We are working on a database of rescue contacts in the Boise area. 
Here are the breeds that we have information for. 
If you know of a group that's not listed, please contact us
If you want to adopt a dog, most rescue groups will ask you to fill out 
an extensive questionnaire to ensure that your lifestyle is appropriate 
for the breed that you're considering. 
If you have a purebred dog that needs a home, contact the local 
rescue person. Some of them are overwhelmed and may suggest 
that you take the dog to the Humane Society and they will step in 
if necessary, but many will find a foster home and the right 
new home for your pet.

If you’re interested in helping rescue efforts, fostering or transporting dogs 
please contact the closest rescue person for your breed.

for a list of ways that you can help Rescue groups- 
some involve very little investment of time or money.

If you don't see the breed that you're interested in listed here, click here to go to the American Kennel Club's Rescue Page. Most breeds have national rescue organizations with contacts in nearby states. They will often make arrangements with you for transporting a dog once it's determined that you and the dog are a good fit.
