Rescue City

Our mission is to save the lives of dogs in desperate need while spreading public awareness against animal cruelty and overpopulation.Everyday we save vulnerable dogs from neglect, abuse, and euthanasia. We provide temporary safe foster homes and medical/emergency treatment to prepare these loving animals for their forever home. (This means we do not have a physical shelter location, and all of our dogs are in loving foster homes throughout the city.) Following a thorough – but hassle free – adoption process, we connect our dogs with loving, responsible, and committed permanent homes. Every dog is fully vetted and altered, micro-chipped, and vaccinated prior to finalization of adoption.Our commitment to our dogs goes beyond the adoption process, as we stress the importance of responsible pet ownership, and we educate our fosters, adopters, and community on what they can do to help dogs in need.

Meet Grandma Nubs

When we read through Grandma Nub’s story at the @nycacc and saw her soulful eyes, we knew we had to help her. She was found tied to a bench in New York City, and upon intake had to have a surgery for an open Pyometra and her spay. Shelter staff fell in love with Grandma right away and pleaded for her to go into a rescue and foster home. This senior sweetheart, affectionately known as Grandma Nubs, is everything you’d want in a companion.When it’s time for a walk Grandma Nubs does her happy dance! She adores the simple pleasures of being petted and loved by her human friends, getting treats, playing fetch and going on walks (and she’s great on a leash), though she gets excited when seeing other dogs! She’s got gentle manners, is housebroken, crate trained  and is a quick learner — so she’s very easy to have in the home! 11 Year Old, 70lb Grandma Nubs is a resilient pup who deserves the world.
