At Almost There Rescue, we believe every mama dog and pup deserves a safe place to land. We specialize in rescuing homeless pregnant mamas, nursing dogs, and young puppies, giving them the love, medical care, and support they need before finding their furever families.

From lifesaving biosecurity protocols and our Puppy Preschool program to innovative initiatives that help reduce canine overpopulation, we’re committed to giving every dog the very best start in life. Our work reaches beyond the dogs in our care. We’re working towards an Arizona with more rescue advocates and a future of no more homeless dogs. 

Whether you’re here to adopt, foster, volunteer, donate, or simply learn more about our mission, we’re so glad you found us. We can’t wait to show you what makes our little rescue so special.
