Rescue Services

South Bend Animal Resource Center (SBARC) is an open admission municipal animal control shelter and animal based community center. My name is Sue and I am the Volunteer Coordinator at the Shelter. I try to bring the community into the shelter to bring comfort to the animals as they wait to be adopted. Having Volunteers with the animals lowers stress and entices potential adopters. There is a Maximum of 20 Adoption Kennels, so helping the animals feel relief can help them find a home sooner.

History The Humane Society of Camden County, Inc. (HSCC) is a private non-profit corporation that has been in existence since 1986 serving the needs of the homeless and abandoned animals in our area. The HSCC contracts with Camden County (which includes the cities of Kingsland, St. Marys and Woodbine). They pay a portion of our annual budget in return for services in housing their stray animals. We hold strays for 5 days in order for any lost animals to be reclaimed by their owners. After 5 days, the animals become the property of the HSCC and may be moved to our adoptable section. There is no limit on the time an animal may remain in the adoptable section, sometimes months until they are adopted. In March 2000 we moved to our new climate controlled shelter that is five times larger than our previous shelter. An intake building was opened in 2005 to accommodate an increasing volume of animals and improve operations. Since 1986 the Humane Society has conducted countless fund-raising events to raise funds. We hope to develop more, and better, programs and seminars to educate the public on the plight of homeless animals and informing them of the numerous wonderful, loving animals available at the shelter. A volunteer board operates the HSCC and a paid staff is employed at the shelter. Mission Statement The Humane Society is a private non-profit organization. The objective of the Humane Society is to provide effective means for prevention of cruelty to animals; to cooperate with municipal, state and county authorities in prosecuting according to law such persons as may be guilty of cruelty to animals; to afford relief to abandoned animals when sick, injured or otherwise in distress; to assist in finding and placing in new homes such abandoned animals; to encourage kindness to and consideration of animals through education of the public and any other ethical means. We are incorporated under the laws of the state of Georgia as “The Humane Society of Camden County, Inc.” The Humane Society is for “those who cannot speak for themselves.” Animal Sources We receive animals in various ways. Some animals are surrendered by their owners when they can no longer care for them, when they become obedience problems, or when they may be moving and cannot take the animal. Others are brought to us by the Animal Control Officers in Camden County. These are animals that are found wandering the streets of our community and are either strays or abandoned by their owners. Still others are brought in from Kings Bay Naval Base and surrounding areas. Finally we sometimes find animals that have just been left in our front yard.

SPCA Tampa Bay is the only non-profit, animal welfare agency that runs an open-admission “For-All” animal shelter, pet training facility and public veterinary center in Pinellas County. Our shelter in Largo cares for more than 9,500 animals annually that have been surrendered by their owners, along with injured wildlife. We want to transform the lives of animals through passionate collaboration with our community. To create a community were every animal matters.

We aim to enhance the pet adoption experience for both humans and animals, ensuring that all non-human animals are placed in safe and loving hands.

Texas is known as having the largest stray dog overpopulation problem within the U.S. Each day dogs are euthanized in shelters, dumped on roadsides and suffer neglect and abuse. Great Pyrenees Advocates of Texas was established to respond to the high numbers of at-risk Great Pyrenees and Great Pyrenees mixes that need our help. Our mission is to provide hands on rescue assistance as well as community outreach and education about the breed. We believe these measures combined will save the lives of hundreds of “Pyr’s throughout Texas. Many of the dogs we help have medical and behavioral issues and our commitment is to provide the care, love and rehabilitation these dogs will need to be placed in the forever homes they deserve. We are excited that Great Pyrenees Advocates of Texas is a strong voice for this regal breed followed up with action and lifesaving support to make a tremendous impact on the homeless dog population in Texas.
