Riverside Rescue

Compassion in Every Rescue

Riverside Animal Rescue is dedicated to providing care and support to dogs, cats, and small animals with a commitment to kindness and comfort. We believe every animal deserves a safe place to land, ensuring a brighter future for those who need us most.

Our History and Purpose

Founded in 2003, our organization was created to address the urgent need for a local animal shelter in the northeast regions of New Hampshire and Vermont. In 2005, we proudly earned our 501(c)(3) non-profit status, solidifying our mission to serve our community and its animals. Today, we continue to rely on the incredible support of our neighbors to sustain this vital service.

A Commitment to Care

As a dedicated no-kill shelter, we welcome all breeds of dogs and cats into our care with open arms. Our facility is a place of healing and transition where our team and volunteers work daily to ensure every pet remains happy, socialized, and comfortable. We operate as a community-driven organization, relying on generous donations and the hard work of our staff and volunteers to provide for our furry guests.

The Joy of Adoption

We are passionate about compassionate adoption services that focus on ensuring the perfect match between our animals and your family. We take the time to understand both the pet’s personality and your home environment to foster a lifelong, happy partnership. Adopting is more than just providing a home; it is starting a wonderful new chapter together.
