Rescue Services

The Humane Society and Adoption Center is dedicated to promoting humane treatment of companion animals by providing socialization, food, shelter and medical care in a comfortable setting until "forever" homes can be found for them. We are committed to an aggressive spay/neuter program to bring us closer to our goal of a "no kill" community and county where every adoptable animal is part of a loving, responsible home.

We are a group of like minded women who have been involved in rescue for quite some time with other rescues over the years but decided to strike out on our own. We are all very passionate about trying to save lives and placing them in forever homes. We are all volunteers with busy lives, families and pets of our own but realize the need of doing rescue right. Our dogs are quarantined in the south for a minimum of two weeks before being transported north. They are seen by a vet, updated on vaccines, tested for parasites including heartworm, spayed/neutered and get interstate health certificates prior to travel. Upon arrival in NH, our dogs are quarantined and then seen by our NH vet for a health certificate. Our dogs are routinely dewormed and treated with flea/tick preventatives as well as heart worm preventatives and microchipped. We are not a huge rescue as our heart and soul goes into our dogs so we try hard to find the perfect home.

We are a foster-based feline rescue specializing in matching felines to their purrfect forever home.

We are a group of animal lovers and advocates in, and around, the Greater Houston area. We rescue pigs and other farm animals in emergency situations, offer boarding for families in transition, rehabilitate the injured and sick, and we adopt out to approved and zoned pig homes. We do this for the love of the very misunderstood potbelly pigs that are so often discarded after less than 2 years with a family due to lack of research. We educate the public about these amazing babies in order to try to curb the amount requiring rehoming.

A Sanctuary for Pyrenees while awaiting Adoption Who are these folks, and why are they helping these beautiful dogs? This is the puppy that started us on our journey to help these great dogs - Nichole John and Linda Kryder started by adopting their first Pyr puppy, & Nichole, in 1992. In learning to live with a little Pyr, they got involved with the Great Pyrenees Club of America, participated in the activities of a regional group and eventually became involved in the group's rescue program. One thing led to another and in 1994 they separated from the club and formed PYRescue. They incorporated and became a nonprofit 501(c)3 in 2011. On an average, they rescued two Pyrs a week, placing over 2500 Pyrenees in new homes over the years. In June of 2015, they finally decided to retire and turned the reins over to new owners and operators Judith Dole and Dr. Michael Heffron, who bought a large property just a few miles northeast of the Kryders in 2014. Michael and Judy built a new facility designed specifically for the needs of these big, beautiful dogs, which can be seen on our Facilities page The Pyrs who are awaiting placement now have a 4 acre fenced pasture to run and play in, 150 square foot indoor/outdoor heated and cooled kennels with large comfy beds and blankets. Tax-deductible donations pay for food, utilities, transportation expenses, and vet bills. Please consider sponsoring a Pyr that we are currently sheltering, or if you would like to make a donation to help these wonderful animals, contact us or use the credit card or Paypal link on our homepage. Our Mission The mission of PYRescue is to provide for the continuing care and support of all Great Pyrenees in need of assistance through no fault of their own. PYRescue shall continue to provide all necessary care; medical (including spay/neuter without exception), physical and emotional, as required to ensure the placement of every homeless and unwanted Pyrenees that comes to PYRescue in a permanent, happy, and loving home environment suitable to the needs of each Pyrenees. PYRrescue's efforts shall extend throughout Colorado and the surrounding States as needed.

We rescue dogs from high kill shelters and find them perfect forever homes.

We are committed to saving the lives of dogs placed into high kill shelters from southern states. We believe every dog deserves the chance to live and be happy. Our fosters have one primary mission… rescuing and placing homeless, neglected, or abused dogs from High-Kill shelters from the South into loving, responsible, committed and permanent homes. We have a comprehensive adoption process which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and cost of bringing a dog into their homes and lives. Animals in our care receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and are placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes.

The mission of the Virginia Beach Animal Control Unit is to balance the health, safety and welfare needs of the people and animals in our City. Through our mission we will educate the public about responsible companion animal ownership, aggressively investigate animal cruelty cases, provide compassion and humane care for unwanted, stray, abused and abandoned animals in our City, give adoptable animals a second chance at a forever home, and humanely euthanize animals when necessary and appropriate.

Paws on the Ground Colorado was founded in 2016 by a group of dedicated advocates who envisioned a puppy mill free Colorado. We are a 501c3 organization dedicated to ending puppy mill commerce in Colorado. We are helping a local pet store offer rescue puppies & kittens in the store and transition to a humane model, as well as fostering and adopting out animals in need.

Cavalier Rescue of Florida is an all-volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)(3) rescue, organized to benefit Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in need.
