I didn't see this thread till now...
Very often the animal shelters have the names & contacts of breed specific rescue groups on file when these dogs turn up.
The process is that the dogs are available to the general public for adoption first.
If they are not adopted, then any holds placed on the dogs by whichever rescue group will have the next opportunity to receive the dog for placement in whichever foster home they have available.
I have even seen where one rescue group will contact another rescue group to make sure these dogs get placed somewhere when they are currently at max capacity.
As mentioned above...
