     Brother Wolf Canine Rescue is composed of a group of animal advocates whose mission is to work towards the end of euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals as a means of population control in our community. Working collaboratively with other like-minded organizations, we strive to achieve this goal through aggressive spay/neuter, education, and our foster care system, providing dogs with a temporary sanctuary and comprehensive training until they can be placed in a permanent, carefully screened home. We take pride in caring for our dogs in a holistic manner, tending to their physical and emotional well being until adoption. Every dog is given indvidualized care, increasing his/her adoptability and then matched with an appropriate home.
