Rescue Program
Every Puppy Deserves
a Second Chance
We proudly partner with shelters, rescues, and foster networks across the country to help rehome puppies who have been abandoned, surrendered, or displaced. If you’re interested in welcoming a rescue puppy into your home, please browse our available puppies under Puppy Rescues. A rehoming fee applies.
Shelters, rescues, and foster organizations are also welcome to register with us to list their puppies on our platform.
Rescue Partners List Their Own Puppies
Pups of Hope does not operate a rescue or accept puppies for rehoming directly. Instead, verified rescue organizations register as partners on our platform and list their own puppies for rehoming. Every rescue-listed puppy is vet-checked, vaccinated, and managed by the rescue that knows them best.
How Our Rescue Program Works
From intake to forever home, we ensure every rescue Puppy receives the care, vetting, and attention they deserve before joining your family.
Step 01
Rescue Intake
Pups of Hope does not function as a rescue organization. We support rescues and rescuers by helping them ethically rehome puppies up to 12 weeks of age.
Step 02
Vet Check
We help rehome puppies from rescuers after they’ve received their vet checks and vaccinations.
Step 03
Profile & Match
We create a detailed profile for each rescue puppy and use our concierge matching system to connect them with loving homes on the waiting list.
Step 04
Forever Home
Once matched, we coordinate ground or air delivery and provide ongoing support to ensure a smooth transition for both the pup and the new family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about rescuing through Pups of Hope
What is the rehoming fee for rescue puppies?
rehoming fees vary by organization and typically range from $150 to $450. This covers vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery, microchipping, and veterinary examinations. The exact fee is listed on each Puppies profile page.
Can I rehome a rescue if I live in another state?
Absolutely. Pups of Hope coordinates both ground and air delivery nationwide. Our logistics team handles travel arrangements, health certificates, and crate requirements to ensure safe transport to your doorstep.
How long does the foster period typically last?
Most foster placements last between 2 and 6 weeks. During this time, the Puppy adjusts to a home environment and we gather behavioral data that helps us make the best permanent match. Some Puppies may be placed sooner if a match is identified quickly.
What breeds are available through rescue?
Our rescue network includes all breeds and mixes. While availability changes daily, we consistently see Labrador mixes, German Shepherd mixes, Pit Bull types, Beagles, Chihuahuas, and many others. Join the waiting list with your preferred breed and we will notify you when a match arrives.
Are payment plans available for rescue rehoming?
Yes. We accept all major credit cards through Stripe and offer Klarna Pay in 4 for qualifying purchases, so you can split your rehoming fee into four interest-free installments.

Visit our Partner Registration page and select “Rescue” as your category. Complete the full application with your organization details, facility description, and veterinarian references.
