Hello everyone! My name is Ice, and I’m sure you’ve seen me on here before. Sadly, I have been here 1,003 days. It’s very defeating, sitting here every day for 1,003 days watching other dogs leaving to go live their best lives and noticing that no one even comes to meet me. Sometimes, when new people do come see me, I bark like crazy (I’m getting better at it!), but I promise, it’s just because I’m super excited to know that someone wants to actually meet me! It doesn’t happen very often 😔 I can be super chill and mellow and I’m a total sweetheart! I love going on walks and I’m praying every, single night that I will get to go on a walk with my very own family soon!! Could it be you?
We are currently open Monday-Thursday by appointment only, and Fri, Sat, Sun from 1-5. Facebook comments and questions are NOT monitored. If you have questions or would like to schedule an appointment during the week, please email us at shpr88@yahoo.com. No calls please!!

More about this rescue
The mission of South Hills Pet Rescue is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs of all breeds, with all needs.
Our Story:
Nick Ferraro ran South Hills Pet Resort, a boarding and training facility, and purchased it in 2012. Ashley Rittle was having a hard time with her dog, and called Nick to request his training services. Little did they know the adventure ahead; they were married in June 2013, and that August, they were asked to help a local animal rescue that had been overwhelmed with dogs pulled from high-kill shelters set to be euthanized for behavioral issues. They agreed to take 13 dogs, but 62 dogs were dropped off at their door filling all of the Resort’s boarding kennels. Nick and Ashley cared for all 62 of these dogs in need, rehabilitating them before finding each dog a forever home. Ashley will tell you this is the moment they knew what they had to do. The plan was to dedicate ten of the Resort’s boarding kennels to dog rescue, but as we all know, plans often change.
Today, South Hills Pet Rescue (SHPR), an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, houses an average of 50 rescue dogs at all times. Apart from three part-time staff members who care for the dogs onsite, SHPR is run by volunteers. Your support of SHPR directly helps dogs in need!

Once a South Hills Pet Rescue dog, always a South Hills Pet Rescue dog: if an adoption doesn’t work out, the adopter is required to return the dog to SHPR per the adoption contract so that SHPR can work to find him or her a new home.
