House Rabbit Society is an international, nonprofit animal welfare organization based in Richmond, California. Our mission has two parts: Through our fostering program, volunteers help rescue abandoned rabbits and find permanent adoptive homes for them. Through education, we seek to reduce the number of unwanted rabbits — and to improve bunnies’ lives — by helping people better understand these often misunderstood companion animals. In line with our mission, we are against the exploitation of rabbits. Since HRS was founded in 1988, over 30,000 rabbits have been rescued through our foster homes across the United States. Many of these bunnies had run out of time at animal shelters and were scheduled for euthanasia; others had been deemed “unadoptable” because of age, health, or disposition. Because there is no time limit on our rescued rabbits, HRS foster parents are able to spend time getting to know each individual bunny and can then match him or her with an appropriate home. We neuter/spay all incoming rabbits, obtain any necessary veterinary care, and attend to their social needs. In caring for so many diverse bunnies, our organization has learned a tremendous amount about their social, behavioral, and medical requirements. By sharing the collected information these rabbits have taught us, we are able to help other people improve their relationships with their rabbits. HRS provides educational materials to veterinarians and humane societies and helps individual rabbit people solve behavior and health problems, primarily through our web site, rabbit.org, and our quarterly publication, House Rabbit Journal. Over the past 20 years, HRS has grown from 300 to more than 8,000 members, with local chapters and educators in 37 states plus Canada, Italy, Hong Kong, Australia, Greece, Japan and Singapore. Our web site, rabbit.org, is accessed over 100,000 times a day by people in dozens of countries around the world.

2nd Chance Animal Rescue is about giving animals a second chance at finding their forever homes. We promote spaying and neutering of all animals, that is why each one of our animals are up to date on shots, microchipped, and spayed/neutered before they are available for adoption. We are a not-for-profit animal rescue and we are supported by donations from the community. Our team continues to feverishly fight animal cruelty, homelessness, and sickness in Wayne County.

We are an all volunteer organization that started in 2001. We are focused on finding homes for the dogs who are often overlooked in the shelters. All of our dogs live with fosters prior to adopting, so we know how our dogs interact in the home, with pets and with people prior to moving to their new forever home.

Adopt Rescue Cats, Inc. is an all volunteer organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and adoption of abandoned animals from euthanizing shelters in the greater Richmond area and surrounding counties.

The Richmond SPCA is a non-profit, no-kill humane organization founded in 1891. We are dedicated to the simple principle that every life is precious. The Richmond SPCA is a national leader in humane care and education. We embrace the principles of the no-kill philosophy and are dedicated to providing uncompromising care for animals. The Richmond SPCA is not affiliated with any other private animal welfare organization or SPCA. However, because we regularly transfer pets from local municipal agencies into our care, we bring in more than 70 percent of our homeless pets from a variety of surrounding animal welfare organizations. The remaining 30 percent are composed of owner surrenders. In a single year, we save the lives of more than 3,000 orphaned dogs and cats. The Richmond SPCA operates the Clinic for Compassionate Care, a full-service veterinary clinic. We also offer a variety of services, including a behavior helpline, pet behavior classes, children's educational programs, a pet pantry, affordable wellness clinic, numerous volunteer programs, pet retention programs, feral cat resources and companionship programs.

We primarily fly homeless and neglected dogs from Taiwan to Vancouver, however we also adopt out local surrendered dogs. We educate people on the proper care and training of dogs, the importance of spay/neuter, and the responsibilities involved in caring for a pet. We do it because we love dogs to ensure they live a happy life.
