Here at Rescue Dogs Rock NYC, we don’t just save the easy ones; we focus on saving the more difficult, the most urgent, critically injured and expensive dogs to save. Why? Because there are too many companion animals with medical and emotional needs that have been victims of cruelty, abuse and neglect that will never leave the shelter alive due to their needs all too often because of the funding & long-term commitment involved in rescuing them. Shelters just do not have funds to address these concerns.

RDRNYC is a 501c3, volunteer & foster based rescue.

“Save a life by adopting instead of shopping”

Rescue Dogs Rock is a non-profit animal rescue founded in 2015. We exist solely on donations and rely primarily on fundraising to help animals in need.

Since its inception, Rescue Dogs Rock NYC has saved over 9,300 dogs.

Our goal is to save abused & at risk dogs from kill shelters & provide vetting & loving homes.

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.

It is our goal to focus 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.

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.

Meet Our Adoptable Pets of the Month

 

Mollie

Mollie (AL) is a female possibly German Shepherd Dog/Pit Bull Terrier mix rescued in Alabama, and estimated to be 18 months old at intake in February 2021. Mollie is good with people.  It took some time for Mollie’s owner to surrender her after we rescued her puppies and her condition told a story of the horrific abuse she has suffered.  Underweight, Mollie spent her life in a crate in her own waste to the extent that the pads of her feet were burnt and infected. Now healed, Mollie is sweeter than all the sugar in the world. She is a pure bundle of love and just wants to be loved in return. Mollie is a dream on a leash, does well in the car and is housetrained; she would LOVE a yard where she can lay in the sun in her forever home.  Despite her past, Mollie’s crate is her safe space and she goes in on her own whenever she’s feeling overwhelmed. She knows to go right in when it’s dinner or treat time and it’s become a positive space for her. Mollie does best with confident dogs who will keep her in check. Mollie has waited all her young life to experience love, kind words, soft touches and a happy home, and she is now ready to live that dream.  If you can give Mollie the life she deserves, please apply online to adopt Mollie (AL) here.

Missy

Missy is a beautiful 3yr old Lab/Chow mix weighing in at 54 lbs! Missy came to rescue from GA with a terribly painful skin infection and mange. Look how stunning this beautiful girl is now!  Missy was extremely scared of people when she came into foster. She has absolutely “blossomed” and is the life of the party in her foster family’s pack. Missy MUST have another dog as she builds confidence and finds much happiness and peace surrounded by other canines. She does well with male and female dogs of all sizes, and she must have a fenced yard to run around in. She is VERY shy and timid at first with human strangers and must build trust at her own pace. Once she feels secure, she turns into a playful, loving, affectionate girl who brings joy wherever she is! Missy is spayed, crate trained and house trained. She has very nice manners in the home. She enjoys her crate for her personal “den” and finds security there. Adopter must be willing to allow Missy to open up and trust at her own pace and seek attention in her own time. If you can open your heart and home to Missy and give her the time and patience she so deserves, please apply here.

Shelly

Shelly, a beautiful Pittie, was rescued from Manhattan ACC where she had been brought in as a stray. Our veterinary partner estimates that Shelly was born in 2015. She had broken teeth and was emaciated at only 24 pounds!! Her foster mom has been taking such good care of her and she now is healthy and happy! Despite her obvious neglect, Shelly remains a very sweet and loving girl, and we can’t wait until she has a home to call her very own. Shelly is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, housebroken, crate trained and knows basic commands. This girl is super smart and would do well with an active family willing to take the time and make sure she gets enough of her favorite activity. . . chasing tennis balls! Shelly is great with kids and people of all ages. She does not do well with cats, and a meet and greet is required if there are other dogs in the home. Please apply online here if you are interested in adopting Shelly.
