Canine Ethics™

Rescue Memberships

This is reputation infrastructure for Rescues. Before families adopt a puppy, they check the PuppyReports™ Card — and Canine Ethics™ membership builds the public clarity that protects dogs, buyers, and responsible breeding programs

Before families adopt, they check the PuppyReports™ Card.

Canine Ethics™ Rescue Memberships

Built for rescues who put dogs first. Built for public clarity. Built for ethical outcomes.

PuppyReports™ Rescue Memberships are designed to do one thing:
help the public find responsible rescues — and help responsible rescues stand out with clarity.

Inside the PuppyReports™ Ethical Canine Ecosystem, rescues are recognized through the Canine Ethics™ Rescue Memberships — a structured, documentation-forward system that rewards transparency, ethical placement practices, and long-term stewardship.

Why Canine Ethics™ Rescue Memberships by PuppyReports™ Were Built Differently

The rescue world is essential — and it is also complex. Dogs flow through many paths: owner surrenders, shelter transfers, transport networks, foster pipelines, and urgent rehoming situations.

PuppyReports™ was built to serve all dogs with dignity and clarity across the full reality of rescue placements:

  • surrendered dogs, abandoned dogs, and shelter transfers

  • puppies and adult dogs

  • purebreds and mixed breeds

  • medical cases, behavioral cases, and urgent placement cases

  • local rescues, foster-based rescues, and facility-based rescues

Because this ecosystem is inclusive, ethical rescue cannot be reduced to social-media narratives, aesthetics, or popularity. PuppyReports™ supports what the public actually needs:

clear rescue identity + responsible placement practices + documentation transparency that builds confidence.

This protects dogs, supports families, and strengthens responsible rescues.

What Rescues Get With

Canine Ethics™ Rescue Membership

Canine Ethics™ Rescue Membership gives you more than a listing. It gives you a system built to convert rescue stewardship into confidence — and confidence into placements — through documentation, clarity, and dogs-first transparency.

With Canine Ethics™ Rescue Membership, you unlock:

PuppyReports™ Card (Your Trust Profile)

Your PuppyReports™ Card becomes your public-facing rescue trust profile — connecting your rescue identity, policies, transparency signals, and placement context in one place families can understand.

Adoption Listings That Carry Credibility

Your adoption listings connect directly to your PuppyReports™ Card, so families see more than a photo — they see context and confidence.

Documentation Submissions That Support Your Practices

If you operate with standards, policies, and responsible placement processes — you can submit documentation that supports it, so families can choose with clarity.

Canine Ethics Directory Visibility

Be discoverable through the PuppyReports™ ecosystem — where families can search by breed, placement goals, and transparency signals.

Family Experiences™

Confirmed post-placement experiences can be connected to your PuppyReports™ Card, strengthening trust through real outcomes over time.

Puppy Universe™ Marketplace Tools

Promote adoptable dogs and urgent placements inside a marketplace built for all dogs — including the dogs many other platforms leave out.

Integrity Tools™ (Platinum Only)

Platinum rescue members unlock structured participation tools designed to keep public clarity tied to documentation depth and professionalism — not rumor culture..

Choose Your Canine Ethics™ Rescue Membership Level

We meet rescues where they are today — and build upward over time.
Rescues can begin at the level they’re ready for, submit more documentation as they grow, and earn higher distinctions through real accountability.

As your rescue grows, you can submit more documentation, strengthen your PuppyReports™ Card, and earn higher Canine Ethics™ distinctions over time.

Membership levels are earned — not purchased.
Each level reflects what a rescue can document, disclose, and stand behind..

Submit More Documentation Anytime — Upgrade When You’re Ready

Rescues can submit additional documentation at any time to strengthen transparency, improve adopter confidence, and build a more complete PuppyReports™ Card.

When you’re ready to unlock more tools, more visibility, and higher Canine Ethics™ distinctions, you can upgrade your membership level based on the documentation and commitments your organization is prepared to support..

Integrity, transparency, and dogs-first ethics will reshape how breeders and rescues build trust — and how families choose for life.
