Domestic Short Hair

The purpose of the Rutherford County Humane Society is to strengthen and protect the relationship between humans and companion animals and to foster the welfare of the dog and cat population of Rutherford County. Our number one goal is to promote and assist in spay/neuter to prevent the births and subsequent euthanasia of hundreds of unwanted animals. We also aim to prevent cruelty and abuse by active Humane Education. The Rutherford County Humane Society was founded and obtained tax-exempt,501(C)(3) status in 1976, with the present chapter operating since 1993. We are licensed by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture to operate a small adoption center that can house only cats. Presently there are 22 active volunteers and 98 supporting members in our group. We have a seven member Board of Directors who serve for three-year periods and a slate of officers who are elected on a yearly basis.

Adopt A Stray is a foster care program. We do not have a shelter and all the pets have lived in our homes. We guide the public to low cost sterilization to prevent the number one cause of death which is overpopulation. We are dedicated volunteers who are passionate about the lives we save.

Our Mission is to help the Unwanted, Abandoned, Abused and Sick animals in our local counties. We fulfill this mission by working closely with County Animal Control Facilities, saving those who are in imminent danger of euthanasia, or those with needs which require specialized vet care that many other groups will not consider: major orthopedic issues, heartworm positive treatment, skin conditions, neglect and abuse Adopting a Friend: Dogs: Our standard adoption fee is $299. Each dog that MM adopts out to a Furever home has the following basic vetting: • Spay or Neuter Surgery • Vaccinations up to date according to age (Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, Bordetella) • De-Worming • Microchip • Heartworm Testing (1 yr & older) we pay for treatment for any HW+ animal after adoption at our own vet Cats: Our adoption fee is $175 for cats and kittens. Each cat that MM adopts out to a Furever home has the following basic vetting: • Spay or Neuter Surgery • Vaccinations up to date according to age (Rabies, FVRCP) • De-Worming • Combo-Tested (FeLV/FIV) The first step in the adoption process is to submit an application through our website, www.mostlymutts.org. You may also call our phone line, 770-272-6888 or email adopt@mostlymutts.org with specific questions about any of our adoptable animals. We do require an interview, references and a contract. Must be 21 or over to adopt. Our Adoption process is very thorough...MM prides itself in making every effort to place each animal in the right home.

Rescue Angels is a 100% not for profit, volunteer and foster home based cat rescue. We have a network of foster homes located within and across the GTA, Markham, Mississauga and Hamilton. Our volunteers open their homes to stray, abandoned and feral cats, as well as those who are at risk of euthanasia in local high-kill facilities until the right Forever Home is found. Rescue Angels actively participates with the Trap, Neuter and Return (TNR) program. We maintain and manage colonies to ensure that food, water and shelter is always available. We also provide additional and emergency vet care when required. Rescue Angels is a dedicated group that works with the public to rescue cats and promote individual responsibility for animal welfare. The 3 of us have been doing this individually on a personal basis, taking in strays, vetting them and then adopting them over the last 10 years, but have decided to come to together to be able to save more cats. Me love cats and feel all should be given a second chance for a loving "furever" home.
