Story
Still no interest for beautiful ASPEN, and we just don’t understand why 💔😔 Aspen was found on Dead Dog Beach starving and suffering from heartworm. Now, after months of rehabilitation and treatment at the vet and our Sanctuary, we are pleased to report he has reached a healthy weight and the heartworm has been treated and deemed incommunicable 🤗 Aspen is all better and has been ready for his forever home for a while now ♥️ But nobody seems to notice him… Aspen is 2-3 years old and weighs 52 lbs. He is a medium/high energy dude who loves to play and explore. We’re guessing he has some lab mix in him, but you never know with satos - they can be anything! Aspen’s ideal home is one with no cats or young children. But he does well with other pups! We know the perfect adopters are out there waiting for him. If you think that’s you, apply at thesatoproject.org/adopt or email us at adoption@thesatoproject.org today 🙏

Story
Maybelle is a 4-year-old purebred Bloodhound from a champion bloodline in Asheville, NC. She is up to date on all of her shots and has just been spayed. Finding Maybelle a new home is the hardest decision we have ever had to make. We love her tremendously, and this is not because of anything she has done. Due to family circumstances, we have to move and cannot find an apartment that will give her the space she deserves. Maybelle is truly the most perfect, gentle dog. She loves everyone and is wonderful with people. She would happily snuggle with a child or grandma, sleep beside you all day, or spend the day hiking and exploring. She is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and easygoing. Her ideal home would be a house with a securely fenced yard where she can roam freely. A home without a yard could work for someone committed to walking her at least 2x a day. We want her to find a loving forever home that understands how special she is. Giving her up is the hardest decision we’ve ever had.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. This handsome guy is Trey! Trey is a Pittie mix, about 6 years old. Trey was adopted through Rescue Ridge a little over a year ago. His mom loves him dearly but due do some very difficult unforeseen circumstances, she can no longer keep Trey. She is heartbroken and so are we. We have a few weeks to find Trey a new home, or he will have to come back to our kennel.  Trey is a fantastic dog. Super sweet and friendly! Loves all his mom’s friends and neighbors and is good with children. He’s housebroken and extremely well behaved in the home. He has even had professional training! His mom describes him as the ultimate cuddle bug. He loves to be around people and would love a home where someone is home a majority of the time. Trey also loves to play and would truly enjoy a home with a fenced yard. Trey’s only request is to be the only dog in the home. Trey is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. If you’d like to meet this sweet boy, please fill out an application on our website at Rescueridge.com. If your application is a possible match, a volunteer will reach out to you to schedule a meet.    Trey is located in Monmouth County, NJVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 15, 2026, 6:59 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Princess, a sweet senior girl in need of a new home. Princess is a 9 year old petite pittie mix. She was surrendered to us when her mom fell ill and could no longer care for her. Princess spent her whole life in a loving home and is doing her best to adjust to kennel life. Princess is friendly to everyone. She is a loving and affectionate girl who enjoys laying on a comfy bed and going for leisurely walks. She is housebroken and well behaved in the home. She would be a wonderful companion or family dog and she deserves to spend her golden years curled up on a couch instead of a kennel floor. Her only request is to be the only dog in the home. Princess is microchipped, UTD on vaccines and will be spayed upon adoption. If you’d like to meet Princess, please fill out an adoption application on our website at Rescueridge.com.
