American Brussels Griffon Rescue Alliance (ABGRA) is a small nation-wide, non-profit, all foster home based rescue organization. We have no kennel facility or paid employees. Our goal is to find permanent loving homes for Brussels Griffons & Affenpinschers in need; most having spent their lives in commercial breeding facilities & who will have a better chance at life through our efforts.

All of our griffs are fostered in private homes noted in the area written in their online biographies. Unfortunately, we add dogs frequently.

All of our griffs are vetted before being placed, including spay/neuter, vaccinations, micro chipping, & occult heartworm testing.

We do not ship our dogs. Adopters must be able to drive to the foster home for the griff approved to adopt or make arrangements for the griff to travel home with you in the cabin of the airline.

Homes with securely fenced yards are given preference. We do not place our griffs in homes with electric (invisible) fencing. And children in the adoptive homes must be at least the age of 5 years old.

If you are interested in becoming a foster home or would like to be considered for the adoption of one of our rescues, please fill out the online application. Once submitted, you are under no obligation to adopt or foster, but the information will enable us to follow up with you & answer questions more completely.
