Pups on the Plains Rescue Team

Animal rescue in Auburn, AL

We are a student-led and run organization based in Auburn, AL. We are not affiliated with the University directly.

Our mission is to pull dogs from "death row", high-kill shelters in the surrounding area where dogs often do not last more than a week, and bring them into our foster homes. We teach these pups how to become loving, well-adjusted house dogs in preparation for their new homes.
