Behavior & Training

Serendipittys Sanctuary of Hope is a [volunteer, home, foster-based] rescue sanctuary located in Galesburg, Illinois. We are dedicated and passionate about rescuing, rehabbing, training, educating and finding forever homes for our lost and stray, animals. It is the mission of Serendipittys Sanctuary of Hope (SSOH) to address, educate, rescue, and provide aid and relief to eradicate neglected, abused, abandoned and unwanted companion animals at risk of euthanasia and homelessness throughout the country. It is our duty to be available when we are capable to provide immediate transport, veterinary care, and shelter to provide safe and nurturing foster homes where these dogs can heal, both mentally and physically, until permanent homes are found through our adoption screening process. It is our purpose to provide and promote the importance of proper care, consistent vaccinations, and spaying and neutering of domesticated animals to decrease the growing population of canines and felines which increases the burden on government-run animal shelters.

We were most recently selected and awarded with the Missing Animal Response Network (MARN) Scholarship provided by Petco Love Lost beginning in June 2021. We require all volunteers to be certified on our lost dogs and TNR trapping teams.

Our goal is to provide a safe haven for abused or unwanted exotic birds, re-socialize and rehome companion parrots, and provide valuable educational resources and opportunities to our community.

I am one of the non-profit's founders (received 501c3 status in 2007) and the original mission was to TNR and care for the community cats on the University of Georgia property and remove any tame cats and kittens for adoption. As the only TNR group in the area we soon were asked to help beyond campus and our mission is now summed up as: "Cat Zip Alliance/Campus Cats is an all-volunteer group with no paid employees, so you know your donations go directly to covering vet care, food, and supplies. Our broad mission is to promote humane and effective community cat management through our Trap-Neuter-Return-Monitor (TNR), barn cat, and adoption programs in order to keep community cats out of animal control facilities. On a smaller scale, we care for the community cats that live on and adjacent to University of Georgia property every day. On a larger scale, we loan out traps, conduct TNR workshops & trapping training sessions, and provide the resources someone might need in order to manage community cats in their own backyards or place of business, serving Athens Clarke County and surrounding counties in mid- and NE Georgia." My personal interest in this endeavor is as a professional wildlife biologist/ornithologist with many years of inventory and monitoring experience. I am a strong advocate for the humane and proven technique of TNR as the best solution we currently have for reducing community cat populations and subsequently reducing conflicts with wildlife but, believe just as strongly that there needs to be standard protocols established for TNR.

The concept of “One Love” is an expression of universal love, care and respect for all living beings. Here at One Love Animal Rescue and Sanctuary, we practice this concept by taking in a variety of different species of animals (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and more) who, for a variety of reasons, may need some extra love and attention. We have a team of dedicated and experienced fosters who accept and appreciate the animals in our care as the unique and special individuals they are. We help them to overcome any trauma, medical or behavioral issues they may have prior to finding them a special forever home where they will be able to live their best life.

Who We Are Bay Area Pet Adoptions is a non-profit, 501(c)3 No-Kill shelter, pet rescue, and adoption organization that relies on donations from the public to house, feed, and medically care for the dogs and cats taken in our adoption program. Founded in 1967 as the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Galveston County, we DBA as Bay Area Pet Adoptions and Bay Area SPCA. Our non-profit tax ID is 23-7011759. We are not operated or funded by any national animal group and must rely on contributions from the public to keep our shelter open. Donations made to national animal welfare groups do not benefit our organization or our animals. All financial contributions and in-kind donations are tax deductible. Our Mission The mission of Bay Area Pet Adoptions is to shelter companion animals that we have rescued from kill shelters/animal control facilities and individuals until permanent homes are found for them. Our adoption program strives to place the animal with a family whose lifestyle and activity level matches that of the animal. Bay Area Pet Adoptions provides education and community outreach, focusing on ways to reduce the number of unwanted companion animals and their euthanization. We educate about the daily care and responsibilities of a family pet, including the importance of spaying/neutering, proper vaccinations, and the prevention of heartworms and other parasites. We also provide information on resources available to the community for low-cost spay/neuter assistance and all other medical care. We also offer a low-cost vaccination clinic by appointment. What We Do While at our shelter all animals are given a health check by a licensed Veterinarian and are periodically checked by the same Vet for the duration of their stay. They are spayed or neutered, receive full vaccinations, are given their rabies shot, and are microchipped. All animals are on monthly heartworm and flea prevention, and are de-wormed. Our felines are FIV and FeLv negative and our dogs are tested and/or treated for heartworm disease, making them heartworm negative prior to adoption. Socialization is another key to successful adoptions and to a great life outside of our shelter. Our dogs and cats are not kept in their kennels until someone who is interested in adopting them wants to spend time with them. Our dogs and cats are socialized daily in canine play yards or feline play rooms by staff and volunteers. Daily human contact and socialization with other dogs and cats is extremely important for these animals to successfully transition into a home.

One girls’ mission to fight for the underdogs and make an impact in dog rescue one dog at a time. Focusing on dogs that may have physical, medical, and other special needs. Disabilities ranging from blindness, deafness, confidence, reactive, to otherwise disable dogs. Dedicated to giving these animals the best chance of survival by providing lifesaving medical or training and letting them experience what it feels to know love and compassion. With the goal of teaching them to trust, and when they are ready, find their furever home. Simple Girl Doggie Haven (SGDH) mission is to save the lives of what are considered unadoptable by most shelters.. According to the ASPCA, every year 6.5 million animals enter shelters nationwide, and of these, 1.5 million are euthanized due to time and space. With medical being high on the list due to the cost of treating these animals. The goal is to reduce companion animal homelessness (especially the unadoptable) through establishing a network within rescues and shelters; supporting the community to keep pets in their homes; reducing the number of unwanted animals with aggressive spay/neuter services; and strengthen the human-animal bond through education & outreach programs. Rescue and Adoptions Simple Girl Doggie Haven plans to partner with local animal shelters whose animals are at high risk of euthanasia both in and out of Michigan and be able to save some of their unadoptable dogs. These dogs would include but not be limited to: puppies who due to their immature immune systems are highly susceptible to illness, pregnant or nursing dams who need a safe environment to raise their babies, dogs who are struggling emotionally or physically in the shelter environment, dogs who have run out of time in the shelter system, and dogs who are in need of specialized training. SGDH will not discriminate based on breed. The organization will be foster and volunteer based. We feel that foster homes are a better option due to the one-on-one attention these dogs will be receiving. It will also help reduce overhead which will allow more of the donations we receive to be directly applied to saving dogs.

We are a nonprofit pet rescue saving animals from abuse, neglect or euthanasia, primarily from kill shelters in California and Texas bringing them to fosters and adopters in the PNW. All members have experience with rescues. Our goal is to rescue, rehabilitate, rehome and educate. We collectively have a passion for saving animals and ultimately happy endings! Long term goal is to include a sanctuary for non adoptable animals.
