Rescue Dogs Rock is a not for profit animal rescue founded in 2015. We exist solely on donations and will rely primarily on fundraising to help animals in need. Our mission is to raise awareness of the ever growing plight of homeless animals in this country, both in shelters and those dumped on our streets. Way too many amazing animals are euthanized every single day simply because they are homeless. We want to introduce these animals to the public and educate people that unwanted companion animals are not damaged goods or unworthy, but really can be great family pets. Because the abuse, neglect, cruelty and medical cases cost shelters the most money and are the most urgent, they are often the first animals euthanized. It is our goal to focus on the rescue of these urgent animals and provide them immediately the routine, emergency or specialized medical care they need and deserve. We will go beyond just vet care and get these animals rehabilitated as needed using trainers and behaviorists to help overcome issues related to past trauma. It is our belief that no injured or abused animal should lose its life simply due to lack of funds. We do not have our own shelter, and we will rely on volunteers, fosters and adopters to take the animals into their homes and provide them with proper care and nurturing. All of our animals will be vaccinated, heartworm tested, micro-chipped and altered. All of our homes, foster or adopter, will be fully screened, including references and vet check, an interview with the applicant and a home visit to ensure the home is the right fit for the animal. Our outreach and education efforts will take place online via Facebook, web site and other social media as well as in person in the community via community events, school assemblies and any place people may lawfully gather to exchange information and learn. Our message is one teaching general animal care and welfare, population control through spay and neuter and disease control in the animal population via proper vaccinations.

About Lila

Distance: 354 Miles

Lila is a beautiful 3-5 yr old Lab/Vizsla mix weighing in at 54 lbs! This girl spent a majority of her young life on her own fending for herself without much socialization. Lila is learning to trust humans. She is an absolute treasure!! Sweet disposition, shy and very well behaved. Crate trained/ house trained beautiful manners. Lila MUST have another dog in the family. She is playful and happiest with canine companions. She truly is a pack dog and gains confidence surrounded by others. Good with all sizes, breeds. Lila has bonded with her foster sister Missy and would do well if they could be adopted together. She needs to have a very patient owner who will allow her to take her time building trust and seeking out affection on her own terms. She is a very low maintenance dog. Must have a fenced backyard. She loves to play with other dogs and she loves her crate for her quiet time and her own space. Lila has been spayed. I f you would like to learn more about Lila and are interested in adopting her, please put your application in here: http://www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org RDR's adoption fees include the cost of spay/neuter/microchip at an RDR-approved facility, whether completed before adoption or if deferred because the pet is too young or has a medical issue. All pets are also current on age-appropriate vaccines at the time of adoption. Given technical constraints on this database, this pet's location may not be as listed here. We can, however, provide transport support for pets in foster at a considerable distance from the adopter.
