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.

Our primary mission is to help animals that have no voice to advocate for themselves—this includes strays, ferals, abandoned or injured animals, mill rescues, 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 and ensure they find appropriate placements. Some individuals are surprised when we do not take in their surrendered pets, but our priority remains helping those who have no one else.  If you are struggling with pet ownership, for whatever reason and we do not message you back- please reach out to other rescues and rehoming sites.

 

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 home they deserve, even if that home is no longer with you. If this is something you're unable to do, or you do not own the animals you are reaching out about, please indicate this in your surrender form.
