My story

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

Some dogs just pull at your heartstrings. Some dogs teach us what inner strength and courage are all about. Some dogs just want to play and stay in the moment, one sniff of fresh air, one listening to the sounds of people laughing, birds chirping, wind blowing. Martin just wants to enjoy his life. Saved by Rescue Ridge from a local, overcrowded, inner city shelter, Martin awaits your love and his forever home in a foster home. He loves people! Martin is very smart and alert. He enjoys company . He is dog-friendly with dogs who understand that, because he is visually impaired, he doesn't always understand social cues and is a bit clumsy. Martin is best in a home with older children because he probably can only see shadows. This impairment doesn't stop him from enjoying running around the play yard at his foster home or snuggling on the couch by your side. He is affectionate and very sweet. If you put a treat in front of his face, he will try his best to take it gently but does not always succeed. He can't help it. He tries. Martin is housebroken. He needs a fenced in yard and needs supervision in the yard because he will follow a scent and can escape. He is a wonderful boy, around 5 yrs. old. Will you take him home and show him that his life matters? Please apply to adopt Martin in central N. J. at Rescue Ridge at rescueridge.com and text 732 546 8805 to meet him.

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.
