Shamrock Rescue Foundation offers another chance to animals whose luck has run out. Many of the dogs we save are seniors who have been surrendered to shelters by their families. We save these pups because we believe they deserve to live the rest of their lives with love and dignity. With your generous assistance, we can provide care, nurturing, and rehabilitation to these and other animals who otherwise would not have made it out of area shelters. We are a private rescue, not an animal shelter. We do not have the resources to pick up stray, abandoned, or lost animals. For these services, please contact your local animal shelter.

Shamrock Rescue Foundation

Shamrock Rescue Foundation saves dogs and other animals who are in danger of being put to death in public shelters. These animals often have little to no hope of a better life, or of a life, period. Without our intervention, many animals now living happy lives with loving families would not have had a chance. We do not discriminate as to breed, size or age. We are advocates for all animals who cannot be advocates for themselves. Our dogs are in foster homes or boarded until permanent homes can be found for them.

All of our animals are examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible after we get them. Blood work is performed to ensure that they are healthy, or if they aren't, how we can get them healthy. If health care is necessary, we provide it. All are microchipped, spayed and neutered and current on vaccinations. Rescue costs, medical costs, boarding costs, and feeding (we want to make sure our animals stay healthy!) add up.

Please help us help them by donating today!

Maryanne Dell

Maryanne Dell has been rescuing and finding homes for dogs since 1991. She started Pet Lovers Network, an informal, private adoption group, with a friend in 1997. In 2006, Charice and Ron King kindly decided to begin helping her efforts, and Shamrock Rescue Foundation was born. When she isn't rescuing and rehabilitating dogs, Maryanne is training them or competing in nose work with her pups Stitch and Bumblebee.

Shamrock Rescue Foundation is a Nonprofit Charity, 501 (c)(3).
