Hello! My name is Renee and I have always loved animals dearly. My first pet was actually a duck we saved from slaughter. I was 4 years old, so I am not sure you could call it my pet. I love animals, and you can always find me following the animals around at parties. I am that person. I always have been. My first actual pet was a cat named Sam, or Sammie. He is the name sake of this rescue, and this rescue embodies the spirit of who he was. He loved kittens and always bonded to at least one. Even if he was a crabby old man, the kittens brought out the young man in him and always brightened his world. He was an extraordinary cat who everyone loved. He was my best friend, and honestly, my protector. He was my emotional support animal and was there when I needed him, most times before I even knew that I needed him. He was so in tune with me that he would care for and comfort me when I was sick or in pain. He was unlike any other. I started this rescue in his name, due to his love and my love of kittens and cats in need. Especially kittens and young cats. I focus heavily on adoptable cats caught through TNR that otherwise would be breeding and left outside, when they can be brought inside and adopted. They are a simple resolution to a complex issue. The more adoptable cats I can get off the streets and altered, the better. Another special mission of mine is pregnant mom cats and kittens found outside. I find them the most vulnerable, and they hold a special place in my heart. This season, I recently delivered my first litter of kittens, and I find it to be my most proud accomplishment. It was not an uncomplicated delivery or litter early on. They all had their issues, and so did the delivery and mom cat. Everyone is happy and healthy now, and finally ready for adoption, but I am so proud of how far they have all come. I try to go back to colonies and TNR where cats came from to reduce population growth, or at least let other larger organizations I work with know about them so that they can be helped. I believe in closing that loop, so all cats are helped and no one is left behind. As a small rescue, sometimes it is hard to do, alone.

11th Hour K9 Rescue Rehab Rehome is a non-profit organization committed to providing dogs in desperate situations with a final chance at a permanent home. We specialize in rehabilitating dogs with challenging behavior issues most shelters and rescues do not have the resources or expertise to manage. For many, we are the last hope.

Our organization is committed to helping to clear shelters, taking owner surrenders, helping when we can for someone to keep their dog with financial assistance, training, food, medical etc. We do what we do because of "Gunter" . Gunter was a stray when he was taken in he had many aggression issues. Had he been surrendered to a shelter he would have likely been euthanized. We hope one day there will be no need for shelters until then we will rescue from shelters the unadoptables and provide them with the love and training they need until they find permanent homes.

We provide shelter for animals who are lost, abandoned or are given up by families no longer able to care for them. We offer a second chance to adoptable animals and place them in loving, permanent homes.
