Reviews
What adopters, fosters and clients say about the owner of NewFriendsRescue Inc.
"The owner personally drove our dog to us at 10pm the night we were approved. That level of care is rare — we felt supported through every step of the transition."
Maria S.
Adopter · Brooklyn
"First-time foster and I was nervous. The owner answered every text, brought supplies to my door, and matched me with the perfect dog for my apartment."
Devon P.
Foster · Queens
"You can tell this is personal for her. She followed up weeks after we brought Cooper home just to check in. He's the best dog we've ever had."
The Alvarez family
Adopter · Bronx
"Booked the Premium package for daily walks and the reports are so detailed. Knowing my money also helps rescue dogs makes it a no-brainer."
Jasmine R.
Dog-walking client · Manhattan
"One of the most reliable rescues we work with in NYC. Transparent, organized, and always thinking about the dog first."
Kevin T.
Partner rescue director
"She pulled our girl from an at-risk list hours before her time was up. We will never stop being grateful. Truly the heart of this rescue."
