Ryan's Rescues: Celebrating Adopted Pets & Supporting Animal Rescue

This page of "Ryan’s Rescues" is a very special kind of tribute to Ryan, a devoted animal lover who knew the joy and reward of finding and adopting his own rescue, his dog Booker. In his honor, the RCH 22 Foundation supports Hoof Woof & Meow, a non-profit animal rescue based in Elgin, Illinois. Here we share happy news of Ryan's Rescues: pets who found new families with the Foundation's direct involvement and support--either by our financial support to the rescue or by our direct efforts to source a new forever family for the pet.

Meet Canelita & Her Forever Family

Canelita’s story began as part of a Christmastime litter. She is a sweet, warm pup, inspiring her new adopted family to choose her name, which means "little cinnamon" in Spanish (her big sister is studying in Spain!). Her adoption day was a celebration of family and love.

How You Can Help More Pets

Every rescue's journey depends on community support. The RCH 22 Foundation is proud to give funding and a voice to support our friends at Hoof Woof & Meow.

It's easy for you to help, too:
