Rutherford Rescue Ranch, Inc Dog rescue in Pittsburgh, PA

Our Mission:
To provide shelter, food, medical attention, and LOVE for homeless or abandoned animals. Unlike a traditional shelter setting, our animals awaiting families are given the most amount of time they need to adapt to a new, loving environment.
RRR specifically serves dogs in need of re-homing due to family financial difficulties, unforeseen owner medical situations, or owner housing changes. Our goal is to keep family pets out of shelters and find them new families without the stress of a traditional kennel environment.
