Where You Can Find Us

Rescue Alliance of Hairless & Other Breeds, Inc. is a non-profit nationwide coalition of over 40 members who run independent rescues and foster homes located throughout the United States. We strive to match our fosters with their perfect forever homes through application, screening, and home visits. Each foster home sets its own policies, so you will need to contact the foster home if you are interested in adopting a specific animal you see on our website.

There are times when a family feels a need to give up their beloved animal companion. If it is due to a behavioral issue, sometimes such problems can be corrected. We will be happy to assist you with ways to overcome such issues, or address other options. But if the time comes where you really must release your animal companion to foster care, please contact us and we will do everything in our power to find the right foster home or forever home for your companion.

Our Volunteer of the Year

Meet Jessica!
Daughter and granddaughter of members
Rachel Grimm and Adell Phillis
of our Ohio Chapter
Jessica is the hardest working rescue assistant in the
business. She's “Chief Groomer and Crate Cleaner.”
If that isn't enough, you should see her handle dogs!
We've got a real up and coming rescuer here for sure.
She worked very hard this summer helping Rachel
and Adell with all the rescue dogs. They couldn't
have done it without her! That's Stanley posing
proudly with his foster mom.

Member, Georgia Mincey, has a goat farm in Tennessee where she raises dairy goats and rescues whoever needs a home. Here she took in a 4-week-old Blue Heeler puppy who's mother would not care for her. Look at who she chose to curl up with--Stepan and Peaches--two Russian hairless cats! Since the cats have no hair (although Peaches is still a baby and has some peach fuzz) their bodies feel warmer than their coated counterparts. The puppy may be little, but she knows who the best napping buddies are!

Who is she cuddling up with?

Kitties!
