Riverview Rescues is a donation-funded non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming cats and dogs in need. We do not receive any government funding, and we are foster based.

 

We understand that people make the decision to surrender for a variety of reasons.  Our primary mission is to help animals that have no voice and cannot advocate for themselves - this includes strays, ferals, abandoned or injured animals, mill survivors, and northern cats and dogs. While we do accept owner surrenders, it is not our main focus.  Unlike stray or neglected animals, pets with owners already have someone who can advocate for them.

 

As a pet owner, you are your animal’s voice. If you’ve committed to an animal forever and you can no longer care for them, it is your responsibility to ensure they find the loving and safe home they deserve, even if that home is no longer with you.  We expect that those who have filled out a surrender request form continue to explore all options available to them, including reaching out to other rescues and shelters.
