The Adams County Animal Shelter is a county run facility where we care for lost and homeless pets. We strive to provide a high quality of care for the pet animals in our facility, as well as providing a high degree of customer service to our patrons. We are committed to reuiniting pets with their owners, or finding homeless pets permanent homes.

We are the Marshall County Humane Society located in Holly Springs, MS, a non-profit organization made up of a very active and dedicated group of volunteers. Our goals are to educate people on responsible pet ownership and to reduce the homeless pet population through adoptions and encouraging spay/neuter.

Animal Friends of Lansdowne is an organization comprised of citizens who are passionate about animals and animal issues. We are concerned about the responsible management of our domestic and feral animals, and about making Lansdowne a safe haven for people and animals to live in harmony. To this end, we are committed to such issues as animal rescue and adoption, population control, health and sanitation, education and awareness, and, always, the humane treatment of all animals.

Community Animal Rescue Effort (C.A.R.E.™) is a 501c3 all volunteer organization that works to find homes for unwanted and abandoned animals, serves as an educational and counseling resource for communities on Chicago's North Shore and for current and prospective pet owners, and works to reduce pet overpopulation. We currently work out of Evanston's municipal animal shelter. Since our founding in 1987, C.A.R.E. has been responsible for the adoption of thousands of dogs and cats that would have otherwise been euthanized. C.A.R.E. provides medical treatment and conducts all adoptions for the shelter animals. Each day, the 100+ C.A.R.E. volunteers assume responsibility for total care of all Shelter animals. Each volunteer puts in anywhere from 3 to 30+ hours every week, both at the Shelter and in activities outside the Shelter, performing functions such as: - Walking Dogs - Exercising Cats - Cleaning cages and kennel areas - Bathing and grooming animals - Working with frightened, anti-social animals - Paying for veterinary care, inoculations, and vaccinations - Transporting animals to and from veterinary clinics - Working with veterinarians at the Shelter as part of a testing/inoculation program initiated by C.A.R.E. - Medicating animals as directed by veterinarians - Feeding & watering animals on evenings, weekends, and holidays - Washing bowls, toys, towels, bedding, etc. - Working with Evanston Animal Wardens as needed to comply with city rules & assure accreditation by the Department of Agriculture - Interviewing all potential adopters in-depth and then matching appropriate animals with adopters - Conducting all adoptions, filling out required paperwork, administrating follow-up program - Supplementing city food budget with volunteer funds to provide higher quality food for Shelter animals - Purchasing additional equipment not in city budget to maintain quality care for Shelter animals (including such things as cages, kennel fan, vaccine refrigerator, washing machine, clothes dryer, etc.) - Conducting on-going fund-raising to raise monies to cover all expenses - Conducting community out-reach programs to educate residents on responsible pet care Volunteers are frequently called upon to take animals into their homes and "foster" them in times of overcrowding at the Shelter and when animals need special care.
