Boarding/Housing

VISION: A healthy community through compassionate care of animals. MISSION: To serve the community through innovative approaches to sheltering, adopting, the spaying/neutering of animals and public education about animal welfare.

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

Sammie's Friends was created in 2004 in order to provide medical care for the shelter animals that were being euthanized because of illness or injuries. We have successfully reduced the euthanasia rate in our county from 68% to less than 1%. We did this by providing medical care and by marketing our available animals. We are a staff of 11 animal lovers and have well over 100 volunteers that help run our shelter.

C.A.A.R.E. is an all-volunteer North Dakota 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and is the only shelter and rehoming service for parrots in the State of North Dakota.

Rescued Pets Movement Inc. is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3)* all-volunteer organization that transports animals from Houston and Greater Houston area shelters to other 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal welfare organizations that have demand for adoptable pets. Thousands of dogs and cats are needlessly euthanized in the Greater Houston area each year simply because of pet overpopulation. After working with various rescue groups for many years, the founders of Rescued Pets Movement have come to realize the best way to save these dogs and cats is to build solid relationships with reputable shelters and rescue groups here and in areas of the U.S. where pet overpopulation isn’t such a dire issue, and then arrange transportation to get the animals there. Not only is this the best way to save Houston’s shelter pets from euthanasia, but we believe it will be the impetus in helping Houston shelters become no-kill shelters. Working with BARC in late summer of 2013 alone, Rescued Pets Movement has saved more than 450 pets by transporting them to Colorado.

Here at ASHA we are doing what we can to help the animals. We are not yet a registered 501c3 rescue (but we are in the paper work process!) & we do not have a facility. We are just one family working with many friends, foster family's, volunteers, donors, supporters, neighbors & the community to try & make a difference in the world; One animal at a time. Our Board of Directors include: Our Founder & Executive Director Jessica Kratz, Pat Wilmsen is our Assistant Director, Matt Buleza is our Treasurer & Catalina Ruiz is our Secretary. We also have the great honor and expertise of Robin Deltuva! We help animals that are in dire and extreme situations such as: Running up and down high ways or living in sewer systems. We work in areas that are too dangerous for original TNR programs, such as beside highways, in the center of the city or in a building planed to be demolished. We go the extra mile that other people and groups wont. We have many years of experience with domestic, stray, feral, abused & abandoned pets. Also; small animals, farm animals and even experience wild animals and exotic animals. We are dedicated to bettering the lives of any animal that is unwanted or homeless. Through rescue, rehab, spay and neuter, and adoption; we strive to lessen the number of animals that suffer from abuse and neglect. We treat every and any animal as family from the moment it comes in to our care and forever more. Any Animal once rescued by us is welcome back any time later in the future no matter what. ASHA is NOT YET a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Animal Rescue Organization and does not receive funding from the county, state or federal government. We operate on the donations of our public (and private) supporters, donations and animal fees. All proceeds and donations go directly for the care and welfare of the animals. NO salaries are paid. Donations, fees or sales ARE tax deductible since we are in the process of becoming registered. Donate online today via PayPalor send a check! I began helping the homeless animals in my little corner of the world in about 2000; Just an animal here, an animal there. Then as word began to spread, by 2002 my family and I had begun to made a name for our selves; "the family that helps rescue animals." And as things happen, our weekend projects became our every day chores. We started rescuing more cats more frequently. Unfortunately there are more animals needing rescuing then there are families looking to adopt! Since we started in 2000 we have helped rescue and successfully re-homed over 650 animals! We care about the animals because it is not their fault they are in the situation they are in, its never their fault. And because we are in a position where we can create a positive impact on their life we feel we must do all that we can. Stray and feral kittens and young cats that are caught and rescued are typically scared, aggressive and un-socialized at first. Thus; many places and people would deem them "un-adoptable" and would euthanize them on the spot, or send them back to the awful situation they came from. We do not. We believe that with time, patience and love they are able to be rehabbed and eventually learn to trust humans. Some cats may take just days, others weeks or even months. Their options are limited if they do not shown that they can co-habitat with people; So we work hard to find the perfect forever family for each rescued animal. So we will do what we can, as often as we can to help the animals that are in need of us. Animal Safe Haven and Adoptions, Inc. works to help rescue as many stray, feral, abandoned, homeless and abused animals from our community, the cities and the counties; as possible. We work to end the suffering of overpopulation and unwanted animals, to effectively reduce the number of animals abandoned and abused by supporting spay/neuter programs. Provide temporary foster care for pets of people in a crisis who want their animals back. Catching, vetting & relocating feral colonies from dangerous areas in order to eventually end the suffering of all feral cats. We take in and adopt out cats, dogs, small animals and farm pets from all of Maryland. We provide food, shelter and vet care to the animals no matter what their age, breed or sex. With us they have no time limit to find the perfect forever family.

One of A Kind works daily toward making our community “no kill” where all pets have loving homes, to saving the lives of animals in imminent danger of euthanasia and enriching the lives of people through rescue, spaying/neutering, adoption and advocacy on behalf of homeless pets. Animals are provided care and shelter until they are adopted into forever homes.

Many animals are left to suffer on the street or are abandoned or killed by their owners. The lucky ones are taken to open-admission shelters. Many of the animals who make it to The Rainbow District Animal Shelter (an open-admission shelter) are reclaimed by their guardians or adopted into new homes.

Moving to Mena, Arkansas, from Shreveport, LA, I immediately went into volunteering with a rescue group, there were so many homeless, people didn't get the pets altered, working at the low cost spay and neuter clinic, for twelve years. I have been in animal welfare for 12 years. For seven years I helped another group and then decided to start my own, I did not like going to locations, adopting out dogs without knowing what kind of home that it was going to live. Now I feel comfortable knowing that these babies are going to loving, caring homes. We have been in operation for almost five years and have adopted many.

We mostly pull dogs from shelter but do occasionally take surrendered pets to keep them out of shelters. All pets are given an exam, spay / neuter, fully vaccinated and heartworm checked, put on monthly preventatives and basic obedience and housebreaking is begun. We work with other rescues that have the same processes and screening we do and can transfer dogs to them if they have approved adopters. Our ultimate goal is to remove as many pets from shelter situations as possible and place them in forever homes.
