Paws of Love, Inc. is a new, community-driven initiative that is working not only to restore faith in animal welfare in Lawrence County, but to provide a beacon of hope for abandoned and neglected animals. This group of volunteers is passionate about filling the void left in our community when we found ourselves without a local animal rescue group. At Paws of Love, Inc., our mission is to promote the humane treatment of animals through shelter, adoption, transport, education, and advocacy. Would you like to help us? Please adopt! The building that we are using to shelter the animals left to us is in need of extensive repairs and renovations that can best be done in an empty building. As such, our biggest need is to find good, forever homes for the dogs in our care. If you have room in your heart and your home, adoptions are our most fervent wish right now. Sadly, until necessary building repairs can be made, we cannot accept any additional animals. We are only staffed by volunteers right now, with irregular hours, but if you would like to meet our precious dogs, please let us know, and we will make arrangements to meet you. Please give! We started Paws of Love, Inc. from scratch, so your monetary donations will be greatly appreciated as we care for animals and plan and budget for building repairs. Deposits can be made in our bank account at any BankPlus branch, donations can be made using our PayPal link in the post below, and checks can be mailed to Paws of Love, inc. at P.O. Box 416 Monticello, MS 39654. Paws of Love, Inc. was granted nonprofit recognition under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3), effective August 1, 2023.

Arcadia Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization dedicated to alleviating the suffering of abused and abandoned animals. At Arcadia, animals are valued and the human-animal bond is celebrated. Our vision is a modern-day “Arcadia” or Utopia for all animals. While we know this is an ambitious goal, it is one we will tirelessly strive for. No animal should be euthanized to save space, because it is unwanted, or because of the inconvenience of care.

We are a foster based rescue along the gulf coast who takes in the abandoned, abused, sick, stray, etc from shelters and individuals in the community. We vet the animals and get them healthy and then adopt out into an approved home through application, references and home visits.

Haven Animal Rescue Nebraska is where animals come first! We are a foster based all-volunteer rescue that is devoted to rescuing and re-homing abandoned, suffering, and homeless dogs and cats of all breeds. Haven Animal Rescue Nebraska provides loving homes, medical care, socialization, and rehabilitation until each animal’s forever home is found. We are dedicated to not just finding any adoptive home but the best fitting home for every individual animal and adoptive family.

At Hope for China Dogs, we are committed to combating the cruel and inhumane practice of the dog meat trade in China. We believe that every dog deserves to live a life free from pain and suffering, which is why we are dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating dogs who have been victims of this trade. Our mission is to provide a safe haven for these dogs, promote education and awareness around the dog meat trade, and advocate for its abolition. We work closely with our volunteers in China to rescue dogs from slaughterhouses, meat markets & trucks, and other dangerous situations, and bring them to immediate safety in China. From there we address any immediate medical needs, and begin the process of flying them to the US where we find their loving forever homes. Through our work, we save lives, end suffering, and bring happiness to dogs and humans. We ultimately hope to bring an end to the dog meat trade, and create a more compassionate world for all dogs and animals.

Pawsitive Connections Inc, is a no-kill, 501(c)3 nonprofit dog and cat rescue. We adopt out approximately 300 dogs per year in addition to permanently supporting non adoptable dogs who for either behavioral or medical reasons stay with the sanctuary. We feed a feral cat colony and adopt out a few litters a year. Based out of Kingsburg, CA, we travel on Saturdays from Kingsburs to hold adoption events in San Jose. The Central Valley is a hot spot for homeless pets and by traveling outside our immediate area we give them a better chance of getting adopted. We have made the trip nearly every Saturday for the last 10 years. Founded in the Spring of 2010, we provide the service of quarantining and/or fostering dogs while following appropriate vaccination schedules, as well as providing any other necessary medical care or treatment. All our animals are also micro chipped and spayed/neutered prior to adoption. As an independent rescue, we partner with Central Valley animal shelters. These shelters are often inundated with dogs, especially large breed adult dogs who have a higher risk of being euthanized due to lack of space in shelters. We are not breed or size specific and pull whatever we have room for, puppies to seniors. Presently, many of our large breed adult dogs we have pulled spend many months and sometimes even years with us due to lack of interest. Large breed adult dogs take more resources to support in general. In addition, we will take on the extra cost of pulling medical case dogs from shelters funds permitting. The shelters often cannot afford treatment and/or lack staff availability to provide the necessary round-the-clock care and lack space for the longer-term recovery time they would need. They would be at greater risk for euthanasia without this intervention from us. Shelters are also often not equipped to house young puppies. In a shelter environment, puppies are at high risk for catching parvo, distemper, and other potentially deadly viruses. We often will get a plea to help with puppies that are at the shelter, and we pick up usually within the day to lessen their exposure at the shelter. We also help the community directly by taking owner surrender dogs space permitting. Another direct impact program we have is the Last Litter Program where we work with individual owners that are having unwanted litters. As part of this program, we spay the mother dog, who remains with the original owner, and then we take in her puppies. If owners have other female dogs, we will often spay those dogs as well. After each dog is medically and behaviorally ready for adoption, we strive to place them in their best forever home.

Our president started as the Volunteer Rescue Coordinator at the Weatherford Parker County Animal Shelter, Weatherford, Tx. We recently started Weatherford Wags, a 501c3 non profit rescue. We are a foster-home based rescue, focused on saving urgent dogs at local shelters. We also attempt to help strays and unwanted dogs in order to keep them out of shelters and to get them into loving homes. We do not have a facility. To be effective in saving a dog's life, we depend on the community to step up and offer their homes to temporarily foster a dog until it's adopted or goes on transport to be adopted elsewhere. So many dogs that are at risk at the shelters are great dogs, that just need a chance to prove it, and not be euthanized for space at the shelter. We find foster homes for the dogs, provide needed medical attention, help with food, and then market the dogs. We then screen and approve potential adopters, and provide help with integrating a new dog into their home. We do it for the love of dogs, knowing that just because a dog happens to be in the shelter, it is not a bad dog.

WE are a no-kill shelter in northcentral rural PA. We are a small shelter, housing up to 10 dogs and 25 cats. We take in strays and surrendered animals.
