What We Do
RDRS relies on supporters to provide quality care for animals and bring hope through our pet therapy programs. Your kindness ensures we continue creating connections that heal people and animals in need.
Your donations help us rescue animals, support veterans, and deliver life-changing services. Your generosity keeps our mission alive and transforms lives!
We give rescue dogs a second chance by training them as service dogs for soldiers injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. Each dog is lovingly named in honor of a fallen hero and carefully matched with a veteran, offering both a new beginning.
Teens in juvenile detention help train the dogs, creating a ripple of healing for all. Your support makes this life-changing work possible—please donate today.
RDRS brings hope and healing to three vulnerable groups: injured Iraq
and Afghanistan veterans, rescued dogs, and troubled teens in juvenile detention. By uniting these lives, we foster a unique connection that inspires growth, trust, and second chances.
Together, we create a powerful bond that transforms and saves lives. Your support can make this mission possible.
In this video, founder Liz Keller shares the incredible work being done at our Cherry Hill location—a sanctuary for rehabilitating NYC rescue dogs who have endured unimaginable trauma. From dogfighting survivors in the Bronx to abandoned pets, Rescue Dogs Rescue Soldiers provide a second chance for these animals. Partnering with NYC Animal Care and Control, local police, and the ASPCA, our team leverages over 40 years of experience to build trust and prepare these dogs for loving forever homes.
Our organization is facing a critical challenge. We've been targeted by unwarranted negative press from a bad actor trying to tarnish our good reputation recently. Meanwhile, the lives of our beloved dogs hang in the balance. We urgently need your support to keep our facility heated, clean, and stocked with food to ensure our animals remain alive and healthy. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a vital difference. Please help us continue to provide the care and love our dogs deserve. Together, we can overcome this difficult time and protect the animals who are depending on us. Thank You.

Remembering Our Fallen Soldiers
At Rescue Dogs, Rescue Soldiers, we train rescue dogs to become service dogs for soldiers injured in Iraq and Afghanistan, creating a life-changing bond that benefits both the veteran and the dog. Each dog is named in honor of a fallen soldier, a tribute to their sacrifice, and is carefully matched with a veteran to provide companionship, support, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Our training program also engages teens in a juvenile detention facility, offering them a meaningful opportunity to help prepare these dogs for their critical roles.
If you know a soldier who could benefit from a service dog, please reach out to us for more information and to apply. Your generous donations make it possible for us to provide care, training, and hope—one dog and one soldier at a time. Together, we are committed to serving those who have served.
