Rescue Ridge is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a safe haven for animals in need, making a difference in the lives of pets and their families. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals, bringing joy and companionship to those who adopt them, and creating a new best friend for life.
At Rescue Ridge, we believe that every animal deserves a loving home, and we work tirelessly to make that a reality, one adoption at a time. Our team is passionate about animal welfare, and we strive to provide the highest level of care and support for the animals in our shelter, using the best tools and supplies available.
By adopting from Rescue Ridge, you are not only gaining a new pet but also supporting our mission to make a difference in the world, one animal at a time. Every adoption opens up a kennel, creating space for another rescue animal. We are grateful for the support of our community, and we rely on donations and volunteers to continue our work, helping us to create a better world for animals.
Our shelter is a place where animals can feel safe and loved, and where they can wait for their forever home, surrounded by people who care. At Rescue Ridge, we believe that adoption is a powerful way to make a difference in the lives of animals, and we encourage everyone to consider adopting a pet from our shelter and to learn more about our adoption process. The adoption process often includes a greeting from an adoption counselor when arriving at a humane center, ensuring a smooth and welcoming experience. If counselors are busy, visitors can add their names to a wait list to ensure they receive assistance when looking to adopt a pet.
In a world where thousands of animals are waiting for their forever homes, sometimes all it takes is a beautiful photo to help them find their new best friend. At Rescue Ridge, we’ve witnessed firsthand how professional pet portraits can speak volumes about an animal’s personality and help potential adopters fall in love before they even meet.
Choosing the right elements for custom pet portraits is crucial as it reflects the pet's individuality and can make a significant impact on adoption decisions. Our recent fundraiser combining pet portraits with animal rescue has been an incredible journey of compassion and creativity. As this special campaign comes to a close, we want to share our gratitude and highlight the difference you’ve made.
A pet photo does more than capture a moment—it tells a story. For shelter dogs and cats, these portraits can be the difference between being overlooked and finding a loving family. Professional photography brings out their unique personalities, helping potential adopters see beyond kennel bars to the loyal friend waiting inside. Check out the available animals for adoption and find your new best friend today.
Each week, we’ve seen how these photos create connections. A shy dog suddenly looks soulful and wise. A playful cat’s spirit shines through. These portraits help potential adopters see the unique charm of each cat. These images matter more than you might think.
The mission behind our fundraiser was simple: use the power of pet portraits to support the animals at Rescue Ridge who need homes, care, and supplies. With your help, we’ve been able to:
Provide essential supplies for sheltered animals
Fund medical care for pets in need
Support adoption events across the community
Create professional portraits that help animals find homes faster
Get started by participating in the fundraiser and make a difference today.
There’s no greater gift than finding a forever home. For every portrait session purchased through our fundraiser, you’ve helped an animal come closer to that reality. The funds raised directly support our adoption programs, making it possible for more families to find their perfect pet match. Adopted dogs must have a leash and collar for the ride home, ensuring their safety and comfort as they transition to their new family. Adoption fees can fluctuate depending on various factors like the age of the animal and any special promotions available during the year.
We’re grateful to everyone who chose to participate—you’ve given a gift that extends far beyond a beautiful portrait. You’ve given hope. Crown & Paw transforms adorable pet faces into stunning custom pet portraits, making each piece a unique celebration of the bond between pets and their families.
What makes our pet portraits special isn't just the quality of the photos—it's the personalization. Our team takes time to learn about each pet, capturing their unique spirit and personality. Whether it's your dog's signature head tilt or your cat's mysterious gaze, we bring these characteristics to life.
And when we apply these same techniques to shelter animals, the results are transformative. Potential adopters can see themselves in the story of each pet, imagining how that animal might fit into their family. You can find pets of all types and personalities awaiting adoption at humane centers, each with their own unique charm and story.
