Ridge's Rescue

Dog rescue in Rochester, NY

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 advocate for and promote awareness in our community about animal safety and the importance of spaying and neutering household pets.
