Rescue Services

The fundamental mission is the preservation of greyhound lives, the permanent placement of greyhounds in adopting households, and the education of the public regarding the characteristics of the breed, the history of this companion and hunting anmimal, and the training of a volunteer staff in canine retrieval, health care,foster care,and educational endeavors. We provide shelter and medical care for greyhounds retiring from racing activities. Through our foster program, these beautiful canines make the transition from the life of a trained athlete to household pet.

Safe At Last Animal Rescue is an all-volunteer not-for-profit group dedicated to saving the lives of shelter animals. Every day, staggering numbers of wonderful animals are discarded in shelters across the country. Irresponsible pet ownership -- be it, the failure to spay/neuter or follow through on one's commitment -- results in a tragic loss of life. We, at Safe At Last, feel these animals need a voice. It is Safe At Last's mission to help ease the suffering, as well as stop it at its source. We do this by taking animals into our organization from shelters across the country, fostering them in our homes, providing them proper veterinary care, and then matching them with wonderful forever homes. Further, to help assist with the financial plight in many of the shelters, we send the bulk of our adoptions fees back to the shelters. We also do fundraisers to raise much needed monies for the shelters, many of which are barely able to keep their doors open. These funds assist the shelters in buying the basics (food & medicines) for the continuing influx of animals. These monies also allow the shelters to provide more advanced medical care (e.g., heartworm treatment, special surgeries), thus increasing the likelihood that these animals will be able to get to rescue. Safe At Last is also working directly with shelters to assist in facilitating adoptions directly from those facilities. This not only gets more animals out of the shelters and into forever homes, but also provides much-needed financial support. Finally, Safe At Last is dedicated to education (both online and event-related). Educational efforts are multi-dimensional. We educate relative to stopping the overpopulation problem at its source, by emphasizing the need to spay and neuter. We also educate to increase awareness regarding animals already in need, stressing adoption via rescue rather than pet shops or breeders. Finally, we educate regarding responsible pet ownership and general "pet-related" matters. At Safe at Last, we remain committed to saving shelter pets, one life at a time.

At Second Chance Kennel, we believe that all dogs deserve a second chance at a forever home. We are all volunteers. All of the dogs that are taken in are put into the private homes of dedicated volunteers until a home can be found.

The Humane Society of Coleman County, serving Coleman and Runnels Counties, was incorporated in Texas in December 2003. We have a 501c3 determination. Our primary mission is providing discounted spay/neuter vouchers to low-income families in our economically depressed, rural counties. Secondarily, we do what we can to rescue adoptable pets from the streets and the city kill shelters. We are also involved in education programs in the schools, primarily through use of KIND News.

We are a group of people dedicated to rescuing dogs from crisis situations, some of which include euthanasia by animal shelters, neglect and other forms of abuse, or "free to a good home" ads

CARES was started officially in Sept 2007. After doing search and rescue in Louisanna in the after math of Hurricane Katrina, we knew we had to do more. We rescue most of our pets out of kill shelters, vet them all, spay/neuter,micro-chip,vaccines,worming and alot of love. Our pets are found their forever homes once we know they are totally ready to go home!!

Who We Are: We are experienced, animal-loving residents of Cumberland and surrounding counties, organized as a not-for-profit membership corporation. Our Mission: To reduce the rate of animal euthanasia through the promotion of animal adoptions, the rescue of healthy animals, the provision of temporary foster homes and the promotion of Spay and Neuter programs. What we do: We rescue companion animals from situations where their lives are threatened. We place these animals in a “foster care” environment in one of our member’s homes. We treat the animals as necessary (including Spay or Neuter), socialize them and otherwise prepare them for adoption into a “forever” home. We then adopt them into a loving environment. We have no kennels or other facilities so all our funding goes directly to the care of our animals. Why we do it: To reduce the very high euthansia rates in the counties that we target.

I have been doing rescue for almost 20 years. I have been involved in wildlife rescue as well. This is my passion in life. I have 3 rescue danes of our own.
