Spay/Neuter Services

Our organization is completely run by volunteers, everyone from the President to the person cleaning cages. We have 2 main focus areas. The first is that we want to find adoptable, homeless animals their forever home. We know that there currently is not enough room to hold all the stray cats in this area because of the government run shelters performing euthanasia to make more space for incoming animals. While we are no-kill and have limited space, we can still help take in some of the highly adoptable animals that would have been euthanized and find them a great home. Our volunteers love to care for the animals and get great joy in finding them that great home. A lot of them feel like every cat in the organization is their own. The second focus is that we want to resolve the over-population of cats issue in Chicago and its suburbs. To do this, we provide low-cost spay/neuter services to low-income people and rescues as well as provide trap/neuter/return services for feral cats. There are many rural farmers and people in surrounding counties to Chicago that just do not have the income to get the cats on their farm neutered, and so they start to accumulate very quickly. We have been able to assist many farms in slowing down and even stopping the growth of the number of cats on their farm and some of the cats from these farms we find great homes for! Overall, we enjoy what we do, helping both people with their pets and animals, and helping the animals too.

H4S formed on January 2, 2004. Rutherford Co, NC does not have a shelter for adoptable pets. Only a 'high-kill' Animal Control. When I inquired as to the adoption/return to owner rate, at that time, it was a mere 3%. In the summer months, I had volunteered at a shelter in Yancey Co, NC for 10 yrs, establishing their rescue effort and building a 'state-of-the art' shelter, there. In the winter months, I felt lost and useless, and bored, so decided that I needed to step up to help rescue as many of the dogs I could, in Rutherford Co, NC where we lived during the winter months. In 2007, we decided to sell our summer place, since Yancey had everything it needed now, with a sweet shelter doing amazing things for the animals in need there. Since, Jan. 2004, H4S has rescued over 7,700 dogs and puppies. We trabsport as many as we can get into other no-kill rescues in NY and NJ, and also adopt out as many as we can handle, each month. We average a population of 35 adoptables each month, as well as 35 permanent 'sanctuary residents', mostly older beagles and hounds. It has become my life's work, and I LOVE what I do. I just WISH ALL counties everywhere had a FREE spay/neuter clinic, so 'rescue' wouldn't be a necessity.

SOSARL is dedicated to helping at risk animals as we work towards a No Kill Nation. SOSARL facilitates the rescue and placement of homeless dogs with loving forever homes. We advocate for homeless and at risk animals while providing comfort, rehabilitation and veterinary care to the animals in our program. SOSARL endeavors to promote and support life-saving initiatives that enable responsible pet guardianship while treating each animal and adopter as an individual.

Buffalo CARES was started by 7 people who have worked together for years at various other rescues. We started this rescue because we wanted to make sure our rescue was run the right way. We saw a need for a rescue in the Buffalo, NY area that would help & rescue local dogs. The majority of our animals are local animals.

Mountaineers For Mutts (M4M) is a non-profit organization that focuses on animals in need. We believe that our society must become intolerant of the mass killings of our best friends and canine/feline family members. We are dedicated to the improvement of the health and well-being of companion animals. Our 501c3 application is currently pending.

SRC begain in June, 2003 when after being bedridden for more than 4 years with Lupus (SLE) I went into remission. Being able to function again yet not work outside the home, I wanted to give back as I had always been in public service so I started SRC to repay my precious Mini Schnauzer (Chewie) for being such a faithful companion during my time of being bedridden. He had even laid on my head during blinding migraines! Since that time SRC has flourished and we have been blessed to have placed more than 2500 Schnauzers and Honorary Schnauzers in loving adoptive homes! Each one stays in a loving foster home and comes from trauma of horrible conditions! They are so glad to be rescued from the horror of puppy mills and kill facilities and with time and understanding become fantastic pets! SRC also publicly promotes spay/neuter for all animals and works to educate the public on the desperate need for this policy. We work to do micro-chip clinics to help the elderly be able to keep their dogs healthy despite their lack of income. We also work to place adult dogs with senior adoptive parents. I believe this is my calling and plan to spend the remainder of my lifetime in service to this worthy mission.

We are a Trap, Neuter and Return group that recently opened a No-Kill, Free Roaming Cat Shelter. We found so many wonderful cats in the field we wanted to be able to provide them with adoption opportunities. We have TNR'd over 4,000 cats in the past five years.

Brooklyn Animal Action is run entirely by volunteers like you! We support BAA in our spare time (we all work full-time jobs) because we are committed to improving the lives of NYC's animals in distress.

Kerry's Cats was founded in 2010 by Kerry A. Spitzenberger. We are a small, non-profit, foster home based 501(c)(3) cat rescue, that cares for, rehabilitates, and adopts out cats that have, in one way or another, been forgotten, mistreated, or left behind. Any money raised, goes directly to the care of our fosters. Kerry's Cats mission is NO MORE HOMELESS CATS in the York County, SC area. We work towards this mission on 3 fronts: 1) Working with each at risk cat in his/her present home to keep him/her at that home. This is done by assisting with veterinary care, providing food/shelter/containment/education as needed; 2) Providing low cost spay/neuter options to cat owners to reduce the population of potentially at risk pets in our designated geographic area; 3) Providing rescue and adoption options if other alternatives are not viable.
