About Catskill Canine Rescue
Our Mission
At Catskill Canine Rescue, we are dedicated to helping dogs in our own backyard. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome local dogs in need, ensuring they receive the care and love they deserve while finding them the perfect forever homes.
Who We Are
We are a community-driven rescue committed to saving dogs right here in our region. We work with local shelters, animal control, and struggling pet owners to prevent dogs from being abandoned or euthanized. Our network of fosters and volunteers provides temporary care while we find each dog the right match.
What We Do
Rescue & Rehabilitation – We take in dogs from local shelters, owner surrenders, and emergency situations, ensuring they receive medical care and behavioral support.
Adoption – Our goal is to match each dog with a loving local home where they will thrive. We prioritize finding the best fit for both the dog and the adopter.
Why We Do It
Our focus is on the dogs in our own community—dogs who might otherwise be overlooked. By keeping our efforts local, we make a direct impact on the lives of dogs and families right here in the Catskills and surrounding vicinities. Every adoption strengthens our community and gives a deserving dog a second chance.
Join Us
Whether you adopt, foster, volunteer, or donate, your support makes all the difference. Together, we can give local dogs the futures they deserve.
