The rescues above have been verified by Deb Nabb – The Mutt Master.
Deb talks about the importance of doing home checks when adopting out dogs. She also talks with Ty S Warrick from Painted Paws For Veterans about home checks and adopting dogs.
This does not mean that other listed rescue organizations don’t do home checks.. it is simply the one’s we have verified so far. We will be updating the list as the team investigates further.
If you know of a great rescue or adoption resource that we have missed, please let us know here.
