Every animal that comes to Rescue Ridge has a story. Our mission is to make sure that every story ends happily Rescue Ridge is a non-profit, no-kill animal rescue group. Based locally at the Jersey Shore, 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. All of us at Rescue Ridge have a special place in our hearts for homele …

This is a group for dog owners of all breeds, many of whom may face discrimination based on breed, disability. size, or reactivity: the “Underdogs”.

Greyhound Meetup There are so few organized social groups for rescued greyhounds and their owners in NJ. That is why I wanted to start this group. Greyhounds can socialize with each other in relaxed environments such as beaches, parks, or other appropriate venues. I think rescued greyhounds should interact with other greyhounds as often as possible. I take my greyhound out to beaches and parks often, but I rarely see other greyhounds in the parks and on the beaches. …

I decided to start this group because I moved to the area about 10 years ago and have had difficulty meeting people with the same interests. Or most of my friends from the area are married with children and if it isnt the spouse it's the kids that deter my friends from going out. So...I would like to see varied activities so we can gather a large group and maybe diversify the interests I am about to mention. How about a sushi night or a karaoke night or a night with both if we can find a venue. …
