Help Red Hook Dog Rescue save more animals in 2024

END OF THE YEAR FUNDRAISER!

It’s the end of the year (yay!) For our hearts and souls it has been a good year. But not for our bank account. Please donate!

We have helped and are still helping some pretty special dogs and cats land in the very best places!

Bailey (who ran through two NYC tunnels) and big sweet Bruce are our ongoing projects. We've learned so much from them and have lots of information for sharing and teaching. Yes, we do pick some tough cases!

We have been able to help some folks re-home their animals, keeping them out of the shelter system.

Miracles too: originally 96 lbs and blind, spaniel Jake is now 60-ish lbs and a comfort to many small dogs in the daycare where his adopter works. Prior to that, he helped his first foster recover from a difficult foster experience. He just leaves a trail of calmness where ever he goes... and a tennis ball.

Gizmo is a not-so-tiny pom and owner surrender landed with a family that had suffered huge trauma. He immediately took on the role of support dog as if he had been born to do that. Sent from heaven, we all thought.

Stormy was a foster for someone who was planning to move back to Spain. Too tall to travel in cabin we thought we'd have to find him a local home. He made such a profound change in his foster's life that she took him home, and they both are thriving. We have many more heartwarming stories like this.

And finally, we have accumulated/rescued some humans whose pets need help (mostly medical). We try to help them when we can as we do with any of our adopters, forever.

We don't boast (or post enough) about our accomplishments. We don't take on many dogs each year. We just spend a lot of time with the ones we do, and their families, to make sure they are never ever homeless again. We love to do this. We don't like to ask for donations, but we desperately need them. No amount is too small. Monthly donations are even more appreciated. You can donate here, or see our links... checks can be dated Dec. 31 if sent in first few days of 2024.

We have wonderful fosters, but could use more, so if you can’t donate, and you’re within 90 minutes’ drive of NYC, please consider fostering! Our foster app is at https://bit.ly/RHDRfoster
