SNARR Northeast was started in 2011 and is run by Courtney Bellew. In 2019, we opened up a physical adoption center in Brewster, NY. We are based out of New York but geography does not stop us when it comes to rescuing!

SNARR saves the toughest dogs to place; those with serious medical conditions, deaf and blind dogs, severely emaciated dogs, the animals that nobody else wants; the dogs that would otherwise be euthanized. We also save perfectly healthy animals as well...there are countless lives and innocent beings who need our help.

Courtney Bellew, of Westchester County, NY visited the Manhattan Animal Care & Control Shelter and came across a special dog named Frankie, a deaf Pit Bull. There was just something about him, the look in his eyes, his calm nature…something that made her say: "I need to help THIS dog!” With a full house of her own dogs, Courtney began posting on Facebook for a rescue group to step up and legally take responsibility of Frankie while her and her husband fostered him. After volunteering for a few months, Courtney realized she had truly found her passion and SNARR Northeast was born. Unfortunately, after 10 happy and spoiled years of being part of the Bellew family, Frankie crossed the rainbow bridge on 12/5/2021.

We rely solely on donations as a 501c3 non-profit.
