Spay/Neuter Services

Verde Valley Humane Society's Adopt for Life Center for Animals encourages spaying, neutering and licensing pets, community safety, pet education, and life-long adoptions for pets in their forever homes.

Established in 1989 are a small no-kill animal shelter. We spay/neuter every adoptable pet prior to adoption. We also have a wonderful group of foster homes. We work every day to save lives of those who cannot speak for themselves.

We are network of concerned and proactive community members of the Houston, TX area, who foster homeless animals in our local community. We are not a shelter, we facilitate adoptions at local adoption events for animals. We volunteer at area shelters and our focus is mainly shelter animals who are at immediate risk of being euthanized. Most of the animals we help come from local area shelters and are housed in private foster homes with families or boarding facilities until placed in loving and qualified permanent adoptive homes. All animals are fully vetted prior to being placed in homes (vaccinated, spayed/neutered. We are self-funded and 100% volunteer supported.

Shelter Friends is a nonprofit organization established to promote the health and welfare of homeless animals in St. Charles, MO. We are not a rescue group; we are a shelter assistance and networking group whose purpose is to help homeless animals located in animal control to escape euthanasia by finding rescue or adoption. We help care for the animals at the shelter, take them to and from vet appointments, assist with funds for vetting, and network the animals through email and social media to help find homes or rescue.

Cat Angels Pet Adoptions is a cat and kitten rescue and adoption organization in the Triangle Area of NC. We are a no-kill shelter. Our goal is to help homeless, abandoned and abused cats and kittens find safe, loving, permanent homes. Every cat and kitten available for adoption has been spayed or neutered, is completely vaccinated, tested for Feline Leukemia or FIV, microchipped with a Home Again microchip and has been dewormed. We have a Lifetime Return Policy for all of our cats and kittens. For whatever reason, we will gladly accept any of our cats and kittens back into our program. Additionally, we have a TNR program to help homeless cats. We take in as many kittens as we can and socialize them to become adoptable pets.

Greyhound Pets of America is a tax-exempt 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation founded in 1987 for the purpose of finding homes for ex-racing greyhounds and educating the public on the suitability and availability of greyhounds as pets. Greyhound Pets of America Minnesota (GPA MN) is a Twin Cities based volunteer run organization, dedicated to rescuing and placing retired racing greyhounds. 100% of our greyhounds live in foster homes where they can acclimate to their new lives as retired racers. This process helps us to better understand the personality of each dog so that we can make the best possible match with their new family. We test each greyhound to see if they can live with small animals, and many of our fosters go on to live in families with other pets, including cats. We have great success in matching our hounds and families through our foster process.

We are a group of volunteers dedicated to photographing animals at the Tipton County Animal Shelter and getting them as much exposure as possible. We also have a transport program available to get shelter animals to safety. Our group also offers free transport for people in our community to have their animals spayed/neutered. We fully fund our shelter's vaccination program and raise money to have many of the animals spayed or neutered making them more adoptable.

The Ark of Hope Rescue, Inc. is a rescue organization, located near Cumberland, MD, that takes in abused, neglected and/or abandoned animals. Together Dianne Care, her husband Bobby, their son Bobby 3, and their daughter Elizabeth are the folks who take care of the animals and run the Ark. Over the years Dianne has been rescuing animals, but the cost of vet bills, food for the animals, spaying and neutering, as well as the numerous other supplies needed to do this became too financially prohibitive; so, they decided to set up an organization where others would learn about caring for dogs, cats, etc., and hopefully people would decide that they wanted to help. They have built a new building suitable for some long term rescues. These are the animals that come here in need of medical attention, or with slight behavior problems that need to be addressed before they are placed in new homes, as well as other reasons.

Animal Life Inc is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving the lives of adoptable animals that would be put to sleep for lack of room at local shelters

The Ponca City Humane Society (PCHuS) began its humble roots in 1958 as a one woman Humane Society. Anne Deton, animal advocate, took over in 1968 and by 1975 PCHuS was incorporated as a non-profit. Our shelter was built in 1992. We continue to be dedicated to improve the lives of companion animals in our community and finding permanent and loving adoptive homes for the cats and dogs in our care. We provide a safe haven for animals in transition, serve as advocates for animals and their people, work to end animal overpopulation and educate the public about compassion and responsibility towards all animals. Our shelter is a No-Kill facility where all incoming animals are evaluated, medically treated and rehabilitated when needed and then placed up for adoption. I became the Executive Director in March of 2012. I bring with me 4 degrees including a Masters. I have worked at multiple day veterinary practices, worked at the Kansas Humane Society, and still currently employed PRN at the Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Hospital in Wichita, KS. I accepted this position as a way to help a larger amount of animals in need. Since March 2012 I have increased adoptions from 189 annually to 374 in 2012. This year we are projected to save 400 animals. I logged 25,000 miles on my vehicle with transports (moving animals to other rescues in other states). I have collaborations with rescues in MN, KS, CO, and IL. I network other animals in need as well. I do outreach programs to church groups, schools and clubs and I am a foster parent. Why I do what I do is wonderful question to ask. I do this because it is what I was put here to do. It is my calling, it is what I am passionate about. I can not imagine doing anything else. I have a story I always like to tell when I explain what I do what I do. Seven years ago, 2007, I was working at a day practice where a litter of kittens were dropped off. All were adopted except one lone black kitten. I decided that instead of this kitten spending the weekend alone, I would take it home with me for the weekend. I can not express the life changing experience that happened that Saturday. I fell in love with this kitten. Don't get me wrong, I have cared for animals since I was a child but something happened that evening that changed the course of what will ultimately be my life's mission. This kitten, named Tecate, became my first foster failure. I discovered that following morning that he was born only 3 blocks from where I lived. He was surrendered to a practice that was outside of the city I lived in. I call this fate. Destiny brought me this cat, destiny told me to take this kitten home, and destiny showed me in this kitten what I was to do with the life, rescue. Since that faithful weekend, I have rescued almost 500 animals on my own. I do not own a home, I do not have many earthly possessions, I just bought a new car last year for transporting purposes but I had a vehicle that I called "Old Faithful". That beauty had over 200,000 miles but it was paid for and still ran decent. I have spend thousands of dollars on animals that were never going to be mine but I would spend every cent again if that meant that animals found that forever home. This year alone, I adopted a dying Rottweiler that I rescued off the highway. What I mean by adopted is that he was in our program but sadly had become infected with Canine Influenza while fighting for his life in a rural OK highway for weeks. We are a small organization with limited funding but when he was dying at the local vet, I adopted him and took him to Wichita to the Veterinary Specialty Hospital to try to save him. Sadly after a week of endoscopies to clear out his lungs, spending the entire time in an oxygen chamber, he deteriorated. That Friday when I went to KS to see how he was doing, he looked me in the eyes and told me to let him go. I did. I gave him that peace that he needed. Even though he did not survive, I feel he felt the love and compassion I gave him. He didn't die alone on the streets, he went peacefully with someone who cared for him. The money I spent, the whole $2000, was worth it. I gave him that chance and I showed him that there are good people out there. My family, my friends, my colleagues know that I wouldn't be me if I didn't have a kitten at home that I was fostering, or networking 'til 2am to save a dog. So back to the question: Why you do it? Because it is what I was put on this Earth to do.
