Rescue Mission: At Path of Hope Rescue we save pregnant dogs and puppies in high kill shelters in the South.

Path of Hope Rescue, a grassroots dog rescue located in Spokane, WA is looking for hardworking Americans to join our mission of saving pregnant dogs and puppies from high kill shelters in Texas.

No NGO status here, we don't take a single penny from the government; we're about rolling up our sleeves, taking responsibility for our own actions, and building a strong, positive community, one dog at a time. We reward merit, not DEI.

We love dogs. At PHR you will find people who recognize your dog before they recognize you. Where it's normal for your dog to have his own Instagram and people who expect to be invited to your dog's birthday party.

We know dogs are family and should be treated that way. And we are driven by a shared passion to make sure every dog who isn't being loved finds their way to a family. We care for each other and have created a community of people who love making a difference.

• Protect the heart of America - its dogs and its people - without apology.
• Work with pups who'll repay your sweat with loyalty that shames most humans.
