Adoptions

I have been in rescue for over 30 years. I have worked with and through other non profits previously but decided to found and open my own, with all of the contacts I have made through the years.

NorCal Bully Breed Rescue (NBBR) is an all volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to helping needy animals in our community.  While our focus is on "bully breeds," we don't discriminate and will very often help dogs of any breed, provided we have a foster home available.  We take in dogs from local shelters with a focus on those with medical challenges and those whose behavior is declining due to the stress of the shelter environment.  These are the dogs most often overlooked and in need of the most help. NBBR is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, our tax ID # is 46-3665141. Your donations are fully tax deductible and fund our operations and help pay our vet expenses. NBBR is dedicated to reducing the number of homeless pets through the spaying/neutering of all our our rescued dogs and through education on the importance of spaying/neutering all animals. We provide information on low cost or no cost spay/neuter clinics in our surrounding areas. Each dog that comes to us has been temperament tested, updated on shots, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Many of our dogs have also been treated for various medical conditions including mange, heart worms, broken bones, neurological issues, and many others. One of our dogs can take anywhere from one month to one year to get ready for adoption and the cost for the dogs we take on can range from $100 to several thousand dollars. We take on dogs from shelters that are set to be euthanized for various reasons, including simply that they've been there too long, or they have a medical condition that precludes them from adoption to the public, making them "rescue only." This means only a rescue can pull them from the shelter, but also leaves us to be responsible for any costs to to be increased by said rescue dog. We also take on strays and incur the cost of having them vaccinated, spayed, neutered and microchipped. We will help dogs who owners can no longer provide care by networking their dog, provided the owner can continue to house the dog. We insure a safe house for all of the dogs that we take on and provide all needed supplies for the foster homes that care for them until they are to be adopted. We also insure that they never end up in a shelter, running the risk of being euthanized due to lack of space or due to becoming "aggressive" cause by the stress of being in a shelter environment.

Founded in 2021, Almost Home Cat Rescue MKE is unlike most rescues in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. We are a cage-free/free roam facility that allows visitors to interact with our adoptable kitties prior to adopting. Our mission is to create a safe haven for all cats in our care until their forever home is found; as well as to be a resource to the community, for its cats, and the people who love them.

Kitten Caboodle, Inc., a nonprofit organization, is located in Edwardsville, Madison County, Illinois, and serves community neighborhoods by rescuing kittens and friendly stray cats with the intent to adopt into loving forever homes. Through its community outreach, Metro East TNR and Rescue focuses on performing TNR (trap-neuter-return) on the feral cat population and specializes in cat/kitten rescue consisting of fostering, domesticating, and/or wellness assessments and treatments, which benefit stray/community males and females, and females expecting and/or having kittens. Our team of gracious volunteers work together to locate, trap, assess, foster, spay/neuter, treat, domesticate kittens and semi friendly cats. Our group also offers knowledge and advice on how to TNR, foster, or hep others to do the same.

H.E.A.R.T. Rescue is a local nonprofit organization based in Virginia's Blue Ridge. We provide specialized care in stray feline kittens and feline neonates, pet adoption services, and education to public on importance of TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return).

We rescue, rehab and rehome or retire animals in need; we empower and educate to help the community help animals. No more homeless, abused or neglected animals

Our group started in 2019 because our founding member, Willadean Jackson, was upset when she saw the terrible living conditions at the Macon City Shelter (basically a dog pound). She reached out to others on Facebook and we created a non-profit to assist animals in Macon County Missouri (in the small town shelters and in the very rural areas). Since then, we have been helping animals in neighboring Shelby County as well because there's no humane society in our two counties. We are basically in "no man's land" when it comes to getting assistance for animals in need. Our goal at first was to build a shelter, but we could see that would cost more money than we fundraise. In the past 5 years we have grown greatly in numbers, numbers of members and animals saved. We, like most rescues, we are overwhelmed by the number of emails, messages, and calls we get from people needing our services. Now our main goal is to provide spay/neuter services for our community and try to slow down the pet population. We have been blessed to have several large donations to help provide free spay/neuter surgeries. We have also worked with the city of Macon to improve the conditions of the shelter. Now it's a much better place for a dog to find itself than it was years ago. It hasn't been easy getting to where we are now. We have had members come and go, but right now we have a great group of people that truly go out of their way to help the animals in our area.

We are a 501(c)(3) rescue based in Northern Virginia. We have been rescuing animals since our opening in 2002. We primarily rescue cats and kittens. We also provide TNR for cats. Rescuing animals is our passion!

We rescue mostly small senior and/or special needs dogs. These are dogs that are most turned into shelters or left behind when family members pass away or can no longer care for them. I am 72 and have had dogs most of my life. I started rescuing after I retired from the Coast Guard when I saw such a great need for rescues due to high euthanasia rates in our area.

We give the most fragile felines a chance
