About Us


The Wynn Dog Rescue is an all volunteer team of animal lovers from the Eastern Monadnock region in southern New Hampshire. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization, a New Hampshire Nonprofit Corporation and we are licensed by the State of New Hampshire as an Animal Shelter Facility. We have been rescuing dogs since 2006 and have had more than 350 wonderful animals come through our rescue operation and into loving homes since that time.

"Wynn" means "friend" in Old English. Wynn is a real dog - a big black Lab/Staffie/Chow/Akita super-mutt with a curly tail, massive chest, and petite feet. Like many rescued dogs across the nation, Wynn is very appreciative of her life and loves her family very much. And like many rescued dogs across the nation, she inspired her family to rescue more dogs. So The Wynn Dog Rescue was born in March of 2006 with a few people who wanted to help more people find their "friends" in rescued dogs.

There are a lot of rescue organizations, breeders, and even (sigh...) pet shops out there from which you and your family could choose to find your new addition, so why us? We have a few reasons and would like to share them with you.

1. WE ARE AN ALL-VOLUNTEER TEAM.

The Wynn Dog Rescue is comprised totally of dedicated volunteers. We devote our free time to this cause because we love dogs, and we love to see them find their "happy-ever-after." We are "paid" in puppy kisses and in knowing that we have saved many lives and brought many families together.

2. WE KNOW OUR DOGS VERY WELL, AND BECAUSE OF THIS, WE CAN MAKE VERY STRONG MATCHES.

We pride ourselves on making positive lifelong matches between dogs and families. We get to know our dogs well because they live in actual homes while they await their permanent families, so we learn a lot of information about them and what homes best suits each individual dog.

Dogs are part of your family for 10-15 years (we hope), and there is a lot to consider when making your match. Activity level, sociability with dogs/kids/small animals, temperament, history, level of training needed -- all of these are very important factors when picking your match. We have implemented a program that allows us to know these things, and share them with you, prior to inviting a dog to join your family.

3. OUR DOGS ARE VERY HEALTHY AND WELL-CARED FOR.

Our dogs enter their new homes with extensive vet care and medical treatment to make sure they are healthy and safe for your family. They have been vaccinated with the full DHLPP series, a Rabies vaccination, and Bordatella vaccine. They have been on heartworm preventative monthly, and they have been dewormed monthly. All animals have been spayed and neutered.

Prior to adoption, all of our animals are seen by a certified veterinarian and given a health certificate as required by the State of NH. We extend a very special thanks to Dr. Heather Sawyer of the Fieldstone Animal Clinic in Rindge, NH.

              OUR DOGS
The majority of our dogs come from Second Chance Animal Rescue in Puerto Rico
(a United States Territory), an outstanding organization on the island that rescues and rehabilitates dogs that are found abandoned, unwanted, injured  and malnourished. They are a dedicated group of volunteers that send us wonderful dogs, and we are pleased to have such a nice relationship with them.

We also take in local surrenders -- dogs here in our area that are no longer able to live with their current families due to a variety of reasons, often times through no fault of their own. We take them into our foster program and work to find them a new chance at happiness.
We are a foster-home rescue organization, without a physical shelter. Our dogs live in temporary homes with loving volunteers until we can find them permanent placement. We feel this structure allows us to get to know the dogs very well, and then to place them in homes where they can shine.

As a foster home rescue, we do not have a physical shelter you can visit at any given time. We do hold monthly "Meet and Greet" days at local businesses where potential adoptive families can come and meet our available pups. The dates for the Meet and Greets will be posted under News at the top of the page. We also can set up individual meetings with pre-approved families at any time that works for all parties involved. For more information on the pre-approval process, please contact us.
