Services
Dog Rescue
We specialize in rescuing dogs deemed unadoptable by other shelters due to behavioral, medical, or training challenges. Our team works directly with local shelters to identify at-risk animals facing euthanasia. Through personalized care plans and positive reinforcement, we prepare these dogs for successful adoption while providing ongoing support to ensure long-term placements.
Adoption Services
Our adoption process emphasizes compatibility between dogs and adopters. We conduct thorough evaluations to match each dog's needs with potential owners' lifestyles. All adopters receive post-adoption counseling, training resources, and lifetime support. Our 98% success rate reflects our commitment to finding permanent, well-suited homes for every rescued animal.
Training Programs
Certified trainers offer community classes focusing on positive reinforcement and relationship-based techniques. Public courses help strengthen human-canine bonds while addressing behavioral challenges. Adopters receive a mandatory Pet Awareness Workshop and one free class, with ongoing support available through consultations and specialized training options for all skill levels.
Foster Care
Our foster program provides temporary homes for dogs awaiting adoption. Foster families receive veterinary care, food, and training support while working with behavioral specialists. The program offers flexible time commitments ranging from weeks to months. Fostering helps dogs transition successfully to permanent homes while supporting our mission to rescue more at-risk animals.
Dog Sports Training
Specialized classes prepare dogs for competitive events while improving obedience and teamwork. Our training emphasizes communication skills and builds confidence for both dogs and handlers. Programs benefit working dogs, active families, and competitors seeking advanced skill development. The curriculum builds on our proven relationship-based training methodology.

I love learning with my dogs and the bond we create with the training from All Breed. I have trained two dogs with them and wouldn't go elsewhere.

We've been taking our dog Gretel here for Neo dog 1 & Neo Dog 2. We absolutely recommend ABRT. We really feel like the bond we share with our dog has grown so much since we adopted her. Everyone is so knowledgeable and willing to help us when we face challenges with our pup. We look forward to taking more classes

My dog has been attending training at ABRT since she was a puppy. They train your dogs (and you) with critical skills that help you comfortably navigate what life throws at them.

Finishing up our second and third classes with ABRT and hope to do more in the future. Their classes have been so effective. And, they are fun! I had never done formal training with my previous dogs and these folks have taught me so much. It's been amazing to see the results. Even in a group setting, you get great individualized feedback. You can tell they work hard to make it a successful and positive experience for humans and dogs alike.
The classes are well organized with flexible offerings and are designed to be effective in real world situations. I love to take my dog as many places as possible and these classes have set us up to do so safely and with confidence. Highly recommend!

These folks are very special in the way they place animals into forever homes, and with the training programs they offer. All non-profits struggle, especially during the shut downs. But they have done well because of their leadership and understanding of their mission. I congratulate them on doing such a fine job.

I cannot say enough about the staff at All Breeds. All the instructors pay such great attention to you when you are in class and offer the best suggestions to help you and your dog understand each other to get the most out of training.
