The Dexter Foundation The Dexter Foundation is a non profit organization dedicated to helping shelter dogs have a second chance at life. We honor a little Boston Terrier named Dexter who was given a second chance. The Dexter Foundation is dedicated to helping shelter dogs and other rescue organizations who adopt misunderstood dogs. We assist owners needing to find homes for their dogs by posting their dogs, screening applicants, and finding them new loving forever homes. We work cooperatively with other rescues and help fund the rescue and care of shelter dogs. We provide a safe haven for abandoned dogs that are passed over. In these difficult economic times, many owners are forced to surrender or abandon their dogs who may need only temporary medical attention. The Dexter Foundation, with your assistance, is able to help save the lives of these otherwise happy, healthy dogs. Little Dexter sat at the San Diego shelter, abandoned by the only person he knew. His owner was no longer able to care for him and turned him over to someone he trusted to care and find a home for him. Instead, the person called animal control on him. Dexter was so frightened, he bit the animal control officer and was scheduled to be euthanized as he was then deemed “aggressive” by the shelter, and would not be adopted to the public. Thankfully, he was rescued by a group willing to take on dogs with behavioral problems and understood that a dog’s behavior in a shelter is not indicative of a dog’s true behavior. Dexter had spent the first few years of his life knowing only one person, never having been taken outside to meet other dogs or new people. When that owner could no longer care for him, he was turned out into an unknown world. After two failed placements while he was learning how to play with other dogs and people, he was sent to live with the President of the rescue group who fell in love with him and his lively personality. Dexter now lives with two rescued brothers, Blue and Scout, and a rescued sister named Annabelle. All were adopted from shelters throughout Southern California. Annabelle and Scout both would have been euthanized if not adopted by rescue due to the fear they exhibited with new people. They have all learned to how to be part of a family and made many new friends. They provide their new family with lots of love. Dexter, and all dogs like him, are grateful to the many rescue groups who have given them a second chance. The Dexter Foundation asks for your support so that we can provide funding and support to the dogs and rescue groups willing to give the misunderstood dogs a second chance.

We rescue pomeranian breed dogs from shelters and puppymills and take owner turn in if space is available. I have been doing pom rescue for 20 years and joined with the Dallas group to open a Houston group 5 years ago

My name is Julia Souders, and after spending 6 months as a volunteer in my local shelter, I decided I wanted to help animals even more. I started an animal rescue group. I realized quickly that I needed to provide the low income people in my community a way to get their animals fixed to lessen the amount of animals going down in the shelter that I was unable to pull. I found funding for both a low income spay/neuter program in which we offer the procedure for $20 and a TNR program for the feral cats in our community. My rescue group works very closely with the local shelter to get animals out and into furever homes.

Twenty Paws Rescue founders, Linda and Rachel, share one common objective and passion. Every day they battle an ongoing epidemic plaguing our streets, the abundance of forgotten homeless, abused, and surrendered animals. Twenty Paws, a small rescue, is only able to bring their ambitious dreams to fruition with the help of an exceptional and dedicated team of volunteers, fosters, donors, and adopters. Tirelessly, the Twenty Paws team utilizes their boundless devotion to provide all Twenty Paws animals with warm and loving care until they find a forever home, including foster and veterinary care. Even though the Twenty Paws focuses primarily on the “bully” breeds, they are not a breed specific rescue. Twenty Paws provides refuge and unconditional love to dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, sex, and temperament. Linda and Rachel strive to provide all Twenty Paws animals and families with the ideal match and safest environment possible. Furthermore, they have the strength inside to fight every minute. Until every shelter cage is empty, Twenty Paws will continue to be their voice. Twenty Paws Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit organization. All donations and contributions to the rescue are tax-deductible.

There are three co-founders who collectively have over 50 years of animal rescue experience. We have been working with some of the cocker spaniel rescues in the states around Pennsylvania for years, however we feel that having a cocker spaniel rescue that is located in and devoted to cocker spaniels/mixes in Pennsylvania would be able to save even more of them.

The Animal Project is a nonprofit rescue group in New York City in hopes of bettering the lives of all animals. We work primarily with cats, both with finding cats with lost homes and those who are feral and need care. Otherwise we use our good natures to rescue any animals in need and try to find them placement in homes, rescue farms, or otherwise.

HART's mission is to rescue domestic animals in need and place them into good permanent homes, and to eliminate surplus animals from being born through active spay/neuter programs. Our philosophy is to ensure quality of life to all living creatures, both feral and domestic.
