My story

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

She was dropped off at the shelter by a homeless man who we think was the owner of the dog but he said she wasn't his that he found her and decided to turn her in because he had no way of helping her.
She is a Yorkie and she is about 10 years old. She is deaf but can see really well. She also has some hair loss on her backside from a bad flea infestation that has since been taken care of by the vet. Some of the hair is coming back but the vet says he doubts that it will all come back but some of it has.

She is good with dogs, cats and kids. She is up to date on all shots, spayed and housebroken. She just needs someone to love her and take care of her. She has a lot of love to give to the right family. We have named her Little Bit. She came in but didn't have a name so we thought that Little Bit would be good for now.

Little Bit is being fostered in TN but we use the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport. The transport fee is included in the price.

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 New England 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 East 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 south east 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!
