WHO WE ARE
Our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly in the actions of our initiatives. From the moment we started our work in 1985, as Fuzzie Rescues in Brooklyn and then LI NY, we understood that by working together we could overcome our challenges much more efficiently, and that is why we ultimately decided to launch Soulful Warrior Rescue & Training in Rochester NY. We moved to Macedon NY and created SWR Stay and Play to offer boarding and daycare in 2024.
GROOMING IN 2025. We strive to make a positive change in all of our animal pursuits INCLUDING ADVOCATING, EDUCATION & OUTREACH
In Brooklyn NY as a kid, we lived in an area where people dumped their dogs. Jo Cahill would earn their trust and train them & adopt them out at age 16. Her love of animals led her to pursuit a career as a Vet tech and Assistant. She volunteered at local animal shelters and worked with her family as a rescuer. She raised her family and her children also ran a Ferret & reptile rescue in LI NY for 6 yrs. She went to school to learn all aspects of training. She still to this day works with several other trainers, shelters and AC...
Chris Cahill rescued and rehomed cats thruout his life. This couple's love of animals brought them together to open Soulful Warrior Rescue & Training in Rochester NY.
We now have opened SWR Stay & Play an all in 1 Animal Facility.
Boarding, Training, Grooming, Gift Shop, Doggie Day Care and finally, a Private Dog Park (to be opened in the spring 2025), where you and your dog can be in its own place to run off leash, play and be safe.
We will have a pet pantry to help the community, adoption & fundraising events with other local rescues and shelters. We are looking forward to be part of educational programs.
We strongly believe that rescues should work together.
In the future we will offer low cost spay/neuter/vaccine clinics and grants. We have a heartworm grant called Mae's Mission. We are offering HW preventatives to low income pet owners.
We believe in giving back to the community. Our mission is simply to help dogs that need loving homes that fits their needs, rehabbing those that need it, train those needing training and seeking medical when needed.

She passed from HW
UPDATE: Unfortunately Mae did not make it through HW fast kill treatment, She passed in our arms today 12/14/23 at 3 AM. We are devastated. She was a true Warrior and fought thru being abused, starved and 2 blockages.
full of parasites and nails overgrown. Emaciated to 25 lbs. WE are collecting funds in her name to help other dogs going thru HW treatment in form of a grant. If you like to donate mark as Mae's Mission.
062823 She was lethargic and scared, She couldnt walk but 2 to 3 steps before collapsing. She was untrusting, barking, growling, was forced to eat tin foil a pair of gloves, styrofoam and anything else she could find in the streets. It took us 2.5 days to gain her trust. We brought her to ER vet for an IV and deworming. We then called Animal Control where she finished her Stray hold. We took custody of her July 5th 2023. We fed her our emaciation diet with good healthy organ meats and supplements so she can gain weight slowly and become healthy. We brought her to our Vet. She had xrays, blood work, vaccines... we found her to be HW pos Heavy load. Due to her weight being an issue we started slow HW treatment. She is now 61 lbs. yeah shes a little chubby now, lol. Blood work came back normal and perfect. We are now doing quik kill HW treatment as recommended by our vet. She will be spayed when she beats HW. She will be trained and adopted out in the next few months. This gal been thru alot. She beat death 3 times. Our goal for her is her being healthy, trained spayed and adopted into a loving family. We will always fight for dogs like Mae.
