Rescue Dogs Rock Nyc - New York Pet Shelter

Rescue Dogs Rock Nyc

Rescue Dogs Rock is a not for profit animal rescue founded in 2015. We exist solely on donations and rely primarily on fundraising to help animals in need. Our goal is to raise awareness of the ever growing plight of homeless animals in this country, both in shelters and those dumped on our streets. Way too many amazing animals are euthanized every single day simply because they are homeless. We want to introduce these animals to the public and educate people that unwanted companion animals are not damaged goods or unworthy, but really can be great family pets. Because the abuse, neglect, cruelty and medical cases cost shelters the most money and are the most urgent, they are often the first animals euthanized. Our focus is on the rescue of these urgent animals and provide them immediately the routine, emergency or specialized medical care they need and deserve. We will go beyond just vet care and get these animals rehabilitated as needed using trainers and behaviorists to help overcome issues related to past trauma. It is our belief that no injured or abused animal should lose its life simply due to lack of funds. We do not have our own shelter, and we will rely on volunteers, fosters and adopters to take the animals into their homes and provide them with proper care and nurturing. All of our animals will be vaccinated, heart worm tested, micro-chipped and altered. All of our homes, foster or adopter, will be fully screened, including references and vet check, an interview with the applicant and a home visit to ensure the home is the right fit for the animal. Our outreach and education efforts will take place on our website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, as well as in person in the community via community events, school assemblies and any place people may lawfully gather to exchange information and learn. Our message is one teaching general animal care and welfare, population control through spay and neuter and disease control in the animal population via proper vaccinations. All of our animals will be vaccinated, heart worm tested, micro-chipped and altered. All of our homes, foster or adopter, will be fully screened, including references and vet check, an interview with the applicant and a home visit to ensure the home is the right fit for the animal.

Adoption Process

Thank you for your interest in adopting from our rescue and adding a new member to your family. Once we receive your application we will begin processing it as soon as possible. 1. To adopt a dog from RDR, start by completing our online application. If you are unable to access our application please email us we will be happy to assist you. First we will review your application by checking your references and landlord (if applicable) and if your application is approved we will set up a home visit whereby a RDR volunteer will visit your home to make sure it is a proper environment for an RDR puppy or dog. Once you are notified that you are approved you will pay the specified donation fee. Once you make your donation we will send you an adoption contract and make arrangements for you to pick up your puppy or dog. 2. All current pets in the home must be spayed/neutered. 3. Adopters must be at least 25 years old. 4. If you are not ready to adopt or foster and would like to in the future we gladly will keep your application on file. 5. Please understand that we ask many questions during the adoption process and we screen our applicants very carefully. It might seem like we are invasive but we need to insure that we have placed each RDR puppy or dog in the best possible home.
