Looking Glass Animal Rescue (LGAR) is a non-profit, volunteer-based animal welfare organization dedicated to rescuing animals from high-kill shelters, hoarding situations, puppy mills, animal fighting rings and more. While we welcome all animals in need, we specifically focus on animals that are often overlooked due to age, breed, special need or an illness or injury requiring immediate, often costly medical attention that shelters are unable to provide. Without a rescue outlet, these animals would otherwise be euthanized due to their issues. Hundreds of animals are euthanized every year due to overpopulation, irresponsibility and sadly, cost. This is particularly true with animals who suffer medical ailments, many of which are treatable yet they are often deemed œ"unadoptable" and withheld from public view. These animals in particular suffer the worst fate because they sit in pain and fear with no hope of ever being given a second chance at life. Because of this, we have developed a special focus within our rescue to save as many of these animals as we can. Veterinary expenses alone can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the severity of the condition, which is often unknown at the time of pull. Yet, in spite of these costs, our mission for every animal we pull into our rescue is to provide the most advanced medical and pain management treatments possible in an effort to ensure the best possible outcomes for these previously neglected and broken animals. In addition to treating their acute medical needs, every animal rescued will be spayed/neutered, if they are not already, and vaccinated and microchipped as soon as possible in an effort to give them the best opportunity for a healthy, happy life. When people do decide to foster an animal or adopt from us, they should expect the animal will remain well and not pass disease to their resident pets. Lastly, for each animal that we place, we provide extensive education on how to transition the animal into their new life. Basics like crate training, housetraining, obedience training, and the best ways to introduce resident pets are integral for the success of the relationship. When necessary we will also engage professional trainers for those animals that need specific behavior modification in an effort to help our animals and their new family position themselves for success. Mental health is as important as physical health and we believe that every animal should be given the chance to lead a life free of fear and anxiety. Like psychologists, professional trainers are often the only ones equipped to transition an abused animal from the life that once "was" to the life that "could be". Our goal is to ensure that all of our animals become a cherished and welcomed member of their new family for the remainder of their lives. By working with a network of volunteer advocates, foster caregivers called Adoption Ambassadors, local veterinarians, trainers and shelters, LGAR is hoping to be able to rescue hundreds of animals every year. We also serve as a resource to our community by providing information on pet ownership, including resources for spay/neuter, positive behavior training, nutrition and veterinary care. We believe that no animal should be mistreated and are working toward the day when no companion animal is euthanized for lack of a home.

Camp Chaos Puppy Rescue is a small foster based puppy rescue that saves animals from rural and local high kill shelters. We specialize in the care and rescue of pregnant mothers and litters of puppies. We are not equipt to take in or care for adult dogs, especially large breeds, other than the pregnant females and mothers of the puppies in our care. On rare occasion our organization will take in other puppies and dogs in need based on foster home availability. Our goal is to place homeless pets in the best home possible and to see to it that they are spayed/neutered to eliminate their ability to add to the over population of unwanted and homeless pets. Our adoption fee is $280, which helps cover the cost of their spay/neuter, microchip, deworming, fecal testing, veterinary health exam, heartworm testing and age appropriate vaccinations (distemper/parvo combo, bordetella, rabies).

Wags and Whiskers Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit all breed, NO KILL, animal rescue organization, incorporated in August 2015. We are a 100% volunteer driven group with a number years experience with animals and rescue. Our mission is to rescue, foster, rehabilitate and rehome, abandoned, abused and unwanted animals in Willows and Chico, California.

The mission of Bluebonnet Animal Rescue is to improve the lives of abandoned, unwanted, or injured domestic animals, including family pets and farm animals. We don't limit our intake to any breed or size, but we focus on farm-friendly dogs, including livestock guardian breeds such as Great Pyrenees, Akbash, and Anatolian Shepherd.

Our Maxim: Saving Lives and Building Families Pets Return Home (PRH) provides life-saving support for dogs. Our four operations support one goal: eliminating unnecessary euthanasia. Annually, 27 million pets are separated from their families unexpectedly. Five million of these animals never return to their owners, resulting in $6 billion in lost pet recovery expenses each year. Our Animal Search and Rescue Team program reduces the lost pet problem and the broken hearts of over 70 million Americans each year. Daily, thousands of dogs, including pregnant dogs, die in animal control facilities due to incorrect behavior assessments or lack of access to behavior modification training. Our Board & Train program provides a lifesaving and family-building alternative to this problem. Many pets are euthanized instead of receiving expensive medical treatment or long-term recovery care. Our Convalescence Care program enables families to afford and provide the care for their loved pets. Thousands of pets die each year because of family inexperience, neglect or abuse. Our Training programs provide the necessary training, which enables the family to provide a safe environment for their dog. Volunteering with us increases awareness, educates everyone within the volunteer’s sphere of influence, provides care for the animals and reduces costs.

Grand Strand Golden Retriever Rescue (GSGRR) is a group of volunteers located in the Myrtle Beach area of South Carolina dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of Golden Retrievers into the best homes possible to ensure their loving care for as long as they live. Our volunteers have been rescuing Goldens for more than 20 years and are truly in love with this wonderfully goofy breed! As soon as a Golden comes into our program, it is taken to the vet for a physical examination and all of its medical needs are met. The Golden is then placed in a warm and loving foster home, where it will remain until a permanent home is found. During this time the foster family is able to assess the Golden's personality, which is necessary in determining the perfect "furever" match for both dog and family. Before adoption, the Golden will be vaccinated, altered, tested and treated for heartworms and microchipped. Anyone wishing to adopt one of our Goldens must complete an application and home visit. We will verify the care of your current or previous pets with your veterinarian, and ensure that any pets in your home have been altered. Our volunteers are committed to our Goldens and to the humane treatment of all animals. We work to promote responsible pet ownership within the community through the advocacy of spay/neuter education.

We want to give dogs a second chance at a happy life. We take dogs without a family, foster them and find them new, forever homes where we hope they will live happily for the rest of their lives.

Our organization is a pet food pantry who assists those in the community feed their pets and prevent them from being dumped at a shelter or having to get rid of them due to financial hardships. In addition, we take in pregnant moms and babies who have been dumped and care for them from birth through adoption. I do the things I do, to give back to those in the community needing assistance. The fostering I do because I love watching the moms and puppies grow up healthy and happy.
