Underdog Rescue and Placement was founded in 2000 by Shannon McKenzie. Having volunteered for several other animal rescue organizations, Shannon saw a need to help the dogs and cats often overlooked by other rescuers, the “Underdogs” Our very first rescues included a pair of black kittens named Fenway & Wrigley, a pitbull puppy named Lucy and a tiny Toy Poodle named Lily (who was suffering from a head injury). No other rescue groups would take Fenway or Wrigley because black kittens are often overlooked by potential adopters, and, up until the time we rescued Lucy, rescue groups had not been allowed to rescue any dog considered to be a “Pit Bull” from Minneapolis Animal Control. While in law school, Shannon McKenzie had the “anti-pitbull” policy changed, with the assistance of Attorney, Marshall Tannick. Underdog Rescue continues to successfully rescue and place pitbulls and other “bully-breeds” through a continued partnership with Minneapolis Animal Control. Shannon’s dedication to the Underdog also extends to puppy mill survivors. Dogs that survive life in a puppy mill often come with a different set of challenges. They may require additional medical care, socialization and teaching of basic dog skills even though some may be adults. Our volunteers understand this and welcome these pets into their homes to show them what life as a dog and life with kind humans is like.

We are a small no-kill cat rescue.

Island Cat Resources & Adoption (ICRA) is an all volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit humane organization in the Alameda-Oakland area dedicated to reducing the suffering of the mistreated, abandoned, and feral (wild) cat populations and to educating and empowering the local community to aid in their plight. Since its establishment in 1994, ICRA has found homes for over 2,500 cats through our adoption program, spayed or neutered over 11,300, and assisted in getting many hundreds more off the streets and into "no kill" community shelters. ICRA is a small group with limited resources. We owe our accomplishments solely to the hard work and compassion of a dedicated corps of volunteers and supporters who share a passionate concern for the health and welfare of the overwhelmingly large population of abused and unwanted cats in our community.

To serve citizens in a professional and efficient manner by enforcing applicable animal laws and providing beneficial services while furnishing humane assistance to the animal population.

I am a veterinarian that started a 501c3 to rescue injured and sick animals, give them the necessary treatment, spay or neuter, vaccinate, AVID chip and then adopt out to loving homes

We are a animal control agency serving the animals of Yolo County. The agency coordinates rescues and adoptions with the goal of saving as many animals as possible.

Adopt-a-Kitty is an all species/breed caregiver to lost, homeless, and unwanted pets that are in need, locally and in nearby surrounding areas, concentrating mainly on cats and kittens. We accept “special needs” pets as well, when in need. In the last 5 years, we have placed hundreds of animals, a good portion pulled from high kill shelters. Our mission in life is to love, care for, and PLACE animals who haven't been given a chance. All pets are tested, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, etc. prior to adoption. We provide a safe place for our rescued pets to stay until a forever family can be found. We are a no kill shelter.

Black Cat Rescue is a No Kill cat rescue organization in Massachusetts. Our all-volunteer network of foster homes is dedicated to saving the lives of homeless black cats and kittens by providing quality foster care while actively seeking loving, permanent adoptive homes. As an organization, we work to improve the public image of both black cats and animal adoption by making black cat adoption a positive experience for all involved. We fully embrace the tenets of the No Kill movement. Our foster cats come from all over Massachusetts. We accept owner surrenders as well as strays directly off the streets or from local shelters and rescue organizations.
