PRNC has been rescueing pugs/pug mixes in greater Northern California from San Bernardino to the northern borders of California and parts of Nevada since early 1990s.

Founded in 1999 Bunny Lu is a 501 (c) 3 registered non profit rabbit rescue. We typically take in 150-200 buns a year and find them indoor homes where they will be loved and cared for the rest of their lives. At any time we have 50-60 rabbits at the rescue and in foster homes. We take rabbits in when local and sometimes not so local shelters are full or have rabbits with medical or behavioral issues. We prioritize taking in at risk rabbits from shelters but do also accept owner surrenders on a limited, case by case basis and accept rabbits that may not be in a shelter but are in a life threatening situation. We do this out of a love for rabbits and a passion for educating others about the joys of house rabbits as companions and caring for them properly.

Larry Hammond, our founder, has been involved with animal rescue and the pet industry for over 30 years. Rescue is his raison de etre. He supports a brick and mortar shelter in Egypt as well as a doggie daycare and an animal rescue in the United states.

Paws of Dixie is a non-profit animal rescue based out of Alabama. Our mission is to save unwanted, abandoned, and neglected animals and place them into loving, forever homes; as well as educate the community on the significance of spaying and neutering.

Kizzy's Place began in September of 2015 when a cat from the South Jersey Regional Animal Shelter named "Skidz" caught the eye of our founders. This poor kitty had been hit by a car and had unknown injuries on top of suffering from an upper respiratory infection and was going to be euthanized if rescue didn't step up. With no rescues able to help him we decided to do it ourselves. With an offer to donate towards care, an offer to foster, and an offer to transport to the vet for much-needed medical care we were able to save this boy's life. He was renamed Kizzy and lived with founder and Director, Blake Martin until his unfortunate passing in the fall of 2019. He is the catalyst for everything we've done and we honor his legacy by how we save going forward. Since our humble beginnings, we've been able to save over 1,000 animals in the South Jersey and Philadelphia area since 2015. As a small foster-based rescue this number is staggering and something we are truly proud of. Our focus is the sick, scared, injured, and forgotten animals. This philosophy has led to some referring to us as "The Island of Misfit Cats," a nickname we proudly accept. Our goal is simple. Provide care for these forgotten animals and when they are ready find their happy ending. We are exclusively volunteer-run and donor funded and are so thankful for all of the people who have contributed towards our mission and to those who have opened their homes to some of our wonderful animals. Kizzy's Place is a place for friends.

We help as many beloved dogs as we can from all over the US, China & Korea & we do not discriminate against breed. We vet them fully then dedicate our lives to finding them their best forever home. We love these babies & they mean everything to us.

About me: I'm Yurika- director and founder of Kitten Rescue 101. I have been in cat rescue for about 10 years originally fostering for a local human society. The school that I worked at had over 200 feral cats with litters of kittens being born all the time so I began TNR-ing the adults and fostering litters of kittens. However during Covid, all access to resources were shut down. I couldn't get spay/neuter appts, shelters would not take in animals, etc. Being known as the "cat person", many people reached out to me asking for help with kittens, but I had no resources. I had 16 kittens that I needed to find homes for with zero access to care. It was at this time, I decided that I needed to start my own organization, get 501-c3 status, and tax exempt status and I would have better access to vets, etc. Since our inception in 2021, we have successfully adopted out over 300 cats and kittens, have access to a rescue vet, meds, and partnerships with other organizations and companies. I even quit my professional job to do cat rescue and now work at a cat clinic! Cat rescue has changed my life completely and the impact that we have been able to make is exponential compared to rescuing cats as a solo individual. About our Org: It is our mission to rescue cats and kittens and provide them with supportive medical care, socialization, food, and shelter to reduce unnecessary suffering, and to find them a forever home. We believe that all animals deserve a chance at life. We are an all volunteer non-profit with just me and one primary other person who does all the intake, meds, posting, marketing, adoption events, etc. We have fosters, and a few other volunteers who help with caring for the kittens that are at our adoption center at Petsmart.

We provide permanent or temporary homes for cats. If we are able to rehabilitate and train the cats, we try to place them into permanent and loving homes. We understand the need for partnership with local shelters and other animal rescue organizations in order to address the plight for homeless, stray and feral cats. We provide homes for feral cats and make every attempt to rehabilitate cats and place them in a loving home. Cats that are not able to be rehabilitated will have a permanent home at DART with limited space availability. Priority is given to cats that are in danger out in the field and animals on the shelter euthanasia list due to behavioral issues or special needs.
