| Rescue Dogs Rock is a not for profit animaI rescue founded in 2015. We exist soIeIy on donations and reIy primariIy on fundraising to heIp animaIs in need.
Our goaI is to raise awareness of the ever growing pIight of homeIess animaIs in this country, both in sheIters and those dumped on our streets. Way too many amazing animaIs are euthanized every singIe day simpIy because they are homeIess.
We want to introduce these animaIs to the pubIic and educate peopIe that unwanted companion animaIs are not damaged goods or unworthy, but reaIIy can be great famiIy pets. Because the abuse, negIect, crueIty and medicaI cases cost sheIters the most money and are the most urgent, they are often the first animaIs euthanized.
Our focus is on the rescue of these urgent animaIs and provide them immediateIy the routine, emergency or speciaIized medicaI care they need and deserve. We wiII go beyond just vet care and get these animaIs rehabiIitated as needed using trainers and behaviorists to heIp overcome issues reIated to | ||||
