What We Do

Our Mission

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.

About Us

Our work began in January of 2022. Through her experience as an active volunteer at Rochester Animal Services and her heavy involvement with another local rescue, the Founder and President of Ridge’s Rescue saw a need in the Rochester community for another animal rescue. The leap was taken, and with the support of our incredible sponsors, volunteers, and community members - we were able to raise enough funds to bring our first dog to safety in a matter of months. And the rest… is history!

Ridge’s Rescue was founded on the belief that there are many deserving pups who can survive and thrive if given appropriate care and love. We are here to give them that chance, and to join the many rescues in the Rochester area who are working diligently every day to fill that void of care for companion animals in need.
