​The mission of Belgian Tervuren Rescue, Inc. is to act on behalf of any homeless, purebred Belgian Tervuren. To attain this goal, Belgian Tervuren Rescue, Inc. will remove dogs which are unwanted, impounded, neglected or abused from their current situation and place all adoptable dogs in responsible, permanent homes. Prior to placement, Belgian Tervuren Rescue, Inc. will provide temporary foster care, basic health care, training, and temperament evaluation to ensure an optimal match for both the dog and the adopter. Rescue volunteers also provide follow-up, training and education to the new owners of adopted Tervuren to ensure the success of the placement.
