WELCOME TO RESCUE FOR the misunderstood

Rescue for the Misunderstood is a non-profit organization located in Wilmington, Delaware that is devoted to saving the innocent lives of misrepresented breeds. Our mission is to rescue, educate, and promote responsible guardianship. Our vision is a society with compassion and kindness towards all loving companions without negative stereotypes and senseless laws of breed discrimination. 

Rescue for the Misunderstood is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that operates solely on the support of public donations, and any amount you are able to contribute is going directly to the dogs in our care. With your support, we are able to save the lives of the misunderstood breeds in need of rescue that would otherwise be euthanized in overcrowded animal control facilities. Your donation allows us to continue providing the best possible care to all of our dogs and give them the chance to finally know what it means to find their loving forever homes.
