Our Mission
We are in Rochester, NY and adopt to homes in the Rochester NY area. Foster home based, no shelter.
Our mission is helping dogs that are homeless, in public shelters where they are at risk of euthanasia, or given up by owners due to inability to properly care for the animal.
All dogs brought into our rescue are placed in an approved foster home where they will receive love, training and any needed veterinary care. We remain committed to all dogs in our rescue after they are adopted by requiring that, should it not work out, dogs are returned to us and never given away or placed in a shelter. We strive for the right home for each of our dogs through meetings, reference checks and home visits. New 2 U Rescues mission is homes that will be for the life of every dog adopted out.
We also endeavor to work with other shelters, rescues, and humane organizations to help create a safe and caring network to help dogs in need. Our group is committed to the care of dogs in our rescue and community. We help through our foster program and education of those we work with or come into contact with.
We are a 501c3 registered rescue and Registered with NY State Dept of Agriculture Reg No. 33
Adoption Policy
About Our Adoption Process
We are a foster‑based rescue — we do not have a shelter. All of our dogs live in loving foster homes so we can truly understand their needs, personalities, and what type of home will set them up for a lifetime of success. Our goal is always to make the best match between adopter and dog so they never have to be rehomed again.
We reserve the right to decline an adoption if we feel it is not the right fit for the dog.
No meet‑and‑greets will be scheduled without an approved application.

Location & Adoption Radius
We are based in Rochester, NY and primarily adopt to homes in this area because:
-A home visit is required before any adoption
-A meet‑and‑greet with the family and existing pets is required
These steps are easier and more realistic for local adopters
We may consider homes a few hours outside the area if all requirements are met and the match appears exceptional, but local applicants are always prioritized.
Fencing Requirements
Some of our dogs require a physical fence already in place at the time of adoption.
We do not accept invisible fencing and do not allow the use of e‑collars or shock‑based training tools. This is written into our adoption contract.
We do allow case‑by‑case exceptions for:
-Active families
-Homes where someone is home more often
-Homes without multiple dogs
-Families willing to install a zip line or similar safe containment option
-Small breeds and mellow adult dogs may not require fencing.
Veterinary Requirements
If your current pets are not up‑to‑date on vet care, including being spayed/neutered, we cannot approve your application.
This is non‑negotiable and will be verified with your veterinarian. We also require that you use preventative for Heartworms as it is far more common in area.
If you have an unaltered pet because you intend to breed, your application will be denied.
