Mission : Our mission is to do what we can, for as many as we can and hopefully one day no longer be needed! Our Inspiration : Vega's New Leash on Life was founded because, and named after, a rescued Flat-Coat / Lab Retriever mix named Vega who came to be a part of our family when my boyfriend brought her with him to live with us. She fell quickly into the matriarchal role in our pack of pups at home. She was always by your side and happy to follow you around the house wagging her tail. She was one of the most loyal dogs I ever had the privilege to live with. She reminded me of my childhood dog, a black lab named Bianca. In August of 2012 I came home to work over lunch to find her being a bit lazy but wagging her tail nonetheless. In a few short but whirlwind hours she went from acting a bit ill to passing away at the vets office from an apparent unidentified tumor. At the age of 7 or 8 years old, she left us way too soon! After trying to settle into life without her in the pack of now 5 pups, we soon realized that her spot in the pack needed to be filled. There was no doubt that it needed to be filled by another rescue. After weeks of searching online I found a 4-5 month old puppy who appeared to be about the same breed and looked like an angel! We started the adoption process and within a few weeks were wrapped up in a world of rescues, shelters and transports. We made the 10+ hour drive to the shelter where she was being cared for in Bamberg, SC where we met an amazing man named Bob who devotes his time to helping the helpless. The shelter was a ram shackled place with about 40 dogs who had been abandoned or lost. Each and every one touched our hearts and we wished we could take them all home. While we were there to get her we helped to rescue two abandoned puppies from a culvert under the road. It was then that we knew that we had found our calling! Upon her arrival at her furever home… she was greeted by the other dogs with lots of sniffs and settled in quickly as the missing member of the pack. She fit like a glove! On our first walk that first night she led me by leash to our front yard and made a b-line to the tree where we had too recently buried our precious Vega. She walked slowly to her gravesite and bowed her head and “whisper-barked” and walked back toward the house. As if to say “it is okay, I will take care of them”! After spending an hour crying in disbelief, I knew she was exactly what we needed… and we were exactly what she needed! From that moment on we have been dedicated to do our best to not allow any other of man's best friends to go without all that they deserve! And here we are today.

We are a network of foster homes based in Bucks and Philadelphia counties. Throughout the year we participate in various adoption events to promote our group and find homes for our adoptable animals. Currently we use Facebook, Petfinder, Adopt a Pet, and our own website to post pictures and videos of our animals. We also promote TNR and will assist with trapping, neutering and release of feral cats. There is a huge problem in the US with pet overpopulation so we are trying to do our small part to rectify the problem.

We are a Trap, Neuter and Return group that recently opened a No-Kill, Free Roaming Cat Shelter. We found so many wonderful cats in the field we wanted to be able to provide them with adoption opportunities. We have TNR'd over 4,000 cats in the past five years.

The mission of the Humane Society of North Myrtle Beach is to find safe and permanent homes for abandoned animals, strive to reduce the overpopulation of dogs and cats and to help educate the community about pet responsibility. Core values:  To help ALL animals- Great and Small  To feed the starving, and give shelter to the homeless  To minister to the sick and ease the main of the injured ones  To tend to the weak and helpless, and make each one as safe and comfortable as possible for as long as they may be in our care  We will give them our time and loving attention and try to take the sadness and pain away from their frightened eyes  We will socialize them with other animals and help them to trust and interact with human beings  We will dedicate ourselves to finding loving and permanent homes for all in our care  We will sterilize every animal adopted from our shelter in an effort to decrease the overpopulation of unwanted animals  We will respect our furry friends and the community in which we serve and serve each one humanely and professionally.

We have been in business since 1978- non profit no kill shelter- I'm the board president and general manager and volunteer all my time

We are a small no-kill cat rescue.

MENDING SPIRITS is a non profit 501(c)(3) foster based animal rescue located in Mankato MN, that serves everyone. We are a team comprised of committed volunteers, foster homes, licensed veterinarians, trainers and educators. We are able to successfully rescue animals from animal impound, high kill facilities, owner surrenders, strays and puppy mills then place them into well-paired, permanent homes. We serve as a rescue for the community while we educate and advocate responsible pet ownership, over population control, spaying/neutering, behavioral management, training, proper preventative and maintenance care.

We are a group of individuals set out to help abandond or abused dogs left in shelts.

We are committed to rescue and find permanent homes for homeless cats. We were founded in 2008 and have been working very closely with our local shelter. Over the years we have rescued thousands of cats from that shelter and placed them in families as pets.

PFM has been formed by three people with over 30 years of rescue experience between them. We feel that there is a "hole" in current rescue/shelter efforts and we hope to be able to help fill that hole. One aim is to help people understand their animals by education of animal behaviors. Hopefully, that will reduce the number of animals being brought in to "shelters" in our area. We also intend to provide an online service where animals (who have been vetted by us) can be seen by potential adopters, whom we will vet the same way we do our own. Additionally, there are animals we come into contact with who need immediate rescuing. We are a foster-based organization (limited), and will intake the animal(s) as soon as a foster home has room. We follow strict protocol for vaccinations (distemper and rabies), testing (FeLV/FIV, heartworm, etc.), preventative (heartworm), spay/neuter, and microchips. All of the animals available for adoption through our foster homes is up to date on all vaccinations and tests. We spay/neuter our animals between 4 and 6 months if young, and as soon as we intake them if older. All of the members of PFM have previous fostering experience. We do this because, as our mission states, "Purr-Fect Match Animal Rescue is dedicated to the sanctity of all living things and their inherent right to a happy, healthy, and humane life." We hope to accomplish this one animal and one forever home at a time.
