Please note that sponsorship of a dog is not related to the adoption process - if you are interested in adopting, please visit our adoption page and follow the process.

If you would like to make a donation in memory of/honor of someone (whether a human or animal), your donation will assist us in our mission of rescuing the “underdog” and will help a future RDR pup find a loving family. You will receive an acknowledgment of your gift via email or letter.

We remember these women, who we lost too early.
