Rescue Services

Tri-State Basset Hound Rescue is an all-volunteer, non-profit corporation, dedicated to finding forever homes for homeless Basset Hounds in the New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and New York areas. Tri-State Basset Hound Rescue is solely dedicated to the welfare of Basset Hounds. Changing lifestyles, relocations and irresponsible breeding all create an abundance of Bassets who need new homes and make wonderful pets.

We take in abandoned and surrendered yorkies, provide the medical care needed, work on behavioral issues and find perfect, forever homes.

There are several rescues in our area, and they cannot keep up with the need for a safe haven for abandoned and stray dogs. Route 66 Rescue is starting a campaign to raise funds for a no-kill shelter that accepts dogs from the public. We will continue rescuing while we travel the long road of establishing a shelter.

Our mission: To rescue, care for, and rehabilitate unwanted, abused, and neglected dogs of herding breeds, concentrating on Australian Cattle Dogs and Border Collies. Our focus is on their permanent placement into appropriate, loving homes, and informing the public about the special nature and needs of herding breeds.

The Perfect Dog, dedicated to rescuing wonderful homeless or abandoned dogs from over-crowded shelters, is an organization serving the southern Bay Area. The Perfect Dog places dogs in need into temporary foster homes, where they are socialized, trained, cleaned, and prepared for adoption. Ultimately, The Perfect Dog strives to greatly reduce the number of unwanted dogs euthanized in shelters simply due to over-crowding or being deemed unadoptable. The Perfect Dog rescues the “IMperfect” dogs who have simply been overlooked at the shelter or who have special medical or behavioral issues which puts them at risk of euthanasia, and finds them the perfect homes. We never discriminate. If there is a dog in need, it doesn’t matter its age, breed, condition, history, etc. If it needs help, we will do what it takes to find a way to help the dog. We believe in giving every dog a chance and we believe there is the right home for every dog out there.

King Street Cats is proud to be the only cat-exclusive, no-kill rescue facility in Alexandria, Va. We are 100% volunteer-run and rely solely on private donations. Prior to 2003 we were known as The Albert Foundation. King Street Cats houses 30 cats on average and because we are free-roaming, you can come and hang out on the weekends with the "cat-friendliest cats" in town! Our mission is to provide loving homes for the cats and kittens in our care, and to educate and assist the community in regard to cat welfare. We accomplish this through outreach to the local community by providing information on proper cat care, behavioral problems and other issues involving cats. If you call or email us, we will respond! We also assist local residents in locating and retrieving lost cats and assist individuals through the cat adoption process. We promote spaying and neutering, and all our cats and kittens are sterilized and fully up-to-date on shots prior to adoption. We also provide post-adoption support for adopters and anyone else that needs cat care advice. Because we only work in the area of cat welfare…we know cats! We believe that every cat, regardless of age or personality, deserves to have a forever home and our cats stay with us until that home is found.

Organization was started by our Executive Director in 2009 after retiring from the gym business and realizing that Stafford County didn't have a no kill rescue facility. In our first year, we helped 15 animals. In 2010, we helped 108 animals and in 2011, we helped 191 animals. We take animals in on surrender and pull from high-kill shelters, adopting to families that meet our requirements. We make a lifetime committment to our animals and require that, if the adoption doesn't work out, the pets are returned to us.

Animal F.A.I.R. is a group of dedicated volunteers rescuing cats and dogs from abuse, abandonment, neglect, illness and more. We are a non-profit, no kill animal rescue based in Sedalia, Missouri! Our rescues are placed in foster homes, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, ensured physical and emotional health, good socialization, and then adopted into carefully screened homes. We also educate the community on responsible pet ownership and encourage spay/neuter to prevent pet overpopulation.

OMC! (Only Maine Coons Rescue) is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization. We are a 100% volunteer-run/breed-specific rescue group that specializes in the Maine Coon Cat breed. We rescue Maine Coon Cat/Kitten mixes from shelters and unwanted situations. On occasion, we rescue purebred (PB) Maine Coon Cat/Kitten(s). This means that they have papers registering them as a purebred cat. In addition all of our cats are lovingly cared for in Foster homes until they are placed into their “furrever” homes. Although we cannot guarantee the percentage of Maine Coon in each cat that we rescue. Be assured that each “Coonie” cat represents the breed in a satisfactory manner. Please take a look at the Maine Coon cats in need of a “furrever” home by clicking on this link: Available Cats. In order to start the adoption process, please fill out an Adoption Application by clicking on this link Adoption Application. We are a close-knit group who all work together to make adoptions happen as quickly as possible, and to ensure a happy ending for the coonie and the new adopter.

The only 501-C3 Non-profit rescue in this county and beyond that rescues mostly from high kill animal control facilities and individuals and off the streets.
