Foster Care

Safe Place for Pets is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit pet placement organization that provides care, support and rehoming services for pets of terminally ill people. For more than 20 years, Safe Place for Pets has compassionately served pet owners diagnosed with terminal illnesses. We have found forever homes for over 1,000 of their beloved pets while also providing needed veterinary care and support. At Safe Place, we place a heavy emphasis on making sure our pets receive quality veterinary services when placed in our care. All of our pets undergo a veterinary examination and are up-to-date on vaccinations, spay/neutered and undergo a comprehensive oral health assessment and treatment when recommended by a veterinarian, ensuring that each pet is happy, healthy and ready for their new forever homes.

We are a coast to coast breed-specific rescue. We take in dogs from owners as well as from shelters. (Our address is our official corporate address, but our board members are from across the country. Each state is run by a coordinator. I'm a coordinator for NC, SC, and TN, as well as our national webmaster and IT coordinator. I've been a member for 19 years.

We are a program within the national ASPCA organization. We focus on diverting kittens at Los Angeles County Animal Care Centers to bring into a foster home and then adopt to their new family.

Animal Allies of Texas is a 501(c)(3) animal advocacy/rescue organization, dedicated to improving the quality of life in our community. Our goal is to build a no-kill shelter on enough land to house not only “adoptable” animals, but “treatable” ones as well – those who need medical care or behavior modification to become adoptable. While working toward this goal, we engage in community service and humane education projects to help bring about “humanity championed by thought.” AAT relies solely on a dedicated group of volunteers to operate. If you are interested in joining us in any capacity, you will find it a rewarding experience.

Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue is a newly formed non-profit organization that will focus on helping senior boxers and boxers with medical needs that other rescues have deemed not adoptable for issues outside of aggression and bite reports. RCBR was started because the 5 co-founders are committed to senior dogs enjoying loving homes for whatever time they have left. We all of senior boxers in our homes and have fostered senior boxers for other rescue organizations.

We are a family run foster based non profit animal organization. We had previously been fostering a large amount of animals with another MN rescue and realized through research that the non-profit was unfortunately not treating their animals as well as promised and treated their fosters and adopters even worse. They were actually profiting (quite a bit) off of the rescue. We decided as a family that we could run a rescue the way it should be run and be completely animal centered :)

Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary is a Forever Foster Home based Sanctuary in beautiful Mount Juliet, Tennessee, generally housing approximately 100 senior dogs at the Sanctuary and many others in temporary and Forever Foster Homes. While providing lifetime homes for senior dogs, OFSDS strives to raise awareness of the joys and challenges of living with older dogs. We are a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization. Senior dogs, especially those with medical problems or disabilities, face a much greater chance of euthanasia at shelters than younger dogs because it is difficult to find adopters for them due to their shorter additional life expectancy and unknown veterinary costs. Most of these wonderful senior dogs will be able to live happily with a good quality of life if given a chance. They make wonderful companions because they are mature, calm and loving. It is more difficult for them to settle in, and once they do, it is difficult for them to move again. For this reason we strive to find them forever foster homes where they can live out their retirement years as a loved family member. OUR MISSION: To provide a loving home, good food, high quality vet care, compassion and comfort to senior dogs for the remainder of their lives. To build a Forever Foster Home network to enable us to place more senior dogs in loving, home settings for the duration of their lives. To provide education on the joys and challenges of caring for aging dogs. To work with other dog rescue groups to promote the adoption of senior dogs.

21 Year old Sheltie Rescue Organization. We rescue Shelties and some Sheltie Mix Dogs. We maintain a “Family Relationship” with our Shelties if possible after placement. We commit to the Dog upon intake FOR LIFE, and promise the Dog that they will never go hungry, sleep outside in the weather, or want for proper Medical Vet Care. We do this because of the Love of the Breed and the heartache we have experienced in Lost Sheltie situations.

We are a non-profit organization that exists to save the lives of at-risk cats and kittens in the Central Florida area. We also have some kitties in the Charlotte, NC are. This is primarily done through fostering those that are sick and/or medically needy until they are healthy and old enough to be placed in a forever home. We believe that saving more lives can be accomplished through educating others on the importance of spaying and neutering as well as through safe and effective trap-neuter-vaccinate-return (TNvR) practices. We live by the conviction that compassion for animals applies to all species, not just cats.
