The not-for-profit animal rescue organization, Rescue Dogs Rock NYC (RDRNYC) will host their 2nd annual gala on Tuesday, October 22nd, 2019 at 6:00 PM, at 583 Park Avenue, New York City. The cocktail and dinner reception gala will raise funds and awareness to help animals in need, and will be co-chaired by Georgina Bloomberg and Lara Trump. The event will be produced by Robin Lathrop of By Robin.

Rescue Dogs Rock NYC’s goal is to raise awareness of the ever-growing plight of homeless animals in the United States, in shelters as well as those abandoned in the streets. There are way too many fantastic animals that are euthanized every day just because they are homeless. Rescue Dogs Rock NYC introduces these animals to the public and educates them that unwanted companion animals are not damaged goods or unworthy, but can be fostered into wonderful family pets. Sadly, the abuse, neglect, cruelty and medical cases cost shelters the most money, and often are the first animals to euthanized.

The mission of Rescue Dogs Rock NYC is the rescue of these animals and provide them with immediate emergency care, medical or otherwise, they need and deserve. Besides medical treatments, the animals are rehabilitated through trainers and behavior specialists to help overcome past trauma. The organization does not have a physical shelter, and relies on a network of volunteers, fosters and adopters to welcome these animals into their homes and provides them with a nurturing and caring environment.
