Rescue Dogs for Wildlife
Welcome to our charity, where we believe every dog deserves a second chance. Based in Zimbabwe, we rescue dogs from shelters at risk of euthanasia and train them to become heroes in critical roles like medical alert, anti-poaching scent detection, search and rescue and wildlife protection. Join us in celebrating these amazing success stories and happy endings as we transform rescued dogs into invaluable assets for their communities. Together, we can make a difference, one paw at a time.
