Foster Care

Queen City Cats is a group of compassionate volunteers committed to improving the lives of lost, abandoned, unwanted and stray cats in the greater Burlington, Vermont area and working with the community to achieve that objective. We advocate for the responsible care of cats by promoting spay/neuter programs, fostering, and adoption and by providing humane education and essential resources to their human companions.

We are a nonprofit animal rescue that strives to end canine neglect and build a bully-breed loving society through adoption programming and advocacy. We envision a society where bully breeds are accepted, and responsible pet ownership is expected. With occasional exceptions, all dogs available for adoption through our rescue are pit bulls, bully breeds and their mixes. Most are pulled from high-capacity municipal shelters and holding pens around our state, at risk of euthanasia due to breed, age, illness, injury, behavior, temperament, or lack of space. Once in rescue, each dog is placed in a foster home, where they are exposed to various environments to gauge behaviors, responses, and triggers. This process allows us to select the adoptive placement best suited for each individual dog. As a result, we operate on a “Best Fit” Model of Adoption, where every application is processed, and the home determined best suited to meet the needs of the specific dog is selected.

We are a non-profit fully foster based dog and cat rescue. We take in dogs/cats locally from other shelters in the Rochester area as well as owner surrenders and strays as well as travel to the southern states to pull dogs from overcrowded and under funded kill shelters. Our mission is to find loving families that will be forever homes for as many dogs and cats as we can so that they do not end up in a shelter or on the street again.

Dorchester Paws, formerly known as Frances R. Willis SPCA, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of animals in Dorchester County, South Carolina. Dorchester Paws is the only open-admission shelter in Dorchester County, serving towns including Rosinville, Ridgeville, Oakbrook, St. George, Summerville and Grover, SC. Partnering with Dorchester Code Enforcement, we take in every lost, abandoned and abused animal and provide them with food, shelter and medical attention until they find their forever home.

We are small non-profit 501(c)(3) that rescues at-risk dogs from area shelters. We feel these dogs deserve a second chance so we rescue them, provide spay/neuter, full vetting and anything they need to help them find their forever home. Our team is a dedicated group that is dedicated to helping these dogs in need and determined to reduce the pet population and unnecessary euthanasia due to space.

Hello! My name is Renee and I have always loved animals dearly. My first pet was actually a duck we saved from slaughter. I was 4 years old, so I am not sure you could call it my pet. I love animals, and you can always find me following the animals around at parties. I am that person. I always have been. My first actual pet was a cat named Sam, or Sammie. He is the name sake of this rescue, and this rescue embodies the spirit of who he was. He loved kittens and always bonded to at least one. Even if he was a crabby old man, the kittens brought out the young man in him and always brightened his world. He was an extraordinary cat who everyone loved. He was my best friend, and honestly, my protector. He was my emotional support animal and was there when I needed him, most times before I even knew that I needed him. He was so in tune with me that he would care for and comfort me when I was sick or in pain. He was unlike any other. I started this rescue in his name, due to his love and my love of kittens and cats in need. Especially kittens and young cats. I focus heavily on adoptable cats caught through TNR that otherwise would be breeding and left outside, when they can be brought inside and adopted. They are a simple resolution to a complex issue. The more adoptable cats I can get off the streets and altered, the better. Another special mission of mine is pregnant mom cats and kittens found outside. I find them the most vulnerable, and they hold a special place in my heart. This season, I recently delivered my first litter of kittens, and I find it to be my most proud accomplishment. It was not an uncomplicated delivery or litter early on. They all had their issues, and so did the delivery and mom cat. Everyone is happy and healthy now, and finally ready for adoption, but I am so proud of how far they have all come. I try to go back to colonies and TNR where cats came from to reduce population growth, or at least let other larger organizations I work with know about them so that they can be helped. I believe in closing that loop, so all cats are helped and no one is left behind. As a small rescue, sometimes it is hard to do, alone.
