ADOPT A BADASS

Saving badass dogs from idiot humans

Badass Animal Rescue is a 501(c)3 nonprofit on a mission to save and rehabilitate loving, adoptable dogs from high-kill shelters. Our largely volunteer-run team has rescued over 3,500+ dogs since our founding in 2011. As a leader in responsible rescue, we focus on saving the most at-risk dogs from underserved communities in the rural American south and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

  • We Rely On Our Foster Families

    Fostering saves lives. Badass does not have a shelter space and can only rescue as many dogs as we have fosters for. Our Badass foster parents directly help save the lives of deserving pups by housing, loving, and getting rescue dogs ready for adoption into their forever homes.

  • Volunteer With Badass

    As a primarily volunteer-run organization, we rely on dog lovers with many different skill sets. From our adoptions team to social media squad, there’s many opportunities to make a meaningful impact.
