Compass Dog Rescue was established to pull dogs from high kill shelters and bring them into foster care until their forever home is found.

Compass Dog Rescue is dedicated to rescuing dogs from high kill shelters, specifically in the south, and guiding them north bringing them into foster care until qualified, loving forever homes can be found. Please visit the photo album section of the page to see dogs currently in foster care and available for adoption. At this time we do private, in-home adoptions only. The adoption process consists of an application, a phone interview, a meet and greet, reference checks and an adoption agreement. The rescue will not deviate nor make exceptions from this adoption process. All of the dogs are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, heartworm tested (treated if positive, on preventatives if negative) and microchipped. The adoption fee varies based on the the age and history of the dog. Currently the rescue does not have a website, but future plans include having one. We have a wonderful group of dedicated fosters and volunteers (but always looking for more) all helping to find these wonderful dogs great, loving homes
