My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi my name is Roxie! They say I’m a 1 year old bully mix. This nice lady found me tied to a tree and asked to take me home. She found a family to foster me, but they let me run buck wild around the house and I even learned to leap on top of the table. That nice lady came to take me to the vet for all my shots, microchip and spay. She said I needed to learn some manners. Apparently “table and counter surfing isn’t allowed. She crate trained me and I’m doing well with house training. I have a load of energy and loves to play with larger dogs. She said I play to rough with the small ones. I love to run, play, eat and sleep! I really need a family of my own and one where I will be shown what is expected of me. I promise I’ll love you forever.
We also use the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport.

Additional adoption info
All our rescues work hard to find loving homes for the dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies that find their way into their care. These animals come from a wide variety of backgrounds and situations and all of them are looking for a forever home.
They will be completely vaccinated, vetted, neutered/spayed (if age appropriate) and on heartworm protection. All of them come with complete medical records. They are transported to you with our USDA licensed and certified transport – Rescue Riders LLC, “The most animal-friendly transport on the road.”
Their adoption fees vary but, in all cases, it covers the animals vetting, vaccinations, spay/neuter as well as their foster care, and their transportation to your area.
Thank you for opening your home to a rescue animal.
ADOPT, DON'T SHOP.

Go meet their pets
Our rescues generally do not have an actual shelter building in the Chicago area. This means it is often not possible to meet these babies prior to their adoption however all of these rescues have been rehoming dogs to the north for many years and are happy to offer you references who can fill you in on their experience and how well the process works.
There is generally a money-back guarantee and a mechanism for returning the dog to the rescue if needed. All these rescues then work to re-home the animal. None are returned to a shelter. We never leave a rescue behind!

More about this rescue
Rescue Riders Cooperative is a group of rescues across the southeast that are linked together by our love of animals and our desire to see as many as possible in the loving arms of a new family. Each rescue is independently run but realizing that there is strength in numbers, we have formed a cooperative to work together to place as many animals as possible.
Not only do the rescues save these animals and give them badly needed health care but they also work tirelessly in their home communities to help educate people regarding the importance of spay & neuter and how it reduces pet overpopulation.
When you adopt one of their dogs you help with this mission. We all thank you for that support and for opening your home and heart to an animal who needs you. You are a hero!
