Welcome to R&R Dog Rescue Fund!
Founded in 2021, our organization is driven by a deep passion for animal welfare and a personal journey that transformed our lives. It all began with a courageous rescue mission for our first dog, Maggie. We traveled to South Carolina to a shelter that had just experienced a devastating fire. Fortunately, the dedicated staff managed to save the dogs, but they had no safe place to care for them. When we arrived and met Maggie, we knew we had to bring her home.
Maggie not only captured our hearts but also opened our eyes to the urgent need for rescue and rehabilitation of dogs facing neglect and abandonment. As our family grew, we welcomed three additional dogs and three cats into our home, creating a lively pack of seven. Despite our home being beyond capacity, we felt a profound calling to extend our efforts beyond our own family and help even more animals find loving homes.
This unwavering commitment to animal welfare led us to establish R&R Dog Rescue Fund. Our mission is clear: to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs and other animals in need. We believe that every animal deserves a second chance at life and a loving forever home.
At R&R Dog Rescue Fund, we prioritize not only rescuing animals but also educating our community about compassion and responsible pet ownership. We aim to create a supportive network of advocates for animals, ensuring they receive the love and care they deserve.
Join us in our mission to make a difference in the lives of dogs and other animals. Together, we can create a world where every furry friend finds safety, love, and happiness.

Adoption Process
How To Adopt Animals
We help facilitate the adoption process through a variety of local rescues. It is a fairly simple and easy process but we will help you walk through it and find the perfect pet for you and your family.
01.
Find Your Pet
We will discuss what you are looking for in a pet. We’ll chat about your
preferences, experiences, and breeds.
02.
Application
Once we locate the perfect pet for you we will help you with the application process from the rescue. Each rescue has a different process for adoption.
03.
Adoption Fee
Some rescues have small fees for adoption which helps the rescue
ensure the dog has up to date medical care and also funds the rescues expenses. In certain cases of financial hardship we will assist with adoption expenses.
Our Team
Meet Our Team
I became passionate about animal rescue in 2021 when my then girlfriend and I rescued Maggie from a shelter in South Carolina. Prior to that I had no idea how many dogs were needing a loving forever home. I bought my first dog, a Frenchie named Cashew, from a breeder but having known then what I know now I would have adopted. My mission is to help improve the lives of animals through rescue and funding adoption fees, emergency medical procedures, and finding a home for every dog we can.

She has always had a profound love for animals, particularly cats, and her passion for their well-being drives her involvement in animal rescue. From a young age, she has nurtured a special bond with animals, often bringing joy and comfort to any cat that crossed her path. Her heartfelt commitment to ensuring that every animal experiences love and care led her to partner with Mike in founding R&R Dog Rescue Fund.
Alexandra Kneuer
My name is Erin and I am passionate about helping animals. Ever since I was a child I was always able to more easily connect with animals than people. I moved to a small island off the coast of Honduras in 2017 and began volunteering at their animal shelter. I rescued my first dog that same year and she became the most important thing to me. When she passed away I left the island and went to Colombia with a new rescue dog and quickly discovered that I am a magnet for helping animals. A little street dog chose me and Bobby (my new dog) to follow and we found a home for him and raised the funds to send him to Canada. Over the years I’ve fostered many dogs and felt like it was my calling to help animals who have had a rough start in life get their happy endings. My experience with Vicki inspired me the most to continue this journey.
