Welcome to Wet Nose Rescue

We are an all breed dog rescue, founded in 2008 in Southampton, Pennsylvania.  Wet Nose Rescue is a 100% foster based rescue meaning that while we have an adoption center, we do not kennel dogs there. Instead our adoptable dogs and puppies are kept in local foster homes which allows them to become socialized with families and not kept in a kennel while waiting to be adopted. We aim to match adoptable dogs with loving and caring families, while making the adoption process simple and straight forward. 

  Our hours at the Adoption Center, located at 14425 Bustleton Avenue, Philadelphia, PA  19116, are by appointment only. If you have any questions about adopting a dog or puppy, please feel free to call us at 267-684-6187.

Keep an eye on our calendar for fun events coming up. We are a very active group and we love to see new and past adopters as often as possible!

Please join Wet Nose Rescue on Saturday, December 7th 2024 from 11am to 3pm for our annual Walking In A Furry Wonderland Holiday Party at our Adoption Center.  There will be pictures with Santa, meet Tiny Paws Rescue, PASE Philadelphia Animal Specialty & Emergency Veterinarian Service will be there.  We Will also have food, great raffles and music.  We hope to see you there.

Wet Nose Rescue Adoption Center

Wet Nose Rescue works hard to help those who are unable to help themselves.  Our goal is to help abandoned dogs and puppies that would otherwise be euthanized or subject to a life in extremely poor conditions, unloved and neglected.

Our community thrives when we work together for good.

  • I looked at the caged animals in the shelter. . . the cast offs of human society. I saw in their eyes, love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal and I was angry.
    “God” I said, “this is terrible. Why don't you do something…?”
    God was silent for a moment and then he spoke softly. “I have done something” he replied, “I created you.”
