Guardian Dog Rescue

Dog rescue in Moyock, NC

We at Guardian Dog Rescue work in rescuing and placing Guardian type molosser breeds and bully breeds in Northeast North Carolina and Hampton Roads VA as well as SC. We take in pregnant and nursing or orphan dogs from high kill shelters and occasional owner surrenders. Guardian Dog Rescue is also a partner with Villalobos Rescue Center in New Orleans, LA and their Swamp Dog Project. Fame to the TV show Pit Bulls and Parolees, VRC helps hundreds of dogs. Our President and founder has been a rescue friend of Tia Torres of VRC for a few years and helps out VRC when we can.
We here at GDR have a vast background in the molosser breeds we rescue. Our founder has a background in veterinary medicine and animal behavior with over 25yrs in the fields along with showing and working most of our rescue breeds. All of our volunteers are knowledgeable about the molosser breeds and training for such breeds. All of our foster homes have been thoroughly checked and we make sure dogs are not left crated in a foster home for hours a day.
We work to educate the public about these breeds and place them in loving qualified homes. We make sure all dogs are spayed or neutered, heart worm tested, vaccinated, and micro-chipped before placing. We also do behavior evaluations and basic training before placing each dog.
