Rescues, Shelters, & Fosters near you

My story is this; I worked in corporate America (Healthcare) for 16+ years after working my share of blue-collar jobs from the age of 14 with a work permit in high school. My husband Joe, the same, however he went further in his education, received a master’s degree and went on to become a CPA. He worked in finance for many years. In 2016 we basically bet everything we had, relocated our 4 children from our beautiful home in Wheaton, IL to a tiny farmhouse on a 5.5-acre farm in West Chicago, IL with 2 bedrooms and ONE bathroom. We bet the farm - for the farm. I resigned from my position and opened Our Family Pet Sitting Resort & Spa LLC in April 2016. We happily gave up revenue on 5 - 10 kennel spaces from day one to help rescues in need of foster space and offered complimentary services (Boarding, Daycare, Training & Grooming) to multiple rescues. That was the one dream we had bigger than having our own business, was having our own rescue. This was the way I could help others and still fill my own heart while running the business to put food on our table for 6. Right out of the gate we were successful. We had profitable years every year except covid which was flat. We keep growing and thriving so last year we decided to go for it and we established our 501c3 Love you more animal rescue! I am so proud of the work we are doing. Joe and I split off into two. Joe runs Our Family Pet Sitting, LLC with my daughter and son, and I am running Love you more animal rescue full time. I received my final documentation and "go ahead" from the state on October 17, 2022 and was rescuing 9 pups from euthanasia on October 22. 2022. I did not waste a moment.

We are a 501c3 formed in 2013 to rescue from our high shelters before euthanasia, take in abandoned, and unwanted animals and find them forever homes.

We provide low cost spay, neuter, vaccinations and microchips to our community in the hopes of lowering the unwanted pet population which is resulting in thousands of euthanasias. We also foster to adopt dogs and cats.

Our organization started about four years ago. We are employed with Hoisington Veterinary Hospital, in Hoisington Kansas. The owner, Linday Reif owns the clinic and has a contract to take in the stray cats and dogs in Hoisington Kansas. After the three day stray hold, Hoisington wants the animals euthanized. The owner of the hospital decided to take the stray dogs and cats and place them into new homes. This just really evolved and four of us decided to be founders of a rescue, LADA Paws. We have four founders, our Vet Dr Lindsay, Amber our Kennel manager, Desirae our office manager and Arica our groomer. We were officially a rescue July 2021. We received our 501c3 status later in the year. For the year 2021 we had just over 200 adoptions, Jan-Dec. This year 2022,we are at 198 adoptions from Jan-Sep. We are "tagging" animals from MO, OK, KS and TX (sometimes). We were gifted a transport van and after some minor repairs we will be able to use this instead of our personal vehicles. We have short term plans and long term plans. We are still learning and trying to find the program that works best for us.

Feline Lifeline's mission is "to give homeless cats a chance," not after they are taken to a public animal shelter, but while they are still living on the streets, eating out of trash cans and surviving long enough only to produce a litter or two of kittens doomed to the same fate as their parents. Feline Lifeline helps cats living outdoors in "colonies." Most colony cats are too fearful of humans to become pets, so they are trapped and taken to a veterinarian for vaccinations, spay or neuter and treatment for fleas and worms. Other health problems are also given veterinary care. The cats that cannot be tamed are then returned to the places where they had been living, but their living areas are improved with shelters (where possible) and the cats are fed daily. Tame cats are adopted into loving homes.

The Humane Society of Meeker & Kandiyohi Counties (HSKMC) is a 501c3 non-profit organization whose purpose is to help abused, neglected, abandoned and stray animals as well as to educate the public on the proper care of animals and to promote the spaying and neutering of companion animals.

The Sunshine Fund Cat Rescue honors the memory of a special foster kitty named Sunshine. Money raised will be used to foster, vaccinate, spay/neuter, microchip and find forever homes for homeless cats and kittens in the Houston area. The rescue also takes on many medical cases that other rescues decline. We also use funds to help other cat owners who cannot afford certain care for their cats. We are here to make a difference in the lives of animals and people alike by pairing up kitties to people creating a long-lasting friendship between the two.

We fill the GAP between Homeless and Forever. GAP is a foster based group serving central Ohio. We are passionate about rescuing animals and finding FURever homes

We are a foster based rescue in the Mt shasta area, and we are small but mighty. We rescue, adopt, spay and neuter, TNR, feed feral colonies in the area, food banks, community education and assistance w care and food for low income and disabled people in the community. We are in an underserved area w limited resources and we are one of very few resources for cats and a big overpopulation problem that we are one of very few addressing.

We are an animal rescue and sanctuary that utilizes fosters. We focus on animal surrenders, local shelters, and high kill shelters.

Saving Grace is a foster based rescue in Southwest Wisconsin. Our founders fostered through other organizations for years and when they moved to the area they realized how great of a need there was for animal welfare services. Our surrounding counties are only able to take in a limited number of cats/kittens so they turn the majority of intakes away. We also partner with farms that have overpopulations of farm cats. We provide access to spay/neuter services and rehome all adoptable cats to help get the overpopulated farms under control.

Fetching Hearts Rescue is committed to saving the lives of homeless dogs through foster and adoption while promoting education on responsible pet ownership. Fetching Hearts is a rescue, not a dog shelter, and as such we do not have our dogs housed in one location – they are in foster homes both in Connecticut & with our southern rescue partners.

We shelter animals from Clarke County, MS only. We started four years ago and have grown tremendously. We are the first shelter here. We do work with Sandi Paws Rescue, but need more help. Although we are a kill shelter, we pretty much don't do it unless it's absolutely necessary. We've only euthanized 10 in four years due to space, three of those last week.

We take in unwanted, injured, stray and abandoned animals. We provide all necessary vet care, rehab and daily care until they are carefully placed in the right forever home. We have a Sanctuary for unadoptables and seniors. We provide info to anyone in need on how to get discounted spay/neuters and work to educate on the importance of that.

I am Gladys, a lifelong animal lover who started rescuing in 2018. We have saved and adopted out at least 200 cats and kittens since then, in addition to countless lives saved through TNR of community cats. I work with three dedicated fosters. In addition, I raise funds to feed 200 street cats and dogs in Venezuela in addition to providing lifesaving medical care for illness and many injuries. Like at home, we focus on spay and neuter to prevent more births and deaths. To date, I have spayed over 700 cats and dogs in Venezuela as well.
