Redland Rock Pit Abandoned Dogs Project
Help Save Abandoned Pets in South Florida
HELP US SAVE THESE DOGS
Why We Need Your Help
We are a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to saving animals in the Redland Rock Pit area of South Florida.
Redland, Florida is known to many as the agricultural side of South Miami-Dade where residents tour the bordering Everglades for some beautiful wildlife scenery.
For animal lovers, however, it is a very different story. It is known as the “dumping ground” for unwanted pets. The reality is, many individuals drive to a secluded area, open the car door, throw out their unwanted pet and then drive off.
Many of these loyal and loving dogs will run after the car in an attempt to catch their owner’s vehicle until they become exhausted and can’t run any further, leaving them confused, disoriented and lost.
These domesticated house pets are left to fend for themselves. The ones that are not killed by traffic are often poisoned, injured or shot by local workers and residents who feel they don’t belong in their neighborhood. Many starve to death because this is an agricultural area and there are no resources for them to survive.
For many of them that remain on the truckyards and the farms seeking human companionship, their bodies become ravaged by mosquitos, parasites, disease, and most will eventually succumb to death unless rescued.

So sad. It's a never ending fight. You all are amazing. Thank you!
😢😢💔🙏
We would love a foster home.
Fostering isn't a lifetime commitment; its a commitment to helping a rescued dog get socialized back into a home environment so they can be successful for adoption. It is rewarding for you and so beneficial for them. Plus, it opens space for other abandoned dogs to be rescued.
The cost to you? A safe place and loving care. We pay for everything else. These dogs have been at our vet hospital and it would do wonders for them to have a foster home to go to.

Dante the handsome......
A quick update on this amazing dog. He has been given a clean bill of health from the vet! Dante gives the best kisses and likes being with people. He is coming out of his shell more and more every day and we are helping him to realize that he is secure and have confidence in that he will never feel that fear of abandonment again.
A foster home would be a great way for Dante to move forward in his new life. If you have a place for him to decompress from abandonment and remember what it means to live in a home and be apart of a family, you would be giving him an incredible gift. Please complete a foster application at redlandrockpit.org/adopt-or-foster/.

Our volunteers are beyond amazing!
Every day they are out feeding and watching out for discarded dogs -- their dedication to helping abandoned dogs is immeasurable and today, once again, they proved just how far they will go to give these poor dogs a better life.
Today they were successful in rescuing one of the feral mamas, and her five puppies, that we posted about a few days ago. They needed out of where they were and with patience and determination, our incredible volunteers accomplished what they set out to do. It is a new life for this little family, who have now been bathed and are safely settled in to the first comforts of their new lives and soon, will be going onto their new and happy tomorrows. Teamwork changes and saves lives.
Together we are making the world a better place for abandoned dogs.

Safe, comfortable and loved.
Mr. Bigg is all settled into his new home where life much more than he could have ever imagined. He has dog and goat friends -- yes, we said goats, and in fact, Mr. Bigg has designated himself as the baby goat nanny, happily keeping a close eye on the kids and loving on them when they are out of their pens.
This sweet, sensitive dog was found terrified and shivering under a semi trailer after he had been abandoned. His heart and spirit were broken -- he didn't know what to do, but that is all behind him. Mr. Bigg's life is now full of happy days, lots of love and comfy naps. (Oh and baby goats!) Just how it should be!

FOSTERS NEEDED. Rewarding for you; so beneficial for them.
All have a different back story that we will never know, but sadly their stories all ended the same: a human they loved and were loyal to, abandoned them.
For these dogs, they were rescued from a life-threatening situation, whether due to location or injury. They have been at our vet hospital but it time for them to move to the next step in their new future. Going to a foster home is so important because they can enjoy the comforts of being a pet again while being socialized back into a home environment, which helps with the success of their adoptions.
Fostering is such a rewarding experience -- plus it opens space for other abandoned dogs to be rescued, and the only costs are your care and love.
We pay for everything else -- food, bowls, crates, and medication, if needed. Please open your home and heart to one of these amazing dogs. redlandrockpit.org/foster-forms/
