Midwest Dog Rescue Network

Animal rescue in Omaha, NE

We are not a shelter but a small group foster homes. We rescue dogs from high kill shelters and puppymills. We also take owner surrenders. All of our dogs are spayed and neutered and have current vaccinations before being adopted.
We are a "network" of volunteer rescuers in the Midwest. Many of us have known one another for years from helping with various local rescue groups, shelters, and national breed rescue groups. All of us have had the experience of coming across a dog that needed help that didn’t have a rescue group that could take them into their program. We were finding that regardless of breed or whether a dog is "purebred", there are many of us out there who wanted to help these dogs and need a place to list them. Therefore, we decided to start Midwest Dog Rescue Network to help rescuers help dogs that would otherwise "fall through the cracks". We are a collection of rescuers and some good-hearted individuals, who are just trying to help as many good dogs find homes as possible.

Additional adoption info

The first step in our adoption process is filling out and an adoption questionnaire that helps up match the right dog with the right person. Then our group reviews the questionnaires, then one of our members contacts the person that seems to fit to talk more and meet the dog and family. We do have adoption fees that help cover the cost of spay and neutered and vaccinations. Our fees also go into a general fund that help us take care of some dogs come to us with health extra health needs.
