Rescue Pit

Whoops! We’re having technical difficulties! Please refrain from applying for grants through our website or contacting us through our main email until we post that we’ve fixed them. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Our final 2025 recipient of our Emergency Medical Community Fund actually ended up being THREE recipients! Cardi was brought into Rochester Emergency Veterinary Services having extreme difficulty giving birth. With the help of funds generously supplied by our donors, we were able to save not just Cardi's life, but also that of her two adorable puppies, a little boy and a little girl! We will be following up with the help of another local rescue to ensure these precious babies are fully vaccinated, spayed and neutered. What a way to end our first full year focusing on community support as our new mission. We hope to help even more dogs in 2026 so please share the word about our various grants: https://rescuepit.org/available-community-grants/

Thanks to our Rochester Community Animal Clinic Medical Fund we were able to help beloved boy Lincoln with additional costs associated with his neuter last month!

We know the holidays can be stressful, especially financially. We also know that our pets don't usually choose the easiest times to get sick or injured. Please remember during this holiday season that our Emergency Medical Community Fund is available to all those who qualify financially. This grant is NOT pit bull specific and may be used for any breed of dog. The goal of this fund is to provide financial assistance for emergency vet care to families in need. We do our best to answer applications as quickly as possible: https://rescuepit.org/support/rescue-pit-community-fund/

Our second Thankful Thursday goes out to our wonderful trainers at Dog Educated! We are deeply grateful to have such capable, educated, kind hearted trainers available in Rochester, with a wealth of knowledge and compassion for owned and rescue dogs alike! We have teamed up with them to offer our Humane Training and Home Retention Sponsorship Program which helps sponsor much needed training to keep dogs that may have otherwise been surrendered for behavior concerns in their loving homes. We even sometimes extend our assistance to help pups in other rescues get the training they need, like adoptable Ghost in the up and coming Champ’s Pittie Network!
