Low-Cost Veterinary Care

My organization focuses on rescuing senior pets from local shelters.

People United for Pets is a volunteer driven, 501(c)(3) registered non-profit organization specializing in small and toy breed dog rescue. We are located in Western Washington State. Mission Statement Countless dogs are without homes and in need of assistance. These are dogs who would make wonderful and faithful companions if only they could connect with the right person or family. We have made it our mission to help them do this. At the same time we hope to enrich the lives of those who adopt them. We strive to match our dogs' needs and personality to the preferences and requirements of each potential adopter. We believe this is a crucial component of the process and will help ensure a life-long relationship. Our primary focus is on small purebred or mixed breed dogs, although we do occasionally take in larger dogs. We work collaboratively with shelters, other rescue groups, and individuals, both locally and nationally. We are a service organization operated entirely by volunteers. We have no central facility. Our dogs are placed in foster homes around the greater Seattle area where they receive socialization and training while they await adoption. PUP was established in May, 2006 and since that time has placed over 1000 dogs into their forever homes.

I am the area coordinator for LRRF

I am the Publications Manager for the City of Pasadena, managing web/electronic and print publications. I am the usual contract point when departments want to implement new software applications that are IT-centric but rather end user. In addition, I am a member of Pets & People Alliance, an organization begun about 12 years ago by the present mayor to assist the shelter through fund raising that enables the City shelter to expand their assistance to animals. PPA is made up primarily of City employees, with other interested parties.

To rescue abused & abandoned dogs, provide medical care (including neutering, heart worm & vaccinations), food & shelter until we can find a safe loving family to adopt and love them.

Our purpose is to help homeles pets find forever homes. We fully vet our pets prior to adoption. We also promote spay/neuter and offer occasional low cost spay/neuter clinics. A vet is on our board of directors and offers discount services.

PAWS is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to saving Philadelphia’s homeless, abandoned, and unwanted animals. PAWS is Philadelphia's largest no-kill shelter and is working to make Philadelphia a city in which every healthy and treatable pet is guaranteed a home. Through its adoption locations, special events, and foster care network, PAWS finds loving homes for thousands of animals each year. In March 2010, PAWS opened a low-cost, high-volume spay/neuter and wellness clinic serving pet owners and rescues in an effort to keep pets healthy and reduce the homeless pet population. Located in the Grays Ferry section of the city, the Clinic serves pet owners who have difficulty affording or do not have access to basic veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, treatments for upper respiratory infections/parasites/fleas, etc.) and rescue organizations that need affordable spay/neuter surgery and basic veterinary care to carry out their lifesaving work. Support for PAWS funds lifesaving initiatives including adoption and foster care programs, spay/neuter surgeries, low-cost vaccinations, and other efforts, all of which help reduce and will ultimately eliminate the unnecessary killing of Philadelphia's animals. Donations to PAWS are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Collie Rescue of Greater Illinois, Inc. is a nonprofit corporation established in 1995. We provide shelter and care to purebred Collies which have been abandoned or turned in to shelters. The Collies are placed in temporary foster homes until a permanent home can be found. Our commitment is to place the Collies in the best possible permanent home to give them a second chance in life. We have successfully placed Collies ranging in age from five weeks to twelve years. Prospective families that wish to adopt a Collie will be interviewed. Basic information about the family, pet ownership history and why they want a Collie is requested. Our goal is to achieve a successful match between the Collie and the adopting family. We want a happy ending to every rescue story, and part of that process is selecting a suitable Collie to fit into the lifestyle and needs of the adopting family.

Our mission is to help alleviate the suffering of Golden Retrievers in need: those who have been abandoned, abused, neglected, have lost their homes or families, or are in need of medical help. As an all-volunteer organization, we will fulfill this purpose by evaluating the health and behavior of the dogs we take in, providing medical care as needed, screening potential adopters, and placing our rescued Goldens in appropriate homes. Our service area encompasses primarily Ventura County and southern Santa Barbara County.

Tara's House is a private, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization based in Columbia and Silver Spring, Maryland. Our mission is to rescue and then provide care and compassion for our pets while working to place them, through a competitive adoption process, in permanent, loving homes. We are a high-placement organization and we rescue our pets primarily from high-kill shelters with no funding for their own adoption programs. We receive no government funding of any kind, and therefore operate solely on private donations, adoption fees and volunteer efforts.
