Every My Metal Rescue silhouette is designed, laser cut and hand polished by our small team in Idaho! We take a lot of pride in what we do and love to help support the local community by keeping jobs in the USA and supporting great local charities with every metal rescue sold!

We love our dogs and wish we could make a custom My Metal Rescue for every dog. Unfortunately it can take a week or more for our team to make each My Metal Rescue just right, so at this time we are unable to make custom My Metal Rescues.

We try to size out everything based on where it fits best: Our smaller size fits great in a planter or pot either at your home or work! Our larger size looks great in yards, flower beds, and gardens. We also have an extra large size for any larger spaces you’re looking to fill! You are only limited by your imagination!

We use only Premium 11 gauge Corten Steel for every metal rescue. We don’t compromise on the metal quality we use and have found that 11 gauge steel makes all of our dogs very stout regardless of the size.

Corten Steel (also commonly referred to as weathering steel) refers to the chemical composition of the steel. This composition allows it to resist corrosion far better than other steels. This is due to the protective rust layer created on its surface caused by exposure to the elements.

Yes, if they are exposed to the elements. Corten Steel Metal Rescues are specifically designed to evolve and patina as the weather changes. This patina layer will change in color with the seasons and helps to add a distinguished look to your rescue. Unlike other steels, Corten Steel is designed to last decades exposed to the elements while only getting a surface patina.

Black Metal Rescues, however, will not change color. The black powder coat protects the steel underneath, preventing any rust from developing.
