The Reach Team
Over 5,600 Dogs Rescued
Our Mission
Reach Rescue rescues dogs and cats that are stray, abandoned, relinquished, abused, neglected, or have run out of time at public shelters and scheduled to be euthanized as a result of overpopulation. Reach attempts at all times to bring animals and their people together. The organization is committed to promoting the rescue, adoption, and public education necessary to ensure that all animals passing through our care REACH a stable, healthy and happy life.
*Rescue data accurate as of July 2024
Since 2011, our team of passionate volunteers are the sole reason we have rescued over 5,600 dogs by placing them into our network of trusted foster families. As a 100% volunteer run organization, we rely on the dedication of people just like you.
Below, meet our hands-on, 100% volunteer Board of Directors, Managers and Coordinators who make sure Reach Rescue not only runs and operates, but also continues our mission — rescuing dogs!
