Our Mission

At The Red Dog Rescue, we go beyond rescue. Our mission is to prepare every dog for a successful, permanent home through intentional training and careful matching. Because when dogs are set up for success, they don't come back-they stay home, where they belong.

  • Fritz is a young male dog that was rescued from Indianapolis Animal Control on 10/10/25. He was set to be euthanized purely because he was energetic and jumpy. Since being in our care Fritz has learned polite manners, recall, sit, down, drop it and how to be a dog! He’s often described as the happiest guy around. We really don’t think he’s capable of having a bad day. He currently lives with his foster dad Logan, and foster mom Marissa.

  • Pascal was found as a stray in Bloomington, IN. As a young terrier mix he did not do well in the chaotic environment of the shelter. He bonded fast to shelter staff and became very nervous when anyone else would approach. The Red Dog Rescue took him on to rehab him, make him more confident and help him feel more comfortable in the real world. Pascal has done just that, is thriving and ready for adoption. Check out more information about him on petfinder and Instagram.

  • Oh Tommy Boy! He is a 3 year old male, rescued from Indianapolis Animal Control. He was set to be euthanized 9/5/2025 until we rescued him. He had been at IACS for 135 days, kenneled for 23 hours a day. NOW Tommy loves to be your personal side kick! Go on any adventures you might be up to. Lowes, shopping, Starbucks, hikes, the park, chill day in on the couch…. as long as he’s by your side, he’s up for anything! He is a go with the flow kind of guy and gets along with dogs, cats and (while untested) kids. He has such a sweet loving demeanor that every dog owner should get to experience and love.
