog Rescue
often supports southern shelters because of the pet overpopulation crisis and extremely high euthanization rate in that region. We believe that
compassion has no borders and we are committed to creating a more humane world for all.
** Every donation and adoption fee collected by us goes directly toward meeting the needs of the dogs that we rescue **
** Please note that all of our dogs are in foster homes and may be seen by appointment only. **

Our mission of finding forever homes for homeless dogs is not possible without great foster homes. If you would like to open your heart and home as a
temporary doggie haven, we would love to hear from you! Fostering is wonderfully rewarding and earns you two paws up for great canine guardianship.
