Education & Outreach

We are a small but, mighty all volunteer group who are hustling to educate, support spay/neuter, rescuing, rehabikurating and the rehoming of Shar Pei, Pei Muxes and Honorary Shar Pei. We love the breed and recognize the calling to give back, be the voice for those who have none.

Sugar Glider Guardians is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping gliders in need and educating owners on the best practices of glider husbandry. Sugar Glider Guardians was founded because of the overwhelming number of sugar gliders who are neglected, in danger, and poorly cared for. At Sugar Glider Guardians, we focus on helping gliders by networking to find homes for sugar gliders in need, and fundraising so we can make financial contributions for veterinary care. We also focus on neutering, mentoring, arranging transportation, compiling useful resources, and general education relating to sugar gliders. Through donations, education, and partnerships, we are able to help hundreds of sugar gliders and owners every year. Please contact us if we can help, or if you’d like to join our cause. We accept donations of new and gently used items, as well as monetary donations, and we value our partnerships with veterinarians, businesses, and other charitable organizations. You can also support us by shopping on Amazon using our Amazon Smile.

I, Jeffrey A Smith, Co-founded and became the President of nonprofit organization. FAS works directly with public, local shelters to assist with special needs, overlooked & "critical" dogs to keep from euthanasia. Also working with no kill shelters to condition, train & adopt out.

We are currently focusing on the “overlooked” felines due to various reasons, such as age, manageable medical conditions or just for the mere fact that they are not as “pretty” or fluffy as another. We pull from our county shelter. They are all beautiful creatures to us and we are here for them.

CAT advocates for and supports felines whose caretakers cannot provide for them, as well as for those cats living in counties with inadequate or non-existent low-cost clinics or shelters. By helping cats remain in place, our work reduces the numbers of cats brought into shelters who would otherwise be euthanized. All cats deserve to live in peace in their colonies with appropriate care. Trap, neuter, return (TNR) is the most effective and humane method of working towards this reduction and involves humanely trapping feral cats, neutering them and providing vaccines, and then returning them to their outdoor homes once they have recovered. In order to achieve this goal, we will: Work in partnership with local veterinary offices and clinics to have feral cats TNR'd so that cat colonies come as close to possible as 100% sterile. Aside from financial assistance, this includes transportation of cats and providing shelter to cats recovering after surgery Educate cat colony caretakers on TNR Provide assistance to colony caretakers with food and shelter as needed Make an effort to find caretakers for colonies who are without one Identify and bring outdoor kittens and non-feral cats into foster care for socialization and eventual adoption Keep a record of colonies in central Virginia so as to keep up with future support that might be needed Make annual estimates of reduction or remediation of colony sizes so as to estimate achievement towards our goal

I am a registered vet tech and have been rescuing and fostering dogs for the last 20 years. I am passionate about spay and neuter and wanted to make a difference.

It is the Mission of the Humane Society of Charles County (HSCC) to provide shelter and care for homeless, injured and neglected animals through adoption, fostering, community partnerships, education, and affordable spay-neuter and vaccine services. n 1975, a small group of community volunteers realized that the existing county animal shelter was not able to save those animals most in need and so conceived of an organization committed to the protection of injured, neglected, and abused animals that might otherwise perish without intervention. These selfless volunteers became The Humane Society of Charles County and set up shop in a garage. Incorporated as a 501(C)3 nonprofit organization in August 1979, the Humane Society of Charles County was created based on a deep respect for all life, animal, and human. From the beginning, we have held a deep commitment to care for animals and serve the community by offering love, support, and safety to the animals and respect for all. Each year, we provide compassionate shelter and care to more than 2,300 homeless animals; inspire more than 10,000 school children, nursing home residents, veterans, and community members through our humane education, Paws to Read, and pet therapy programs; provide low-to-no cost veterinary services for more than 3,000 pets in need; find homes for more than 1,600 animals; and save nearly 200 “bottle babies” from certain death through our kitten and puppy fostering programs. In 2016, we launched our Forever Friends Community Outreach program and since then have provided over 3000 community cats and their caregivers with free spay/neuter and pet food pantry services. As an open admission shelter, the HSCC continues to pride itself on our commitment to accepting all animals brought to us regardless of their health or temperament, and we hold tight to our vision of creating a community where animals are cherished and no longer need us for protection and shelter.

We are a nonprofit supported by a 100% volunteer staff. We rescue, rehabilitate (when needed) and rehome all dog breeds and dog breed mixes. We don't limit our support to a specific breed. We provide care for dogs who are terminally ill who may otherwise but euthanized so they may be loved and live out their life in a loving fospice home. We support our local community through advocating and providing education on spay/neuter, vaccine and heartworm prevention education and safe dog handling. We provide financial support to those who have dogs with medical issues but can't afford medical care allowing guardians to keep their dogs whom otherwise may have been euthanized or turned into a local shelter.

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.

We are a group of local woman who have volunteered with other groups. We all share the love of dogs and cats and adore great pyrenees. we will help local strays and owner surrenders as well as work with a network of southern rescue partners. nothing warms our heart more than to see a discarded, unwanted animal thriving in a home where it is loved and thought of as a family member.
