My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This wonderful girl was part of a neglect case and was forcefully surrendered. She is such a
sweetheart despite the hardship of her young life. She is friendly to everyone she meets
and likes kidd. She does have the Aussie energy so will need an active family to keep her
busy. She will also need all the basic general training as she was kept outside. We don't
think she has ever been inside a house so it will be an adjustment for her, please be patient.
She also spills her food as she was fed by having food thrown to her. She doesn't know
what to do with a dog bed and is protective over any toy/treat she is given since she was
never given these either. Any family will love the joy and smiles she brings as she is just
happiness in a puppy body. We also use the most animal-friendly transport on the road.

Additional adoption info

All our rescues work hard to find loving homes for the dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies that find their way into their care. These animals come from a wide variety of backgrounds and situations and all of them are looking for a forever home.

They will be completely vaccinated, vetted, neutered/spayed (if age appropriate) and on heartworm protection. All of them come with complete medical records. They are transported to you with our USDA licensed and certified transport – Rescue Riders LLC, “The most animal-friendly transport on the road.”
Their adoption fees vary but, in all cases, it covers the animals vetting, vaccinations, spay/neuter as well as their foster care, and their transportation to your area.

Thank you for opening your home to a rescue animal.

ADOPT, DON'T SHOP.

Go meet their pets

Our rescues generally do not have an actual shelter building in the New England area. This means it is often not possible to meet these babies prior to their adoption however all of these rescues have been rehoming dogs to the North East for many years and are happy to offer you references who can fill you in on their experience and how well the process works.

There is generally a money-back guarantee and a mechanism for returning the dog to the rescue if needed. All these rescues then work to re-home the animal. None are returned to a shelter. We never leave a rescue behind!

More about this rescue

Rescue Riders Cooperative is a group of rescues across the southeast that are linked together by our love of animals and our desire to see as many as possible in the loving arms of a new family. Each rescue is independently run but realizing that there is strength in numbers, we have formed a cooperative to work together to place as many animals as possible.

Not only do the rescues save these animals and give them badly needed health care but they also work tirelessly in their home communities to help educate people regarding the importance of spay & neuter and how it reduces pet overpopulation.

When you adopt one of their dogs you help with this mission. We all thank you for that support and for opening your home and heart to an animal who needs you. You are a hero!
