City Dogs Rescue & City Kitties rescues adoptable dogs and cats from high-kill and overcrowded shelters where resources are severely limited. We offer a lifeline to as many of these wonderful pups as possible. Sadly, nearly all of the dogs and cats we rescue are just days and sometimes hours away from being euthanized, for no reason other than lack of space. By finding them permanent and loving homes in the DC metropolitan area, we can enrich lives - human, canine, and feline. We are excited to embark on this journey, and we welcome your help in any capacity – through volunteering, fostering, adopting, and/or donating.
