Welcome to our web.
WISCONSIN NORWEGIAN ELKHOUND RESCUE is a small, not for profit organization ,dedicated to helping elkhounds in need find their forever homes. Due to limited resources we restrict our rescue to purebred Norwegian Elkhounds, of all ages, and except in unusual circumstances ,take only dogs from Wisconsin. We do not take any dogs that have a history of aggression or biting because of the liability factor. Unfortunately it is not always the dogs fault, but we are strict on that policy.
We believe in letting shelters do what they do best, find homes for dogs...but if a dog is in danger of being put to sleep and we think that they have a good possibility of being an adoption candidate, we will step in and take the dog into foster. Also , we will take owner surrenders, if the dog meets our criteria. Our foster system includes two outdoor kennels and several inhome families.
Sometimes we merely act as a referral for people looking for a dog or people who are looking to find a new home for their dog. You could call it matchmaking! In that case , we take no responsibility as we have not evaluated the dog or the adopting families. Each dog listed will have a description and will say if it is a referral or in our foster program.
If you are interested in any of the dogs posted please email for an application to adopt or for referral information.
FEATURED BELOW IS ONE OF OUR RECENT RESCUE SUCCESSES.
