We are a 501c3 non profit charity with IRS tax exempt status dedicated to the rescue, care and placements of homeless and abandoned cats and kittens. Our passion is Care Enough, Take Action and Transform lives. We foster adoptable cats and kittens to place to great homes. We also manage and support many feral colonies by providing spay/neuter and rabies vaccination support along with daily feeding, vet care as needed and monitoring for health issue. We do this work because we know that every life is a miracle and deserves care, love and a good home. We do it because we care to make a difference in this world. Our members are passionate and dedicated and our goals are many.

We are the Natchitoches Humane Society, founded in 1972, in Natchitoches, Louisiana. We rescue abandoned, neglected and abused animals and provide medical treatment, spaying and neutering, socialization, training and love while they are waiting to be placed in their forever home. Our rescue facility is housed on the grounds of the Natchitoches Parish Detention Center, and the dogs housed on-site are cared for by inmates selected specifically for this job. They have play yards, and a large area where they are walked and given basic obedience training by the inmate(s) caring for them. We have a sick room, as well as a bathing area, and two quarantine kennels. We do not house cats at the facility, but do provide rescue for cats through fosters. In an attempt to reduce the number of unwanted pets, we provide assistance to low-income residents through our Spay Natchitoches program. It is our goal to reduce the population of unwanted animals in Natchitoches Parish through adoption, as well as through spaying and neutering. It is our hope that our parish will become the example of what can be done when people work together to achieve the goal of a better life for the animals that live here.

Friends of the Animal Community (F.O.A.C.) is a non-profit, all volunteer organization dedicated to meeting the medical and social needs of adoptable pets in Tuolumne/Calaveras/Mariposa Counties, providing the path to a loving forever home. I am Maureen Miller and I am the Director of Public Relations/Fundraising. I got involved with FOAC 6 years ago to assist in saving animals in our community. I am an animal lover and by doing this I am giving back to those wonderful animals who have no voice for themselves.

The dogs in our program are kept in private homes in our service areas. We are a 100% volunteer organization with no paid positions. Boxer Rescue Angel’s mission is to rescue and rehabilitate displaced and abandoned Boxer dogs, provide veterinary care including spay/neuter, shelter in foster homes, and facilitate their adoption to carefully screened permanent homes. In addition, BRAF provides assistance to owners who must re-home their dogs, and strives to educate the public of the importance for spay/neuter, heartworm prevention and responsible pet ownership.

We are a German Shepherd specific rescue based in Minnesota. The 4 Co-founders have extensive GSD and rescue experience. We founded Saving Shepherds of Minnesota because of a lack of German Shepherd specific rescue in our area.

OUR MISSION We are dedicated to rescuing homeless, abandoned or unwanted animals in danger of death, abuse or neglect. We place animals in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process which includes thorough applications/questionnaires/conversations, taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing an animal into their homes and lives. Animals in our care are spayed/neutered if applicable, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in caring foster homes while they await placement in their forever homes. Virtually every dollar taken in goes directly to the care of the animals. Our rescue remains interested in and committed to the welfare of the animal beyond the adoption process. Finally, we strive to work with shelters and other rescue and humane organizations across the country to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless pets.

We live in a very rural county in the south. This county has no Animal Shelter and no Animal Control. For 8+ years we have worked hard to encourage the County Mayor & Commissions to get an Animal Shelter in place. Since there is no state mandate to do such a thing, the county officials will not take responsibility for the stray & unwanted animals, citing monetary reasons. Our county does grant us $4,000 a year, but this amount is only 7% of our annual financial need. So every single unclaimed stray, abandoned (and there are many), and/or injured animals relies on our very small group for life-saving assistance. We are often over-whelmed in attempting to take in as many of these neglected animals as possible. Generally, we take in approximately 250+/- unwanted or injured or sickly animals each year. Although we have 45 volunteers/members on our rolls, only a handful (3 or 4) can foster these animals in their homes. Most of us also have full time jobs. Although vet expenses for all these animals are covered through donations & grants, the foster parents cover the food & treat expenses. Also, each foster transports their adoptable pets to our nearest local city (Clarksville, TN) every single Sunday (without fail) to Petsmart Adoption Events from 11 to 4. This transport is a 60+ mile round-trip for each foster parent. The cost of transporting the animals is also paid for by the foster parents.

We are a 501c3 non profit rescue group finding homes for homeless cats and dogs. We do not have a shelter, but do have a small facility to house one cat at a time until the owner can be found or a new home. Also a small kennel at the sheriff's location for dogs.

We are a non-profit 100% Volunteer based rescue. Each and every one of our volunteers loves animals and has a passion for rescue. We find animals in shelters, ads, owner surrenders and Craigs List that need to find their furever homes. We place them in foster homes where they can feel safe and loved. Our fosters help them mend both physically and emotionally and when they are ready (no matter how long that takes) we find them their furever homes. Each volunteer has committed to this.

My name is John Riley I have been doing this for a little over 29 years I do it because I saw the need starting with feral cats in my own backyard I started dropping them in a cage and bring them to the vet two hours away to get neutered because there was no thing called spay and neuter her back in the day evolved from there and now I've been a full on rescue but the 501(c)(3) for 25 years

We are a small group of dedicated volunteers based in Ashland, KY. We are located in what is referred to as the "Tri-State" area, as it is where WV, KY and OH meet. Given our location, we have access to assist needy dogs in all three states (within a certain mile radius). However, our primary focus is assisting dogs from our local shelter, The Boyd County Animal Control Shelter in Ashland, KY. Tri-State K9 Lifeline will assist rescues and shelters by pulling, fostering, networking, transporting and LOVING shelter dogs in need. We are a non-profit rescue group formed to help the neediest dogs and puppies in our area — the strays, the orphaned, the abandoned.

To promote respect and compassion for all creatures through humane education. To reduce pet overpopulation by increasing public awareness of the need to spay and neuter companion animals. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. All donations made to Tri State K9 Lifeline are tax deductible to the extent allowable by law. All proceeds from donations go strictly toward the care of our dogs. We are a volunteer-run group and rely solely upon donations and fund raising as we receive no government funding. We’re here to help you form a lifelong relationship with a friend and provide a life that, for some dogs, has never been known.

The mission of Bluebonnet Animal Rescue is to improve the lives of abandoned, unwanted, or injured domestic animals, including family pets and farm animals. We don't limit our intake to any breed or size, but we focus on farm-friendly dogs, including livestock guardian breeds such as Great Pyrenees, Akbash, and Anatolian Shepherd.

Every day, dogs and cats in good health with wonderful personalities are euthanized because of overcrowding. Many of these animals end up at the shelter through no fault of their own. Animals lose their homes when their guardians have died or moved or simply can no longer care for them. If we had our way, no dog or cat would spend its days in a cold, dark shelter. There is so much love and joy in these dogs and cats! Bringing these special animals into a home is not only good for the dogs and cats, these loving animals also transform the quality of life for the people who adopt or foster them. Created in 2012, WAAAG is a Veteran Founded, all volunteer nonprofit animal rescue organization. We help all types of dogs and cats; find safe and loving homes for those animals that are adoptable; and offer end of life care for those that are not. WAAAG's mission is to change the way the world things about and treats animals and to create better lives for them through rescue, foster, adoption and hospice. http://www.waaag.org/AboutUs/
