Our little Junebug came from Operation Freedom Ride (see photo). About Operation Freedom Ride: Founded in 2018, Operation Freedom Ride is a nonprofit animal rescue based in Rochester, NY, dedicated to saving the lives of dogs and cats in need. Our mission is rooted in a heartbreaking reality: every year, 2.7 million adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized in the United States. We are committed to helping these loving animals find the right person to care for and cherish them.
