Red Leash Rescue (RLR) is a not for profit rescue corporation with 501(c)3 status. We work with Animal Controls across Fairfield County and surrounding communities to build a strong Foster Team Network that provides safe refuge, love and care to discarded Adult/Senior dogs, until successfully re-homed. Our dogs will be up to date on vaccines, neutered, and microchipped. Our long term goal is to complement our foster network with a RLR Foster Home for Adult/Senior dogs, enabling more dogs to be removed from the shelter environment, and if unable to get adoted, living the rest of their lives in a home setting cherished and cared for

We rescue and rehome dogs (primarily) from local hi-kill shelters. We focus on but are not limited to special needs animals (deaf, blind, otherwise disabled and seniors). We provide foster homes to start and provide whatever it takes (rehab, medical, training etc) to make sure the animal never ever goes back into the shelter system. We are available to our adopters for the life of the animal, should they need assistance.
