Education & Outreach

The Humane Society of Noble County is dedicated to providing assistance to homeless and abandoned pets. My name is Jennifer, I am the executive director, and I do a lot of everything! I have a small staff caring for an average of 200 animals on any given day. All of us are very passionate about what we do. We believe we offer a wonderful organization to our community. We are fierce advocates for homeless pets, for spaying and neutering and for helping both pets and the people that own them.

Good Samaritan Pet Adoption Center, Inc. is a 501(c) 3 non-profit animal rescue organization that provides a “shelter alternative” for homeless animals through the Metro area. We are a network of foster parents who care for these animals until a permanent home can be found. Our mission is to promote healthy relationships between people and their pets. We strive to prevent animal abuse and abandonment and provide resources and support services to fulfill these goals.

Empowering communities to reduce the homeless pet population through rescue, education and outreach.

We are an animal rescue with focus on rescuing bully breeds. We are dedicated to work with local shelters and low-income families to save, protect, and improve the lives of homeless, neglected pit bull type dogs. We are an all-volunteer organization and 100% funded by donations. In addition, we work with homeless people to provide supplies and services to their animals including medical care, food, spay/neuter, etc. We are driven to educate the public and serve as a resource to our community.

Virginia Donkey Rescue’s mission is to prevent donkey neglect, abuse, abandonment and to keep donkeys from ending up at auctions and kill pens in the State of Virginia. We do this by addressing the issues that cause neglect, abuse, and abandonment in the first place by providing current and future donkey owners and welfare advocates with education, resources and referrals. We offer a safe, economically viable (through donation write-offs) alternative to auctions and kill pens through our rescue program. We manage the organization in the leanest, most self-sufficient, self-supporting manner possible so we are not entirely dependent on donors, grants and outside funding. Our business plan summary can be read on our Facebook Page.

Town of Little Elm Animal Services is a municipal shelter for strays and adoptions. We provide a customer driven approach to animal services, maintaining a clean and inviting animal shelter. We believe in professional and ethical performance of our duties, and providing a safe and healthy environment for all animals in our care. We cater to cats and dogs but can provide accommodations for small animals (limited). Also provide live animals traps for free but there is a $60 refundable deposit. We are capable of providing education to the public on animal welfare.

Tails of Hope is a non-profit, no-kill, volunteer animal rescue organization serving all of New Jersey who provides temporary shelter to stray, abandoned, and surrendered animals for the purpose of finding permanent suitable new homes. Our organization is totally run by people who generously volunteer their time, homes and hearts in order to help. We make a promise to any animal who comes through our doors they will never be homeless again. We hope our residents will find a loving home with a lifelong companion or a loving family; but if they never find that home, they are welcomed into our family. We provide spay and neuter services and any necessary medical care for pets. We work diligently to educate the public, especially children, on the importance of pet sterilization, responsible pet ownership and the humane treatment of animals. We assist all animals in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. We believe that with some temporary assistance, many animals can remain in their current homes instead of being admitted to animal shelters. We help by providing temporary supplies of pet food and other supplies to families suffering from unemployment, seniors on fixed incomes and families that are dealing with chronically illnesses where resources are tightly dedicated. We strive to work with area shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless pets

Hilo Cat Rescue aims to provide community education about feral cat colonies, to maintain food and shelter for these colonies, and to provide shelter, care, medical treatment and training for adoptable cats and kittens until they are rehomed.

Sunrays Pit Bull Rescue is a foster based rescue dedicated to educating the public about pit bulls. Their motto is "FIGHTING TO BAN IGNORANCE AND FEAR THROUGH EDUCATION OF THE BREED!" Every dog saved is placed into a foster home so where they are loved and treated like family until their forever home comes along.

The Little RES Q is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and relocation of exotic pet reptiles in an attempt to keep them from being released into the wild. We provide a better option for those who, for one reason or another, cannot take care of their reptiles anymore. Founded in 2008 by Marc Ouellette, the rescue started as a dedicated aquatic turtle shelter in Toronto and now accepts in most legal reptiles as space permits. Many small reptiles, especially turtles, get purchased as a pet for a young family member without fully understanding the costs in both material and time needed for proper care of the animal. Sadly all too often these poor creatures suffer from neglect even with the owner's best intentions. We are a limited admittance shelter that restricts intake in order to uphold a standard in quality of life for the surrenders in our care. We implement a waiting list when necessary, use a foster care network to help, and emphasize adoption and responsible pet ownership for all types of reptiles.
