Meridian Canine Rescue
Saving lives through storytelling and education
We have to relocate. We urgently need your help.
We’re moving!
Our dogs are heading to a real home on 15+ acres
Behavior
We promote behavioral wellness through a holistic care approach for every animal in our rescue.
Training
Our life skill training curricula teach both dogs and humans how to live – and thrive – together.
Education
The best way for us to help more animals is by sharing our knowledge and skills.
What makes us different
All handlers are Fear Free Shelters graduates.
Positive reinforcement
The animals who come to us most often need to develop life skills that will improve their behaviors in a home – and keep them there. Our training methods are humane and effective, as we build trust with our animals and teach them how to live well with humans.
Customized enrichment
Meeting our animals needs is top priority. They enjoy a high quality of life because we create well-rounded plans designed specifically for each unique animal. Our plans are flexible and dynamic, informed by our daily observations and data collection.
Private location
Our animals deserve to feel safe and secure, which is why we work closely with volunteers and visitors to provide access that doesn’t cause unnecessary stress for anyone.
Continuing education
We advocate for improving the relationships between humans and animals. We value research and innovation, constantly seeking to upgrade our understanding of animal intelligence and welfare and to share that information with our community.
