Rescuing, Rehabilitating & Rehoming Dogs in Need
Every day, millions of street dogs in South America face starvation, injury, and neglect. We provide urgent medical care, shelter, and international adoption opportunities to give them the loving homes they deserve.
Dedicated to Transforming the Lives of Forgotten Dogs
Dog Rescue of South America Inc is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Orlando, Florida. Founded by Kenzo Tanner, our organization was built on a simple yet profound belief: every dog, regardless of where they were born, deserves safety, medical care, and a loving home.
Across South America, overpopulation and lack of resources leave millions of dogs vulnerable to extreme illness, abuse, and starvation. We work directly with local shelters, veterinary teams, and foster networks in South America to provide emergency rescues, life-saving surgeries, spay/neuter outreach, and international adoption pipelines to the United States.
