SNAFU Rescue (Short Noses And Friends United Rescue) takes in many dogs from owner surrender situations and any shelters, as needed. SNAFU Rescue is comprised solely of non-paid volunteers who donate their time, and sometimes their homes by fostering, to helping dogs in need. We focus on vetting, rehabilitation and adoptions of the dogs we are able to take into our rescue. If our rescue does not happen to have room for dogs needing rescue, we network with other rescues to place the dogs into foster homes with other rescue groups.

Great Dog Rescue New England (GDRNE) is a 501(C)(3) non-profit, shelter less, all-breed rescue group headquartered in Massachusetts. We rely on our dedicated team of volunteers from all over New England who work tirelessly with our Southern rescue partners to save dogs who are abandoned, found as strays or pulled from high kill shelters. 

Each week dogs are transported to Massachusetts, and upon arrival, are held at the GDRNE isolation center for 48 hours.  Kennel staff and volunteers work to ensure the health and safety of each dog. Each dog is spayed/neutered and has a clean bill of health before going to a forever home or to a loving foster family. Families are chosen based on each dog's specific needs and the adoption process is in place to help screen for best fit and to help make sure each family is set up for success.

Spring Comedy Night and our PRoNE 5K.  Our 2020 events have been cancelled this year due to COVID-19 so we got creative with online fundraisers like FaceBook auctions and T-shirt campaigns and we are so grateful to our followers who continue to support us in these challenging times.

We work with animal shelters in MA as well as out of state. With over 8.6 million pets being euthanized each year, we try to maximize the number of dogs we can save at once, so we work with several high volume shelters and humane societies in rural parts of the south and in WV where dogs die in large numbers. Save A Dog incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit in 1999 and we were the first dog rescue group in the Boston Metrowest area to bring in dogs from states that have an over-population problem. We have used foster homes and now have a shelter in which to house and show our rescued dogs. We try to make the best match for applicant and dog. We developed a health protocol and quarantined our dogs long before it was state-mandated. To date we have rescued and adopted over 4,300 dogs.
