Why this fundraise campaign?

Fostering is one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had. Seeing a pup's personality completely change as they come out of their shell because they finally have a stable home, structure, food, and love, will never get old. All of this sets them up for success to be able to be adopted and live in their forever home.

However, there are a lot of animals that have needs (medical, boarding, training, etc), and this is a way to help support Joyrides Rescue's efforts in supporting their pups and cats. Including raising awareness for them.

Who do we help?

These funds will help support pups and cats like the ones below whom we've fostered:

Who am I?

My name is Andre, and I'm a former powerlifter who has now completed 2 marathons. I've been fostering since the start of the pandemic, and want to raise more awareness for Joyrides Rescue. I will be running the Mohawk Hudson River Marathon on October 8th 2023 in support of Joyrides Rescue, and this campaign will remain open until October 8th 2023 11:59 PM EST.

About Joyrides Rescue

Joyrides Rescue is a non-profit, all-volunteer group of animal lovers and animal advocates. Joyrides Rescue has observed an immense need in our communities to assist, rescue, foster, and provide medical care, shelter, and love for the unwanted, homeless, neglected and abused animals that live in the Greater Houston area and SE Texas. Our organization works tirelessly to help reduce the number of animals euthanized in shelters by saving as many as we can. We provide any and all medical care necessary, place them in a foster home (or boarding if a foster is not available), provide training to those who may need it and love them like our own until they are adopted.

Just the facts...

Joyrides Rescue is based in Houston, TX, but also has fosters in the NY & NJ area.
We are an all-volunteer organization - no salaries, no overhead.
We are just like you - we have full-time jobs, families, responsibilities.
We do not have a shelter - all of our pets are in foster homes or private boarding kennels.
We pull from local high-kill shelters and care for our adoptables until their forever family finds them.
We do not discriminate based on age, breed or health of any animal.
We are funded solely by our adoption fees, donations and our personal bank accounts.
