My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sebastian is one of those special saves at Rescue Ridge. He was left locked inside an abandoned Northern New Jersey apartment and nearly starved to death. Rescue Ridge stepped up to save him and nursed him back to health. As if that was not enough, Rescue Ridge again stepped in to help Sebastian to be the best dog that he can be by having him professionally trained on all basic on-leash commands. He is ready for a loving, forever home and would love an adult home with an experienced dog owner. Is that YOU? He is housebroken, good on a leash, and takes treats/toys gently. Sebastian would be best in an active home, someone who likes to walk or run or do a nice weekend hike. He wants to be the only pet in your home and will be a most loyal and loving boy. Here is Sebastian doing what he loves to do...play fetch! https://youtu.be/mGpDO-4KqWI At almost 4 yrs. old, Sebastian is the perfect age (and the perfect size 40 lbs.) for many homes. Please apply to adopt Sebastian at rescueridge.com and if your application is a possible match a volunteer will get back to you shortly. No inquiries, please, without an application.

Sebastian's adoption fee is $400.00. Sebastian comes with food, a collar, a leash, and some training lessons for the new parents.,

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Just contact us at rescueridgeshelter@gmail.com, or call us at 732-681-3450, and we will be happy to provide you with an adoption application and, upon review of personal reference checks, vet checks, and possibly home visits, you may be chosen as a permanent home for that special companion. Please note that filling out an application does NOT automatically approve anyone for a specific adoption. We want to assure that the companion and adoptive family are each going to benefit from the adoption, and that it is as permanent an adoption as possible. We ask for help through donations to help cover the costs associated with keeping the companions up-to-date on vaccinations and spay/neuter programs. We request a donation of $100 for cats, and $200 - $400 for dogs, depending on the specific rescue. We are a tax-exempt organization so that any donation you make to Rescue Ridge is tax deductible, and all costs go directly to all of the animals we rescue.

More about this rescue

Rescue Ridge is a 'last-chance' rescue. Staffed 100% through the efforts and donations of volunteers, we find homes for animals that other shelters and people have given up on. Through the kindness of various boarding kennels and foster families, rescued animals are cared for until they find that final family to love them.

Rescue Ridge began by rescuing healthy, beautiful, animals that were slated to be euthanized through no fault of their own. We felt it was unfair, that because their 'humans' had no more use for them, their days were numbered. We have tried to give each and every one of these companions a new lease on life. We rescued dogs, cats, horses and any other animal that we were able to help with our limited resources. And since we have limited space, we are always searching for those willing to help foster these wonderful creatures. We are always happy to provide information on options available to anyone needing to re-home their pet for whatever reason. It is our belief that education regarding pet ownership and its responsibilities is the best hope these companions have. You will have unending rewards when you give a second chance to one of these wonderful friends. They truly are the champions of giving unconditional love.

VOLUNTEER:

Volunteer dog walkers needed to walk our dogs. We also need volunteers to socialize our dogs. Must love dogs. Training will be provided. Our facility is located in Freehold, NJ. If you have a few hours a month to volunteer, please contact us at rescueridgeshelter@gmail.com.
