Find Adoptable Dogs and Cats in Monmouth County and Ocean County, NJ.

Rescue Ridge is a 'last-chance' rescue. Staffed 100% through the efforts and donations of volunteers, we find homes for animals that other shelters and people have given up on. Through the kindness of various boarding kennels and foster families, rescued animals are cared for until they find that final family to love them. We are located in Monmouth County and in Ocean County, New Jersey.

Rescue Ridge began by rescuing healthy, beautiful, animals that were slated to be euthanized through no fault of their own. We felt it was unfair, that because their 'humans' had no more use for them, their days were numbered. We have tried to give each and every one of these companions a new lease on life. We rescued dogs, cats, horses and any other animal that we were able to help with our limited resources. And since we have limited space, we are always searching for those willing to help foster these wonderful creatures. We are always happy to provide information on options available to anyone needing to re-home their pet for whatever reason. It is our belief that education regarding pet ownership and its responsibilities is the best hope these companions have. You will have unending rewards when you give a second chance to one of these wonderful friends. They truly are the champions of giving unconditional love.

We are located in various foster homes and in kennels throughout Monmouth County and Ocean County New Jersey.

We generally do not adopt our dogs or cats out of state but in some cases will consider adopting out in a nearby state, that is if we feel the animal will do well in the home.

In order to be considered as a new furbaby parent/ family we ask that you fill out an application at rescueridge.com. Please make sure that you receive a confirmation before you text and say you have submitted an application.

If you are looking to adopt a puppy or a kitten, they are generally in a foster home. Please be respectful of the foster's time and allow 48 hours for a reply. If you do not hear from us by then, although we appreciate your interest, your application did not appear to be a good match for that particular dog or cat. This does not mean you would not be accepted as a future adopter just that your lifestyle may not be what this particular dog or cat needs.

When you text, please always include your name and phone number. This makes it so much easier for us to forward to the foster parent.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting a courtesy posted animal, please follow the post instructions on whom to contact.
