Rescue Services

HART's mission is to rescue domestic animals in need and place them into good permanent homes, and to eliminate surplus animals from being born through active spay/neuter programs. Our philosophy is to ensure quality of life to all living creatures, both feral and domestic.

Alabama Parrot Rescue is a private, non-commercial organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of domesticated parrots. We strive to correct behavioral issues of birds that may not possess the proper socialization skills, so that they can live out their lives as an active member of a loving family. As parrot owners for many years, it became obvious to us that there was a need for a rescue service that simply did not exist in this area, therefore we started one. With the help of local media, APR has become the primary point of contact for all bird related rescue and adoption cases.

Gram Rescue Ranch's goal is to "Take a bite out of shelters, one dog at a time!" We believe that all animals have the right to live in a loving home, and we strive to find homes for those animals that have been abused, abandoned or otherwise needing a new home.

We are a group of people who intake dogs/boxers from either shelters, or from individuals that are looking to get rid of their dogs. We keep the dogs in our rescue for a minimum of a few weeks to learn more about the dog, and make sure they are current on all vaccines, and get to know their temperaments/character better, so we can fit them to the right home.

NorCal Poodle Rescue (NCPR) was founded in 1985 by standard poodle breeder Patty Moulthrop of Blue Skies Standard Poodles in Lafayette, California (now in Clayton). Patty says she couldn't justify breeding poodles when she knew there were poodles in shelters that needed homes. She started rescuing and rehoming poodles by herself and then enlisted the help of other poodle lovers as NCPR volunteers. Since inception NCPR has rescued and rehomed about 2,000 poodles and poodle-mixes. NCPR rescues the three varieties of poodles and poodle mixes from private individuals and shelters. Foreclosures and financial hardships continue to force people to surrender their poodles and we've also seen an increase in surrenders from the ill or elderly who are no longer able to care for their poodles. Shelters continue to ask us to rescue "unadoptable" poodles for reasons ranging from simple issues like badly matted hair to serious illness or injury. As our resources allow, we take in as many poodles as possible, nurse them back to health as needed and find them all loving homes. NCPR has no paid employees. The heart of NCPR belongs to its two dozen dedicated volunteers. Volunteers provide most of the essential services our organization requires including: basic poodle care, training, grooming and transportation; hotline workers to answer phone calls and emails and coordinate surrenders and adoptions; event coordinators and workers; foster homes; and web design and management. Of course a large part of our budget is needed for professional veterinary medical care for the poodles including spay or neuter, vaccines, and treatments for illness or injury. Only three percent of our budget goes to administrative costs such as insurance, phone messaging, web hosting and office supplies. Due to limited resources, rescue organizations are currently unable to rescue all the poodles and poodle mixes in Northern California that need new homes. One limiting factor is the difficulty in recruiting and keeping foster homes due to dual career families, smaller homes and properties, and city or county restrictions of three dogs per household. This forces many rescue organizations to board their dogs and deal with the accompanying expense. NCPR has decided to board most of our adoptable poodles and only foster those with longer term health or training issues. In 2011 we started to rent our own private space with 12 runs within the boarding kennel we have used for several years. This space allows us to increase the number of poodles we rescue; provide more specialized care for our poodles; and have better management of our boarding costs. Having kennel space has allowed NCPR to handle two large intakes of poodles. For example, in 2010 NCPR took in 24 miniature and toy poodles from the Solano County Shelter when an elderly breeder passed away. In 2011 NCPR participated with many organizations in rescuing 22 dogs from a hoarder in Tulare County. In this case NCPR provided shelter and care for ten dogs including 6 poodle mixes and 4 Chihuahuas for several days until they were transferred to other rescue groups. NCPR has four signature fundraising events each year: our poodle picnic for adopters and their poodles; the Maddie’s Fund Adoptathon; our holiday boutique and brunch; and NCPR is honored to be the sole beneficiary of the annual Poodle Day in Carmel by-the-Sea, California. This extravaganza is the second largest poodle event in the U.S., includes a parade, poodle play at the beach, cocktail parties and the sale of beautiful and unique poodle items for the poodle lover. The proceeds from these fundraising events help NCPR with the resources to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome more poodles and poodle mixes each year.

Our mission it to rescue, rehabilitate, and find homes for dogs in need (and a few cats, too)! Our dream is that one day, we won't have to. MERCY: An event to be grateful for, because it’s occurrence prevents something unpleasant or provides relief from suffering. RESCUE: Save from a dangerous or distressing situation. HAVEN: A place of safety or refuge. Mercy Rescue Haven is an animal rescue group located in Upstate SC. MRH was founded after the rescue of Mercy, a pit bull mix that was found starving and alone. Mercy passed away 5 months after her rescue due to leukemia, this rescue is to honor her.
