Rescue Match was founded by Christina Borchardt, a passionate homeless dog advocate who has helped find forever homes for homeless dogs in need for over 20 years. She started Rescue Match to reach more dogs in need BEFORE they were abandoned or surrendered to a shelter or pound; giving them the greatest chance of finding a new home. Rescue Match works directly with home surrenders(dogs with owners who no longer want to keep them or have the means to take care of them), fosters, and families looking to adopt a new pack member. Rescue Match also assists various dog rescue organizations with necessary foster help.
