Briard Rescue Trust is a 501(c)(3) charitable trust formed to further the Briard Club's mission of protecting Briards in need of rescue.

The trust's goals include education of the public regarding the needs of Briards in rescue, education of persons who wish to help Briards in need, encouragement and support of responsible breeders of Briards, and establishment of a system that encourages effective communication among all individuals involved in rescue.
