Riverside Animal Rescue

Animal rescue group Kingdom Animal Shelter is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) certified, limited access organization with all volunteers. Our goal is to make it easier to find secure, permanent homes for rescued, abandoned, mistreated, or neglected animals. Every animal in our care has inherent value, and we recognize that value and work to stop overpopulation and animal abuse.

Through sheltering and caring for lost and unwanted animals, spaying and neutering, placing animals in humane environments, and implementing programs to provide services for the promotion of responsible pet ownership, our mission is to improve the welfare of the animals in Orleans and Essex Counties.

An independent, non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization, CVHS receives no money from the federal or state governments. The Humane Society of the United States and the ASPCA are not linked with us. Individual contributions, small fees for some services, regional businesses, fundraising activities, grants, and other sources totally support us.

In November 2007, Justice for Dogs was established. Our founder, Amy Touchette, saw that the prospects for dogs who didn't make it into the typical shelters were bleak. Even the more difficult to adopt animals, she thought every dog deserved a shot at a loving home. All of them could find wonderful homes with love and care, and many years later, we have been very successful in doing just that.
