Don't forget our senior elkhounds designated by asterisks after their names! If you can't adopt one, how about a donation to a senior no-kill shelter.

If there is no dog listed near you, please go to Petfinder.com and help a shelter dog.

Established in August of 1996, we believe this to be the oldest Elkhound Rescue page on the Internet. It arose from the common desires of group of people with one common goal: to find caring, loving homes for Norwegian Elkhounds and Elkhound mixes, in both the United States and Canada. Eventually these desires and goal became the foundation of a rescue organization called the John Nelsen Moosedog Rescue Fund.

If you cannot adopt a needy Elkhound now, but would like to help with our efforts, you can make a donation to:

John Nelsen Moosedog Rescue Fund
P.O. Box 65
Mendenhall, PA 19357

Via PayPal

If you need other information, contact us at rescue@jnmrf.org or visit us at www.jnmrf.org

Your donations and gifts are tax deductible. We have received our determination letter from the IRS and are classified as a tax exempt organization described in section 501c3.

If you wish to refer a needy dog to us, please use the Submit for Adoption form to provide as much information as possible. We are a national rescue and need information on the location of the dog as well as the legal owner or responsible party.
