the right home

We pull dogs, cats, and farm animals out of shelters that have run out of time, give them the care they need, and help them find the family they were meant for. Not just any family — the right one.

Our mission is simple — the right home for every animal.

We were built on one simple belief: the right match changes everything. We don't just find animals homes — we find them the right home. We'd rather wait three months for the right match than rehome an animal twice.

Before there was Raskel's Rescue, there was Gus. A basset hound who lived down the street, Gus slipped under Carol's gate like he had been invited, and made himself completely at home. Nobody asked him to. He just kept coming back.

That connection led Carol to find Raskel. A basset hound who had been through multiple adoptions that never quite worked out, Raskel was smart, funny, and quietly exceptional. He later became three-time gold medalist at the Oregon Basset Games. He and Gus started something -- and that something is everything you see here.

So many ways to make a difference.

You don't have to adopt to help. Volunteering moves the mission forward, and so does showing up to an event or sharing what we do with one person. Every bit matters.
