CANE ROSSO RESCUE

Cane Rosso…like the pizza restaurant? YES! Cane Rosso Rescue is a Dallas-based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose goal is to raise funds, build awareness for homeless pups in Texas, and ultimately find their furever homes! Want to help but can’t commit to adopting a furry friend? You can by fostering! Fostering allows pups to be in a safe & comfortable environment they can open up in as they wait to be adopted! 

If you’re not sure if fostering is for you, you can go on their website to meet some of their foster heroes & read their stories! If it is, use the adoption application & choose your foster pup! OR If you feel led to donate instead, you can do so via Paypal to rescue@canerosso.com, proceeds go to medical care & other expenses!
