Rookie's Rescue was founded in memory of my beloved companion, Rookie.
Rookie's Rescue is a virtual shelter, meaning all of our pets live in loving foster homes, not a facility/shelter environment. The pets listed on this site live in a foster home located in TN, VA, NY or PA.
The pet you are interested in, may or may not be in your area, but transport is available and included in the adoption
**NOTE** At this time all available pets are in foster homes in TN - BUT transport is included in the adoption fee
Rookie's Rescue is committed to helping abandoned, neglected and abused pets finding loving homes and
educating the public about responsible pet ownership with a strong emphasis on spaying and neutering.
WHERE DO OUR PETS COME FROM?
Rookie' Rescue saves pets from over crowded shelters and animal control facilities, who due to lack of space and overwhelming volume are forced to euthanize thousands of healthy, adoptable pets each year. We will also accept pets from owners who can no longer care for their pet. When the animal enters our program, they undergo a complete health check from a local vet to make sure the pet is healthy. The pet is treated for any medical needs, is brought up to date on all vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. The pet is then socialized and assessed by our behaviorist. When the animal has been determined healthy and socialized, it is placed for adoption.
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.

Rookie's Rescue is a virtual shelter so there is no facility to visit. All of our available pets are in foster homes, most of them located in TN.
