At Beacon of Hope Animal Rescue, every animal is valued and deserves a loving, permanent home.

We devote innumerable hours each day to assist as many animals as we can, both physically and emotionally. Support our mission by considering adoption.

Have A Heart Dog Rescue & Adoption is a licensed 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue of companion animals that have limited time and are at risk for euthanasia in high kill shelters. We save these animals from their dire circumstances and place them into loving foster homes until we find their forever homes. Have A Heart Dog Rescue & Adoption is not an ordinary rescue. We do not specialize in a specific breed, or rescue only dogs that are in high demand. We focus on the dogs in eminent danger or at risk of being euthanized in high kill shelters regardless of breed or demand. We save the dogs that have been left behind and truly need our help.

His Eye Is on the Sparrow Animal Recuse specializes in finding Forever Homes for homeless cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies. Our ministry is based on Matthew 10:29 "not one animal is forgotten in God's sight." We care for these forgotten pets and match them with homes that are willing to make these dogs and cats a loving part of their family forever. In addition to running our Rescue, our founder and managing director is an ordained pastor leading a United Methodist Church in the northeastern part of the Greater Cincinnati Metropolitan Area. Our animals are saved from kill-shelters and other dangerous situations. We provide them with shelter, food, veterinary care, love and attention. The animals you adopt from us will be fully vetted, up to date on vaccinations, flea control, de-wormed, and micro-chiped.

Pits & Pals K9 Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (status pending) located in Sacramento, CA.

Rather, we choose dogs based on temperament and potential to be wonderful companions. Before each dog can be adopted, they are evaluated for temperament, sterilized, microchipped, and their shots are updated. We are a fully volunteer-run and foster-based rescue. Adoption fees and donations are used to cover veterinary expenses, food, supplies, medication, and other necessary expenses. We rely on the support of our incredible fosters, volunteers, and donations from our generous community. Join us in our efforts to give these dogs a second chance at life and a loving forever home.

Formed and run by two former Kings Dominion performers, KD Kitties Rescue & Sanctuary's mission is to protect and advocate for feral and friendly cats currently or formerly living at Kings Dominion theme park in Doswell, VA. We aim to provide a better life through sterilization, socialization, foster/adoption, and ongoing care including feeding and monitoring existing colonies, veterinary care at local clinics to ensure cats remain healthy and up-to-date on all vaccines, and to provide a safe place for cats while we work to find them a forever home. We also attempt to educate and inform the public about the importance of spaying/neutering and vaccinating their pets, as well as how to properly acclimate barn cats to new locations, how to socialize feral cats transitioning to indoor life, and medical issues such as FIV and FeLV and how they do or do not impact a cat's health and living situation.
