Education & Outreach

Providing for Paws goal is to help keep animals out of shelters and rescues and stay in their family homes, by providing food for family pets when in need. As well as lessen the homeless pet population by requiring all animals in the home to be spayed/neutered and vaccinated through Providing for Paws. Although no one will EVER be turned down for food assistance with or without spaying or neutering their pet. Providing for paws is not a rescue. However, from time to time the necessity to take an unwanted animal or an animal in need, does come about. If we do not have fosters available at the time, we will work diligently to network the animal in need to other rescue groups in hopes of finding a placement for the unwanted animal to rescue.

Millington Animal Safe Haven is a group of volunteers in Millington, Tennessee and the surrounding areas who are devoted to loving and saving dogs! Dogs are special beings that God placed here to be "man's best friend". They give unconditional love to humans all over the world! We welcome those that want to participate in our mission to love, save, heal and find a "forever home" for each of our rescued pups. We foster them in our homes so we know their personalities and where they will fit in with a new family! MASH pledges to always tell the absolute truth about our dogs ready for adoptionl!! Mission and Vision Statement: "A righteous man regards the life of his animals." (Proverbs 12:10) The Millington Animal Safe Haven 2020 Vision carries with it promise and devotion to the dogs we save and care for in our homes and at MASH. This vision is based on the work of our body of volunteers. MASH is supported by every volunteer's pledge to dog rescue and our individual actions are freely given to achieve our belief that we have a duty to provide loving and humane care and treatment for one of God's great gifts to mankind, the devoted and loyal family dog. Our Vision will be accomplished through the following: I. Establish a site to provide safe haven; a place for secure intake of rescued dogs where love is given as each dog's specific needs are identified and care is given as work is done to find each dog a "forever home". II. Secure a place for Millington Animal Safe Haven's rescued dogs, volunteer workers and prospective families to come together. A place where life is positive, uplifting and fun. A comfortable environment for people and dogs to play, meet and greet. III. M.A.S.H. will work to raise public awareness by communications, fundraising, public functions, adoption days and working in coordination with other local groups in the City of Millington and the surrounding areas to advance the needs of dogs identified by this mission. We will focus on providing humane treatment and "forever" homes for the rescued dogs in need. Millington Animal Safe Haven-MASH will work to increase sponsorships, donations and build the number of volunteers/foster homes to care for the needy dogs now and in the future.

Our shelter is a great no kill facility dedicated to increasing our community education outreach and saving homeless pets by finding forever homes.

Castle of Dreams Animal Rescue is a 501C (3) all volunteer animal rescue organization based in Central NJ. Our mission is centered on the rescue and rehabilitation of dogs and puppies from dire situations. The main focal point of our organization is to rescue canines from high kill shelters and place them in foster care until a permanent home is found. We rely on donations from the general public in order to operate. Our concentration on awareness is very important as we realize it is key in preventing millions of pets from being euthanized each year. In addition to our main mission, we also focus on other areas, Community involvement and education offering programs on pet care, importance of pet alteration, school speakers/community meetings on animal care, junior volunteer program and community service hours for youth ages 10 and above. We assist families with options that will allow them to keep their pets due to a temporary financial hardship which include temporary foster care for their pet, assistance with finding pet friendly housing and providing food and supplies to care for their pets. Training and rehabilitation with rescue dogs and families wishing to surrender their pets for issues that can be worked with.

I, Ninna Lopez, have been in rescue since 2007, managing a large no-kill shelter before starting Ninna's Road to Rescue in 2012. We have rescued and rehomed 1000's of animals. Our facility is climate controlled and the animals stay indoors at night in specially designed doggy rooms. They have access to the outdoors during the day in a large fenced in area. It's a little bit of paradise for the dogs until they find their furever home.

Helping Animals Rescue Team is a small scale, foster based rescue group that functions entirely through volunteers. We raise funds for shelter assistance as so many shelters are not funded to even feed the animals they care for. We also fund raise for the spay/neuter initiative in an effort to stop the overpopulation of pets in shelters

We are an all breed cat and dog rescue that is a nonprofit organization. We strive to find the best fit for each of our fur friends. We pull dogs from local animal shelters, take them in off the streets and try to re home owner surrenders. We do this because we feel that the animals need to have a voice as well and since they cannot, we want to be that voice for them.

Ambassador Pit Bull Rescue (APBR) is a local breed specific rescue/placement organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and responsible rehoming of neglected, surrendered or otherwise homeless Pit Bull dogs in the DC Metropolitan Area (Northern Virginia, Maryland, District of Columbia). Concurrently, APBR is dedicated to educating the public about responsible dog ownership regarding the proper care and training of Pit Bulls. APBR is an all-volunteer rescue organization with seasoned rescuers who have been rescuing and placing “Pit Bull type” dogs for many years. None of APBR’s officers, directors or rescuers receives any salary or compensation of any kind. Additionally, all administrative costs are kept to an absolute minimum, as every penny spent on administration is considered money taken away from the dogs. Private contributions are spent on the rescuing of Pit Bull dogs and include but are not limited to: shelter fees paid to obtain the dog, veterinary expenses for spaying/neutering, maintaining up-to-date vaccinations, various testing as needed for heartworm and other diseases, etc. Many of the Pit Bulls entering our program require additional medical treatment in order to treat infections, injuries, wounds or illnesses prior to being eligible for adoption. As adoption fees alone do not cover APBR’s actual costs incurred from these situations, APBR obtains substantial support from the general public. A small portion this income is set aside to invest into merchandise, which is sold as a fundraising activity. All of the activities of APBR will be governed by or conducted under the control and supervision of the officers and board of directors of APBR.

Presidential Pits is staffed entirely by volunteers. Our mission is to provide rescue, education, and community outreach for the promotion and protection of pit bull-type dogs in the District of Columbia and surrounding areas.

The purpose of the Santa Cruz SPCA is to ensure the best possible quality of life for animals and to promote respect and reverence for all. Our mission is to strive to prevent cruelty to animals, to stop pet overpopulation, to promote community responsibility and for the humane care, treatment and well-being of all animals through adoption, education, information, and action. The SPCA got its start thanks to Dr. Charles Edward Graves, who graduated from a San Francisco veterinary college in 1901 and was the first veterinarian in Santa Cruz County to treat small animals. In 1938, he donated his land to the Santa Cruz SPCA. In 1955 the Santa Cruz Animal Welfare Association was incorporated. Alva Enberg, founder, was also its first executive director. When the Santa Cruz County Animal Services Authority was formed in 2002, they took over the animal control contract with the county of Santa Cruz and the Santa Cruz SPCA became a private agency, focused on humane education, animal rescue, and community support. As a result of the SPCA's shift from a public-funded service to private agency, the only funding they receive is in the form of private donations.
