Ridge's Rescue

Ridge’s Rescue is a volunteer-run and foster-based organization committed to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming domestic companion animals primarily within the Rochester area.
We provide a safe and secure refuge in a home environment for abused, unwanted, and neglected animals while they receive support for any medical or behavioral needs before being adopted.
We advocate for and promote awareness in our community about animal safety and the importance of spaying and neutering household pets.
