"Rico helps so many animals. Animals that have been turned away, or nobody else will take, they somehow find a way. They are such an amazing organization and I have seen over and over how much they do to make sure everyone is happy, healthy and safe!"

"This rescue works day and night to help dogs and cats in need. The volunteers are some of the most compassionate people I've met. They help families find lost dogs, save starving puppies, and even give dog food to those in need."

"During COVID, it was very hard to get appointments with the vet. So when one of our farm dogs got pregnant I contacted one of rico's volunteers and because of her generosity, the puppies were promised to a rescue before they were even born. These are some of the hardest working animal volunteers that i've ever known. They give so much of their time and their own money, blood, sweat and tears. They deserve so much recognition for what they do."

"Our dogs from Rico have been such amazing dogs. We have adopted 2. Our family decided to foster puppies and we had such an amazing experience we have not stopped . Rico has been so helpful and amazing at getting the dogs vetted and placed in loving homes. The work that Rico does to help people recover lost pets is remarkable. It is such an honor to volunteer with so many great individual foster/rescuers."

"I have fostered close to 30 dogs now for Rico and I adopted the first dog I fostered. Rico serves an economically depressed area in Southern Ohio. They rescue dogs that are literally thrown out with the trash or from moving cars, dumped in alleys or in the woods, or tied outside to die. Dogs are vetted and placed in loving foster homes before being adopted. The folks at Rico are all volunteers and are truly miracle workers!"
