Welcome to Wet Nose Rescue, Wet Nose Rescue is an all breed dog rescue, founded in 2008 based in Southampton, Pennsylvania and is a totally foster based organization  Our dogs and puppies for adoption are kept in foster homes as we try and find them forever families.  This way our adoptable dogs and puppies have a chance to interact with families who usually have dogs of their own.  While we have an adoption center, we do not kennel dogs there. We try and keep the adoption process as simple as possible and match adoptable dogs with loving and caring families.  The adoption application is located on this website on the dogs for adoption page.   Our Adopt, Shop and Training Center is located at 14425 Bustleton Avenue, Philadelphia, PA  19116 our entrance is on Philmont Avenue. Our adoption center offers adopters the opportunity to purchase all their needs in one spot as well as sign up for dog training classes on site. Our hours at the Adoption Center 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.

We are currently involved in Hurricane disaster relief and need as many foster homes for dogs and puppies as possible as we try and help shelters in the south clear out their shelters to move in displaced family animals.  If interested in fostering please fill out the foster application on this site or call 267-684-6187, it will be greatly appreciated.

  • Volunteers are our lifeline. We are always in need of more volunteers who are willing to give a few hours whenever they can. We need volunteers on transport days when out of state transports come into our adoption center with newly rescued dogs and puppies. We also need volunteers to help out at events we attend to assist with setting up and participating in these rescue events to help get the word out about Wet Nose Rescue.
    Learn more.

  • We are always in need of foster families to care for our rescued dogs and puppies as we search for forever homes. Fostering is a very rewarding experience -- learn more about it on our foster page or contact us directly, we would love to hear from you.

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.”
