Overview
Mission
Rescue dogs rock is a ny-based animal rescue. We will pull animals in need (medical needs, abuse cases, unwanted litters, etc) from public and private animal shelters in ny, nj, md, va, ga, nc, sc and other states as we find cases that touch our hearts. These animals will receive triage medical care where they are (at our expense) and then we will transport them to our vets in nyc for the remainder of their care. We will provide them training if needed and place them in foster or permanent homes. These activities will be performed by the principles directly as well as by a large contingent of animal rescue volunteer contacts we have have in the new england area. Each rescue saves the life of an unwanted and potentially abused or neglected companion animal, stops their suffering and prevents them from being euthanized. 100% of time spent in this organization will be executing the various aspects of rescue. These activities will be funded primarily by donations and contributions from ani
