Adoptions

Promote TNR to control the feral cat population

We are the area's nonprofit advocate, sanctuary and source for companion animals since 1887.

Mission : Our mission is to do what we can, for as many as we can and hopefully one day no longer be needed! Our Inspiration : Vega's New Leash on Life was founded because, and named after, a rescued Flat-Coat / Lab Retriever mix named Vega who came to be a part of our family when my boyfriend brought her with him to live with us. She fell quickly into the matriarchal role in our pack of pups at home. She was always by your side and happy to follow you around the house wagging her tail. She was one of the most loyal dogs I ever had the privilege to live with. She reminded me of my childhood dog, a black lab named Bianca. In August of 2012 I came home to work over lunch to find her being a bit lazy but wagging her tail nonetheless. In a few short but whirlwind hours she went from acting a bit ill to passing away at the vets office from an apparent unidentified tumor. At the age of 7 or 8 years old, she left us way too soon! After trying to settle into life without her in the pack of now 5 pups, we soon realized that her spot in the pack needed to be filled. There was no doubt that it needed to be filled by another rescue. After weeks of searching online I found a 4-5 month old puppy who appeared to be about the same breed and looked like an angel! We started the adoption process and within a few weeks were wrapped up in a world of rescues, shelters and transports. We made the 10+ hour drive to the shelter where she was being cared for in Bamberg, SC where we met an amazing man named Bob who devotes his time to helping the helpless. The shelter was a ram shackled place with about 40 dogs who had been abandoned or lost. Each and every one touched our hearts and we wished we could take them all home. While we were there to get her we helped to rescue two abandoned puppies from a culvert under the road. It was then that we knew that we had found our calling! Upon her arrival at her furever home… she was greeted by the other dogs with lots of sniffs and settled in quickly as the missing member of the pack. She fit like a glove! On our first walk that first night she led me by leash to our front yard and made a b-line to the tree where we had too recently buried our precious Vega. She walked slowly to her gravesite and bowed her head and “whisper-barked” and walked back toward the house. As if to say “it is okay, I will take care of them”! After spending an hour crying in disbelief, I knew she was exactly what we needed… and we were exactly what she needed! From that moment on we have been dedicated to do our best to not allow any other of man's best friends to go without all that they deserve! And here we are today.

Warm Hearts is a non-profit, 501 c-3 foster network that rescues, re-homes and rehabilitates cats and dogs from high kill shelters. We are a no-kill organization.

We are dedicated to rescuing homeless and abandoned animals, including dogs, cats, and livestock, from high-kill shelters and owners who can no longer care for them. By working with committed volunteers, foster homes, local veterinarians and amazing sponsors, our goal is to be able to rescue animals, provide them with loving temporary care, and find them well-matched, carefully screened forever homes. We also strive to serve as a resource to our community and all pet owners by providing education and information on responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spay/neuter, positive behavior training, and good nutrition.

Our group was started by a couple of volunteers for Ruff Love Rescue (all dogs) that have a passion for felines too. We rescue homeless cats, have them vetted, and find loving homes. In addition we help trap, neuter, and release feral cats to help prevent future overpopulation.

Second Chance For Cats is a nonprofit organization set up to spay or neuter homeless felines, and then adopt, relocate, or release these cats. Our goal is to reduce the free roaming cat population in Bluefield, West Virginia and the surrounding area, and to provide ongoing care, including rabies vaccinations, medical treatment, and food for homeless and neglected cats. Our ultimate goal is to have a rescue and no kill shelter.

I'm Donna Rome, I help pet rabbits which are abandoned or unwanted in some way by taking them in, loving on them, getting them spayed and neutered, and finding suitable adoptive families. I also educate potential and present rabbit owners of vital bunny info and links to helpful sites. I run BUNN AGAIN RABBIT RESCUE where 2nd HAND BUNS are #1 . If you love critters, and/or are a bunny owner or adoption advocate, share with others and spread the bunny love! Pictures, resources, facts and events can be shared here! —Located in Paradis, Louisiana

Dogs by Debin is located in Kansas City, Missouri. We house & care for approximately 40 dogs at any given time. Our dogs arrive in our care in many ways; owner surrenders, strays & we pull from local high-intake shelters. We have an equal balance of dogs that need medical care, behavioral rehabilitation & some dogs that are just ready to get into that new home today. All of our dogs leave our care spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped & heartworm tested (if positive, we treat them). We were developed based on the fact that there is a gap in the system here locally. The shelters that are open-intake, although they are doing the best they can, they can only do so much. Those shelters are also very stressful to the dogs & this is where we step in. You can consider our place a half-way home for dogs if you will. We allow the dogs to be dogs again, offering them behavioral modification, land to run on, playgroups & necessary vet care. With this being said, our adoption rate is sometimes slowed due to the fact the dog(s) may not be ready for adoption right away. We set our dogs up for success & match them with the right family. Our final goal is to have the adoptions last the dog's lifetime. Our #1 goal though is to have a dog stay in their current home, should it be safe. We offer counseling & resources to do our best to make this happen. When it's not possible, they may safely surrender the dog to us, provided we have space. Please consider donating to our cause. You can revisit our website & watch while we grow, or help us grow by making a donation. We are a licensed shelter through the state of Missouri & a 501(c)(3) non-profit.

Brooke Ashley Miller is the reason for Brooke's Legacy Animal Rescue Team. She had given so much in her life, that we want to give some back. Brooke didn’t get a second chance at life. We are about the second chances, and the pets we rescue from kill shelters were about to be euthanized the day we saved them. Brooke’s Legacy Animal Rescue is committed to second chances for these wonderful pets and adopting to great committed families. If you should have any questions please email us at info@brookeslegacyanimalrescue.org On Brooke's 18th birthday, she was driving to her grandparents house for her party. She was involved in a tragic accident that ejected her, and her 7 week old puppy, Mia from her truck. Mia fully recovered from her head trauma, despite a few scars. Brooke was flown to a Florida trauma center for severe head injuries. She underwent two separate emergency brain surgeries, and after exactly seven days in a coma, she passed away. She lived every day to the fullest, and always found the good in everything, and everyone. One of her greatest loves was animals. She was an avid barrel racer for nine years with her much loved Quarter Horse, Red Dawn. Brooke was actively involved in The Happy Trails 4-H Club, worked at Pat's Kids, AppleBee's as a Hostess, and at the New To You Consignment Shop. She also worked at her mom's (Tink Bechtol) grooming shop, Groomingdale's Of Naples. Brooke was attending Edison Community College at age 16. Brooke has two younger brothers, Mason and Colton, and one younger sister, Cheyenne. They are all following in Brooke's footsteps with their love of animals. Brooke is, and will always be remembered for her love of life. her love of children, and her love for animals. Brooke is in the hearts of all of us.
