Wilmington

We are an all volunteer group who's mission is to reduce the numbers of animals euthanized in our area shelters through aggressive adoption and spay/neuter programs. We partner with area shelters, to concentrate on the cats and dogs that have run out of time or have special needs. We move them to a safe haven with private citizens, strive to provide them with any veterinary care they need, and then we find them loving homes. Since 2004, over 11,000 of these previously unwanted animals found their forever homes through our safety net. When one of ours gets adopted, we go and get another.

All 4 Cats is a no-kill cat rescue and community outreach located in Wilmington, NC. We are an all-volunteer organization and our mission is saving and improving the lives of cats. Our primary focus is working with the community to rescue stray cats. We nurse the animals back to health, spay/neuter, socialize, and then we find them permanent and loving homes. When we are able, we also work with local animal shelters to rescue and re-home pets.

Faithful Friends Animal Society is a private, nonprofit animal welfare organization with a No Kill shelter serving Delaware. Faithful Friends does not euthanize animals to make space for others. All cats and dogs in our care stay with us until forever homes are found. They receive lots of love and attention in addition to top-notch care. Programs and services include rescue and adoption, healthy pet clinics, spay/neuter clinics, free pet food & supply bank, pet therapy services, and community outreach. Our mission is to end the neglect, abandonment and killing of pets in Delaware and enrich the lives of people by promoting and providing compassionate animal-related welfare and social services.

I am a business owner in Wilmington, NC who has begun to work with organizations in the Turks & Caicos Islands to help save the homeless Potcake dogs that inhabit the islands. The Potcake Project is sponsored by SaveDog Project, Inc., a non-profit dog welfare organization I am founding in 2014. We LOVE Potcakes, so our mission is very simple – we strive to give homeless Potcake dogs the opportunity to live in the home of a lifetime. We view Potcakes as our clients, and we’ll do whatever it takes to exceed our client’s expectations, one wagging tail at a time. We intend to help support the efforts of other potcake rescue organizations, with a common goal of uniting adoptable potcakes with loving forever homes. We also intend to support intelligently implemented spay & neutering programs, the critical “other half of a solution” to the proliferation of homeless, unwanted Potcakes in the Turks & Caicos Islands and Bahamas.

From the Founder: My name is Hollie Hastings and I love animals. Dogs are the best. They give you unconditional love and always forgiving and trusting. Approximately ten years ago, our family adopted a six month old Rotweiler named Harley from our local SPCA and he was one of the best dogs. When Harley was 10 months old, he developed a limp, so we took him to the vet and it was determined that he had a rare cancer in his spine. Harley underwent surgery and soon was unable to walk. Shortly after, we began fostering a dog named Bandit who would play with Harley's toys and Harley got so sad. Harley began to receive radiation and after two two treatments, he started to walk. We truly believe that Bandit had more to do with Harley walking then the treatments. Just after his final treatment (a total of 15), Harley was able to fully walk, stand and potty on his own. It was immensely rewarding to see our dear boy getg better. He no longer needed to be carried, bladder expressed or use a wheelchair. At the age of four, unfortunately, the cancer came back and it quickly spread throughout his whole body and shortly thereafter, we knew it was time to say goodbye. Letting Harley go was one of the hardest things we've ever had to do. We cherish our meomories of him, still think of him often and miss him dearly. I realize that the four years we had together were worth every tear shed. My Harley was the sweetest boy even with the pain, and enduring the the bloodwork and radiation treatments. After losing our sweet dar Harley, when I would go to a shelter and see an older dog, I would think how could someone abandon their dog. Bandit is now nine, slowing down and having great difficulty walking and standing but I would never give him away because he is old. When the time comes to let Bandit go, tears will be shed. Dogs like Harley and Bandit are the reason why I decided to start a rescue so that I could help pets that need to find new homes because their owners could no longer keep them due to death, deployment, going into nursing home, moving, etc. AMMF wants to help dogs find the best fitting homes for each dog that comes into our rescue. We are especially interested in helping to place older dogs with older people. In addition, we want to take dogs to visit nursing homes, VA hospitals, schools, etc. because dogs truly help sick people smile and feel good, educate children about responsible pet ownership, including but not limited to spay/neuter, walking a dog, feeding a dog, approching a strange dog, etc.
