Who We Are
Founded in 2013 by Elyse Giurco, Road to Home Rescue Support was built on the belief that every animal deserves a safe, loving home. After years of volunteering with local shelters and rescues, Elyse saw firsthand how many animals were overlooked — seniors, medical cases, and those who simply needed extra time and care. Determined to make a difference, she started Road to Home not only to rescue and rehome animals, but also to support other rescues and serve the community.
Since then, we have rescued and rehomed over 1,600 dogs and cats, each one given the chance to heal, be loved, and find their forever family. Our rescue is powered entirely by dedicated volunteers who never hesitate to go the extra mile to help an animal in need.
What We Do
The mission of RTHRS Inc. Is to focus on animals in need and combine our efforts and experience with other rescue organizations, with a special emphasis on assisting those animals that are often overlooked by other rescue groups. This enables us to band together for a common goal and to keep the continued focus upon the animals in need. We fight for the old, sick, misunderstood and untouchable, regardless of breed or species.
Our missions is to focus on the following:
-
Providing a safe haven for animals that are typically overlooked by other rescue organizations, such as seniors, those with special needs and/or medical issues and those with behavioral issues that require rehabilitative work and training
-
Providing guidance and support for rehoming an animal
-
Providing help to people in the community whose animals are in need of food or medical attention
-
Providing any necessary medical attention, training, spay/neuter services and food/supplies to homeless animals.

-
Working with other groups and shelters to coordinate adoption events, food drives, and fundraisers. Raising money through various fundraising activities to help specific dogs with training, medical needs, food and supplies, boarding and adoption expenses
