”I had the pleasure of fostering six wonderful pups. Rescue City supplied me with everything the pups needed. It makes my heart full to know they have two wonderful furever families. Can’t wait to meet my next two this weekend. If you can please foster/adopt it is the best feeling knowing you saved a life.

”We just adopted our sweet dog, Hudson from Rescue City...The whole process was wonderful and we are so happy with our boy. He is filling a space in our heart since losing Sunflower. Stella has been a TREMENDOUS asset while we adjust to new puppy life. Rescue City is thorough, kind, and considerate. We couldn’t be luckier or more appreciative !!

”THANK YOU RESCUE CITY! For everything you do. We were able to join the foster program and it was an amazing experience. Great communication, super organized. We decided we were ready to adopt and joined the foster to adopt program — absolutely fell in love with our pup, we are so forever grateful for the experience with Rescue City! Dogs are angels and I am so happy this organization exists in NY.
