Canine Nation NFP is a not-for-profit, volunteer group dedicated to things that dogs like, such as: dog rescue, animal advocacy and playing fetch.

Putting an end to animal abuse and neglect.

Canine Nation NFP is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run organization involved in animal rescue, welfare and advocacy. Currently our efforts are focused on dog rescue in Philadelphia, PA and surrounding areas where dogs are at risk of euthanasia at overcrowded shelters.

If you are interested in saving a dog, please fill out our foster/adopt application and email it to caninenation@gmail.com. Please let us know which dog you are interested in fostering or adoption.

Currently our adoption fee is FREE. There is a veterinary charge of $145 which covers spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip and vet check upon leaving the shelter where the dog is located.

Fostering is FREE and can be considered a trial run before adopting (so we do not provide food; that's part of having a dog!). Except in unusual cases, we provide veterinary care during the foster period and can help with other needs like pet-sitting, transportation, etc.

All fosters have first dibs on adopting their dog!

Emergency & short term fosters are also much needed & appreciated. If you have no intention of adopting but would like to be one of our temporary fosters, please let us know. Temporary fosters usually take care of a dog for a week or less, and even 1-night fosters often make the difference between life & death.

So drop us a message on facebook or email, and let's save a dog together!
