Mary's Dogs - Rescue & Adoption

Through cooperation with our close-knit rescue partners in the south, Mary's Dogs Rescue & Adoption staff, volunteers, Board members, and adoptive families in New England effect a three-fold mission:

1.    We actively support the efforts of our rescue partners who work to reduce the number of homeless dogs by rescuing dogs off the streets and from shelters, and who raise awareness of canine health issues, and spay and neuter programs.

2.    We find forever homes for dogs when they arrive at our New Hampshire facility and receive all necessary health certificates.

3.    We ensure excellent supportive and medical care of rescued dogs throughout the adoption process and follow up with families after dogs are placed in their homes. Through every step of the rescue and adoption, connections are made between people, cultures, and dogs. Our community is extremely grateful for the supportive network that embraces us.

Thank you to our partners in the south, our team, and all our adoptive families for being​ the Hero in a dog’s life.

Why adopt a Mary's Dog? ​ All dogs deserve a chance to find a loving and caring home. Many are abandoned or neglected or never given the chance of a good life. As soon as our dogs are in the care of our southern partners, they are treated as family members while awaiting transport to New Hampshire. Our professional team begins caring for the dogs as soon as they arrive at our state-licensed facility to ensure the dogs successfully transition into forever homes. We provide specialty collars and leashes, yummy treats, toys and even homemade chicken stew.​ ​The dogs are examined by our veterinarian and then microchipped.

Once they are granted a NH Health Certificate and observed by our dog savvy rescue team, they are ready to be loved by you! We know our dogs. It’s important you find the right dog for you and your family. We want all our adoptions to be successful and are available to answer your questions before and after you’ve brought your dog home. Please keep in touch! Join our growing community of dog parents and best friends. Come to one of our events, ​learn about dogs, buy a dog a gift ,​ ​— ​share photos!​

We love every dog we rescue. Good dogs make best friends. Will you be the Hero in a Mary’s Dog’s life?

“​Mary’s Dogs made our adoption very simple. We got a great 4 month old who was with a great foster who went out of her way to give us any and all info to make our furbaby’s forever home the best for him.”

“A wonderful team of people clearly dedicated to all dogs finding the right home. Within hours of submitting an application I was in contact with the team, and over the next few days we found the perfect match for my family! Definitely recommended.” 

“What an amazing group of loving and caring people!! Mary's dogs has helped complete our family!”

“What a fantastic, well-organized experience! From start to finish we knew what was going on, what was coming next and who to contact with questions. We drove three hours to Mary’s Dogs for our new baby and they’ll be our first stop the next time we decide to expand our family. Thank you all!”

“Working with Mary's Dogs was amazing. Clear and timely communication from the beginning. References were contacted quickly and then it was on to the phone interview. While looking to rescue a dog we had some really intimidating phone interviews but not with Mary's Dogs. They were kind and the call was very educational. They truly care about finding the right home for each dog they rescue but were also realistic with expectations of potential families. The love pups are shown in their foster homes down south seems amazing. Our dog was 6 months old when we rescued her and she was well socialized. We really can't say enough good things about Mary's Dogs. They have great follow-up and are available with any questions. Thank you for the opportunity to welcome an amazing dog into our family. It's truly been a great experience!”

“We adopted both our beloved mutts from Mary’s Dogs. This is by far the best rescue family in the Northeast!”
