Great Dog Rescue New England (GDRNE) is a 501(C)(3) non-profit, shelterless, all-breed rescue group headquartered in Massachusetts.

Great Dog is dedicated to animal rescue. In addition to our primary goal of helping homeless and abandoned dogs find loving forever homes, we:

~donate money to spay and neuter clinics in the south to help solve the problem of pet overpopulation;
~engage in community outreach activities with local schools to help educate children and young adults about animal rescue, responsible pet ownership, proper pet care, etc.
~adopt dogs to agencies that train dogs to assist physically disabled and hearing impaired people (many dogs that were abandoned are now helping people lead independent lives!).

We are proud of the work we do with the dogs and in local communities.

Great Dog Rescue New England needs foster homes! As a shelterless rescue, we don’t have a building where our dogs are housed until they get adopted. We are lucky enough to have loving families who open their hearts and homes to our dogs until they are placed, but we need more foster homes so we can save more dogs. If you can’t foster, we’re always looking for volunteers to help with home visits, screen applications, and to help with special events, so there are lots of ways you can help. Every month we save dozens of wonderful dogs from local and Southern kill shelters and place them in safe, nurturing homes. Please consider joining us in this effort; we would love to have you!
