CO Corgis and Friends is a 501 c3 dog Rescue (specializing in Corgis and other lowrider breeds) that was formed in late 2019 by a group of Corgi loving people who not only love and understand the Corgi breed, but love all other dogs as well. The founding members have over 100+ years of experience owning Corgis and 50+ years in Rescue. It is our pleasure to help homeless dogs in need, help struggling owners rehome their pets, and offer advice on training issues typical of this herding breed. Please feel free to contact us to see if we can help! CCFR acquired our 501c3 in January 2020 CCFR is PACFA certified as of January 17, 2020

We are a life-saving shelter serving, first and foremost, local animal populations and pet owners. We are independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion of animal welfare, to the protection, sheltering, and placement of companion animals into responsible, loving homes, to humane education in the community, and to local, state and national animal advocacy. We consider it our responsibility to the community to do the following: Protect and provide shelter for lost, abandoned and relinquished animals. - Provide adoption opportunities for all animals under our care. - Promote the care and well being of all living creatures through education. - Provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals and encourage kindness toward animals. - Educate the public on pet overpopulation and proper animal care. - Campaign for all companion animals to be spayed and neutered. - Fund a low cost spay/neuter program with the cooperation of local veterinarians. We do this because we love the animals and we believe with the right tools and education, our community can be equipped to treat all animals with respect and care.

The mission of the Lycoming County SPCA is to protect all domestic animals by: providing shelter, emergency treatment, investigation, and prosecution of cruelty or abuse complaints; adoption and counseling; education programs; and humane care throughout Lycoming County.

We rescue and re-home Abandoned animals from shelters and those surrendered by the community in New York and the island of Puerto Rico since 2008.

ABOUT US How exactly is the Un-Shelter different from the many other area and regional animal rescues/shelters? Excellent question: · We commit to a small, manageable number of adoptable animals. Period. (Welfare lingo = limited intake) We believe in highly-enriched environments, from home-like kennel spaces to outdoor play. · Our adoption process is different: the emphasis will always be on “best fit, including energy levels and personality. The process begins with a conversation, leads to several animal introductions, counseling at time of adoption (“how-tos” are important!), and ongoing help where needed. · Community is our passion! We want our space to be the hub of the wheel offering humane education, pet-related activities for children and families, social activities for pet caretakers, opportunities to connect pet-related service providers to animal guardians, and as a gathering and event space to serve a variety of community needs. We don’t want you to leave our family! · In our world, ‘community’ also extends to other similar minds, so we provide active support to other shelters and rescues in the region. Our goal is to be a leader in proactive evidence-based education and best practices for staff and volunteers at other area and state-wide shelters and rescues, both on our property and on the road.

The new shelter opened in February 2010. At that time , the Shelter manager had resigned and no new person had been hired. FCHS volunteers were instrumental in the move from the old shelter to the new one. We were still not entirely welcomed or appreciated, but the PD needed us and therefore encouraged us to participate. With the new shelter came new opportunities. Adoptions soared with additional traffic to the new clean facility. Unfortunately so also did intake. In April 2010 a new shelter manager was hired. Unfortunately, old procedures continued to plague the operations and many foster homes were added to try to keep as many animals as possible alive long enough to find them adopters or rescue. It was a trying time. Managers came and went and so did our volunteers. Many found it too discouraging to try to save an animal and then find out it was put to sleep just because it had been on the books for too many days. Volunteers dropped out like flies. Foster homes disappeared. Only a few die hards remained. The writing was on the wall. Finally the PD realized that the politics of running a humane shelter was a nightmare for them and in 2016 they asked the Humane Society to take over operations. Although this had been suggested several times before, the HS had not been in a position to accept due to shortage of funds. A wonderful bequest from a cat loving citizen who died in 2015 made it possible to accept the responsibility of running the shelter. The rest, as they say, is history. We took over operations on January 1, 2017. Although many predicted that we would fail, in fact, even hoped for it, we proved them wrong. Through our leadership the shelter has become one of the most progressive in the state.

We have been doing this for over 8 years and just continue to evolve. Our main goal is to keep cats out of our shelters so they don’t get sick and die or be euthanized. We used to hold kitties till 3-4 months and spay/neuter and send to larger rescues for store adoptions. Many of the cats we get do not do well in the stores or are skittish when we get them. So we began looking for quality homes with experienced cat owners. It seems the more we do, the less the shelters around us do. They closed their doors to intakes back early in March when the virus hit and cats are being thrown everywhere to birth and nurse kittens in the cold outdoors or wherever they can try to find safety. It is heartbreaking. Since so many new fosters have stepped up, we decided now was our time to grow. But my records are a mess. I need desperate help.

We are Tails of the Unwanted. We started this rescue group to provide dogs and cats a chance at a new start in life. Our animals go into foster homes to become acclimated in home life after leaving the chaos of the shelter environment. We love our animals like they are our own and give them the highest care possible.
