Some of the newest Rescue Village dogs are here! Six of them are from the Trumbull County Dog Warden & Kennel, and four are from the Mahoning County Dog Warden. Once they receive the medical care they need (vet checkups, spay/neuter, etc.) they will be ready for adoption! ❤️

We first met 12-year-old Murray in 2022 when he was surrendered to Rescue Village by a family in a medical crisis who could no longer care for him. The family tried to rehome him independently but were unsuccessful, so Rescue Village lent a helping hand. Being so cute and loving, he was quickly adopted, but the solution to Murray’s forever home would prove elusive.

Will you make an end-of-year gift to help animals like Murray? Visit https://give.rescuevillage.org/Default.aspx?tsid=32133 to donate.

The first warning that Murray’s journey was not complete arrived a year and a half after his adoption when he was found running as a stray. After his stray hold was up at a county dog shelter, he was transferred back to Rescue Village, where his owner eventually found him.

In October, an abuse complaint was made by a state agency that is a mandatory reporter of animal abuse. A humane officer seized Murray from his home due to the illegal and inhumane living conditions Murray was forced to live in. Murray’s owner didn’t show up to court, so 15-year-old Murray once again became a Rescue Village resident.

The medical team examined him and found that he had extreme dental disease and would need 12 teeth removed as soon as possible. He was also treated for Lyme Disease. After his full recovery, this spunky, playful, and friendly 15-year-old was once again put up for adoption. After several weeks, he was adopted.

Murray had quite a bumpy road the past few years after losing two families in his golden years. But thanks to caring donors, Rescue Village was there to help. Will you make a gift before midnight on 12/31 to help more animals like Murray?

Time is running out this year for Rescue Village to meet the $150,000 year-end goal, and your gift of any amount to help animals like Murray will make a difference. And, if you give today, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar up to $80,000!! Visit https://give.rescuevillage.org/Default.aspx?tsid=32133 to donate.

Rescue Village is VERY MERRY today! We had some incredible adoptions this weekend.😀❤ Since Friday, 14 cats and 13 dogs got a new home for the holidays, including Malcolm, a dog that went to the farmers' market on Saturday! Senior pup Murray finally got a home, and so did Lay-O after waiting over 105 days at the shelter.

On top of all that amazing news, a very generous couple Tom & Laura Krus stopped by to make a donation and by the time they left they ended up sponsoring the adoption fees for 14 dogs and 6 barn animals, in addition to their donation. 🤩WOW, we are blown away, thank you both!! This is the second time Laura has come to the rescue! She was our Friday the 13th angel a couple of months ago when she sponsored the adoption fees of all the available dogs on the adoption floor!

Rescue Village is so grateful and honored by the outpouring of support for the animals all year long, and especially during the holidays.

Rescue Village is a private nonprofit humane society that provides medical care and housing for homeless animals and is considered a no-kill shelter. We are not a government agency, we receive no taxpayer support, and perhaps most importantly, we are not involved in the decisions elected officials make regarding the operations of government services, including the Geauga County Dog Warden’s Office.

We always seek to have a strong relationship with Geauga County agencies and we stand ready to support our county government, our Sheriff’s Office and the dog warden, as we do with other Ohio counties. Whatever the county decides, we will always work with partners to ensure that dogs are well taken care of until they find permanent homes.

Lovely, laid-back Lauren has been waiting patiently for a new home for about 2 months now. She came to Rescue Village from a local cat rescue that had no more space. Lauren is very calm in the shelter environment and loves getting attention. She doesn't really care to play, but she would be the perfect lap cat!

At 7 years old, Lauren is on a special diet that will need to continue in her new home. Stop in to meet Lauren or visit www.rescuevillage.org/adopt for more information. Rescue Village is open Wed-Thursday from 12-6:30 pm and Fri-Sunday from 12-4pm.

🌷Sweet Alana is waiting to meet you🌷
Alana is a 3 year old terrier mix that came to us from another rescue. She does great with other dogs in playgroups, but we are unsure how she will be with cats. She seeks attention and loves to snuggle, and she is eligible for a free, four-week, online training scholarship from Goodpup to help with her transition to her new home.

Because Alana is such a lovebug, a kind donor has sponsored her adoption fee in hopes it will inspire someone to make her a part of their family❤. Stop in to meet Alana or visit www.rescuevillage.org/adopt to learn more. Please share and help us find Alana the perfect home!

Milkdud, the adoptable steer is getting adopted!

Milkdud is going home tomorrow! He came to Rescue Village underweight, from a nearby Humane Society’s humane case that we helped with. This video is one of several times I ran to one end of the paddock to the other to play with this beloved, social steer. This guy loves dogs and people, and the best part is he will have other barn animals to live with at his new adoptive home.

⭐️Meet Skylar⭐️ our poster pup for the #EmbraceCLE Challenge! She's been waiting for a home far too long, despite how she tries to make passers-by notice her by greeting them with a toy in her mouth to increase the cuteness factor!😀❤ Affectionate and playful, 6 year old Skyler balances her silly antics with cozy cuddle sessions making her the ideal partner for both fun and relaxation. She is 50 pounds of pure love! Visit www.rescuevillage.org/adopt to learn more about Skylar. If you can't adopt, please consider donating to the #EmbraceCLE Community Challenge today at https://givebutter.com/RescueVillage2024 and help us compete -- the nonprofit that raises the most is eligible for a grand prize of $15,000, so let's go Team RV!

All These Faces, All These Souls
All These Faces, All These Souls

Have you watched Rescue Village's 2024 Rescue Video, "All These Faces, All These Souls," yet? This inspiring video captures what Rescue Village does for animals and their people daily, 365 days a year. We hope you like it and will share it widely. A special thank you goes to the Newbury Volunteer Fire Department's Chief Ken Fagan and Lt. Jeremy Sustar, Matt Wintz, Stephanie Sybrandt, and their family, including Atticus, Steve Tosi, and Harley, for participating in Rescue Village's work and in this video. Also, thanks to the director of photography, Andrew Starr, and all the RV staff who worked to make this video.

Squirrel came from one of hardest places imaginable. RVs humane officers saved this petite cat, along with 7 other cats, from a house full of toxic fumes, feces and fleas. He’s doing so much better since his rescue and now he needs someone to adopt him.

Guess what’s behind the curtain? These shy youngsters have learned that people = getting food. #mysterypets #RescueVillage #humanesociety #rescueanimals #smallcritters #foodtime #squeak #peep

Every day is a good day to bring home a new best friend for your dog! We have so many social dogs currently at the shelter waiting to go home. Come meet Florida (brown/black), Jolly (white), or one of our other playful companions ❤🥰 Open 12pm-4pm Saturday and Sunday. rescuevillage.org/adopt

It’s 2024 and Rescue Village’s Cat Pavilion is full again! Thanks to everyone who helped clear our shelter last year and for all the amazing donations. www.rescuevilllage.org

What an amazing month of adoptions at Rescue Village. All the adult cats have been adopted all at once! Wow!
