Mountain Dog

Our mission is "Giving Hope to the Hopeless." We save the toughest dogs to place; those with serious medical conditions, paralyzed dogs, deaf and blind dogs, severely emaciated dogs, dogs with neurological deficits & disease, dogs with injuries and orthopedic issues … the animals that nobody else wants; the dogs that would otherwise be euthanized.

“This is the first day of the rest of your life, and you will never have to worry again.” We want as many dogs as possible to hear those words. In 2017, the force of Hurricane Harvey showed us that we could – NEEDED – to do so much more to help so many sick, homeless, and abandoned dogs. We helped save 47 dogs just in that first mission. We have seen things that we cannot unsee. Our main focus is to help homeless, neglected or abused dogs find their way to a peaceful, loving home. The majority of our dogs come from the Deep South of Texas. This area is in complete crisis. You can look down any street and see 10 dogs, emaciated, dehydrated, tick and flea infested, injured, homeless, helpless, and innocent. Thousands of dogs just looking for a family. The local shelters are overrun, and dogs are just left to fend for themselves. We want more for them. We bring dogs back to Pennsylvania, show them lots of love, heal them, train them, and find them the best homes. So that’s how the name originated: the dogs would come to PA=Pennsylvania for a short time, a Pitstop along their journey to a forever home. PA Pitstop.

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.

We are an animal rescue who works with statewide organizations and individuals to place animals, primarily dogs, into homes.

Love & Second Chances was created in hopes to better connect the public with the rescue community. Our rescue is based out of Northern California (San Ramon, CA ) with a small division in Sacramento, CA. Our foster homes are scattered all around the bay area and within the Sacramento division. Our team consist of compassionate people who share the same goals of rescuing those who are voiceless and in need of a second chances at life. In the end, the feeling of knowing you have saved a life at the brink of death is priceless. We believe rescuing doesn’t only save the animals in need but people as well. Our hope is to show that a little TLC can go a long way! Together we can make a difference, let’s start today!

Ginger's Pet Rescue is a non-profit dedicated to finding forever homes with unwanted and homeless dogs. We save dogs from shelters or take pets from homes where they are no longer want them, and help them transition to a forever home through foster care if necessary! We believe every dog deserves a chance in a wonderful home.

Camp Papillon is a non-profit, no-kill 501c3 animal rescue group dedicated to giving all homeless animals a place to call home. All of our animals are currently housed in foster homes, we don't have an actual location for housing the animals we rescue. These foster families are made up of dedicated volunteers who open their homes to dogs, cats, rabbits and other animals that are in need of a place to live until they can be adopted. This allows the fosters to evaluate the animals and determine how they interact with people, other dogs, cats, etc. so we can place them in their forever homes. In some cases, the animals are ready for adoption upon entering our rescue. Others need some training or have behavioral issues that need to be addressed before we put them up for adoption. Many shelters would have euthanized dogs that they deem unadoptable, but not us. The foster situation is the best way to be sure these animals are well socialized with people and, most times, with other animals. Camp Papillon covers ALL the costs associated with fostering our animals from vet care to food, toys, treats, etc. Our fosters just supply the love and affection to the animals they take in.

The Grainger County Humane Society receives NO funding from our local government or other outside sources. The humane society exists on donations from private individuals and businesses, and volunteer effort. We DO NOT have an animal shelter or an Animal Control Officer at this time. All work is done by volunteers. A Spay/Neuter Clinic is our immediate goal. A Shelter/Adoption Facility and an Animal Control officer are part of our long term goals.
