Sprinkles - Rogers' Rescues

Rogers’ Rescues is a network of dog rescue volunteers spread from New Jersey to Southeastern Pennsylvania.

Our volunteers commit their free time to helping place homeless dogs into loving adoptive homes. The majority of our foster dogs originally come from shelters in the South. All the Rogers’ Rescues foster dogs currently live as members of the family with foster home volunteers. This foster care environment better enables us to evaluate the dogs in real life situations and provide more information to potential adopters.

Our thorough adoption process is key to finding the best dog to match you and your lifestyle.

Carol Erickson, CBS 3/CW Philly meteorologist, animal activist and now accomplished author, recently published her first children’s book Not A Used Dog, At All.

Not A Used Dog, At All encourages adoption of shelter dogs and explains the reasons for it in ways a young reader can understand. Complete with an expanded discussion section for parents and educators, the children’s book is designed for the 4 to 8 year-old group. The book shares the story through the eyes of a young boy named Matt. He only wants a fluffy pet store puppy, not a ‘used’ dog from the shelter. When he reluctantly meets a shelter dog, he learns some truths about adopted dogs, store-bought puppies, and the difference a kid can make in the world.

All profits from book sales will be sent to animal rescue and shelter groups.

Clyde, Dachshund - Burlington County Animal Alliance

Burlington County Animal Alliance is a private, independent, 501(3)(c) nonprofit animal advocacy group, that was founded in 1999. To date, we have around 60 members of BCAA. We focus primarily on rescue and adoption of shelter dogs and cats from Burlington County and surrounding areas. Our main focus is to make the public aware of the numbers of homeless dogs and cats there are in shelters and to promote adoption of these animals. We advocate spaying and neutering of all companion animals to counteract the overpopulation of dogs and cats and to end the tragedy of euthanizing healthy, unwanted companion pets.

Dog Adoption is a Better Option

Dogs are the perfect companion for senior citizens.  Many seniors are leading active lifestyles and would adopt a dog.  Rescue groups/shelters should reach out to our senior communities.  Organizations, senior citizens and homeless dogs can all benefit from this approach.  Volunteer to help make a difference in the lives of  dogs and senior citizens.

Peach - Pit Bull - Noah's Arks Rescue

This sweet adorable six month old pit was picked up and brought to DeKalb County Animal Control with a huge abscess on her neck from what appears to be bite marks from a dog fight.  She was scheduled to be euthanized when we stepped up for her.  She has had a drain put in her neck to allow the fluids to drain and is being treated for the infection, spayed and brought up to date on all of her vaccinations.  She is HW negative.  She is just one more sweet little pup that was in the wrong place at the wrong time with no one to look after her.  She loves everyone and is great playing with other dogs.  She will make a wonderful family pet because she gets along so well with everyone.  She is a beautiful pup that will grow into a beautiful dog with Peach Pit markings.
