Cats

Looking Glass Animal Rescue (LGAR) is a non-profit, volunteer-based animal welfare organization dedicated to rescuing animals from high-kill shelters, hoarding situations, puppy mills, animal fighting rings and more. While we welcome all animals in need, we specifically focus on animals that are often overlooked due to age, breed, special need or an illness or injury requiring immediate, often costly medical attention that shelters are unable to provide. Without a rescue outlet, these animals would otherwise be euthanized due to their issues. Hundreds of animals are euthanized every year due to overpopulation, irresponsibility and sadly, cost. This is particularly true with animals who suffer medical ailments, many of which are treatable yet they are often deemed œ"unadoptable" and withheld from public view. These animals in particular suffer the worst fate because they sit in pain and fear with no hope of ever being given a second chance at life. Because of this, we have developed a special focus within our rescue to save as many of these animals as we can. Veterinary expenses alone can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the severity of the condition, which is often unknown at the time of pull. Yet, in spite of these costs, our mission for every animal we pull into our rescue is to provide the most advanced medical and pain management treatments possible in an effort to ensure the best possible outcomes for these previously neglected and broken animals. In addition to treating their acute medical needs, every animal rescued will be spayed/neutered, if they are not already, and vaccinated and microchipped as soon as possible in an effort to give them the best opportunity for a healthy, happy life. When people do decide to foster an animal or adopt from us, they should expect the animal will remain well and not pass disease to their resident pets. Lastly, for each animal that we place, we provide extensive education on how to transition the animal into their new life. Basics like crate training, housetraining, obedience training, and the best ways to introduce resident pets are integral for the success of the relationship. When necessary we will also engage professional trainers for those animals that need specific behavior modification in an effort to help our animals and their new family position themselves for success. Mental health is as important as physical health and we believe that every animal should be given the chance to lead a life free of fear and anxiety. Like psychologists, professional trainers are often the only ones equipped to transition an abused animal from the life that once "was" to the life that "could be". Our goal is to ensure that all of our animals become a cherished and welcomed member of their new family for the remainder of their lives. By working with a network of volunteer advocates, foster caregivers called Adoption Ambassadors, local veterinarians, trainers and shelters, LGAR is hoping to be able to rescue hundreds of animals every year. We also serve as a resource to our community by providing information on pet ownership, including resources for spay/neuter, positive behavior training, nutrition and veterinary care. We believe that no animal should be mistreated and are working toward the day when no companion animal is euthanized for lack of a home.

Wags and Whiskers Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit all breed, NO KILL, animal rescue organization, incorporated in August 2015. We are a 100% volunteer driven group with a number years experience with animals and rescue. Our mission is to rescue, foster, rehabilitate and rehome, abandoned, abused and unwanted animals in Willows and Chico, California.

We are a 501c3 non profit charity with IRS tax exempt status dedicated to the rescue, care and placements of homeless and abandoned cats and kittens. Our passion is Care Enough, Take Action and Transform lives. We foster adoptable cats and kittens to place to great homes. We also manage and support many feral colonies by providing spay/neuter and rabies vaccination support along with daily feeding, vet care as needed and monitoring for health issue. We do this work because we know that every life is a miracle and deserves care, love and a good home. We do it because we care to make a difference in this world. Our members are passionate and dedicated and our goals are many.

Friends of the Animal Community (F.O.A.C.) is a non-profit, all volunteer organization dedicated to meeting the medical and social needs of adoptable pets in Tuolumne/Calaveras/Mariposa Counties, providing the path to a loving forever home. I am Maureen Miller and I am the Director of Public Relations/Fundraising. I got involved with FOAC 6 years ago to assist in saving animals in our community. I am an animal lover and by doing this I am giving back to those wonderful animals who have no voice for themselves.

We are a non-profit 100% Volunteer based rescue. Each and every one of our volunteers loves animals and has a passion for rescue. We find animals in shelters, ads, owner surrenders and Craigs List that need to find their furever homes. We place them in foster homes where they can feel safe and loved. Our fosters help them mend both physically and emotionally and when they are ready (no matter how long that takes) we find them their furever homes. Each volunteer has committed to this.

We support the City of Laramie Animal Shelter by paying for medical care for all the surrendered animals and paying for all of their adoptions to be spayed/neutered. We also provide fosters for special needs animals and bottle fed kittens in the City Shelter Provide a spay/neuter coupon to community members. Offer a feral cat TNR program in Albany county and have a kitten foster/socialize/adopt program. We also do some compassionate fostering for community members that unexpectedly cannot provide short term care for their animals. We also provide low cost microchipping.

Established in 2005, CATsNAP is a non-profit, volunteer based group that seeks to reduce pet overpopulation and to improve the welfare of animals in the greater Champaign County Illinois area. We strongly advocate that animals are spayed or neutered regardless of breed, sex or age. Our program offers spay and neuter assistance and basic veterinary treatment - including flea and parasite treatment and routine vaccinations - to needy or unowned animals. We also provide humane education to community and civic groups on the care of animals and the importance of spaying/neutering in population control. We have a limited intake, no-kill adoption program. Most animals are transferred from municipal animal control facilities. All animals are in foster homes or at an off-site adoption partner site. Animals are never euthanized for space. At CATsNAP, our goal is to promote successful pet ownership and place animals in a loving, pet friendly home.

We were started about three years ago. We are strictly foster/adoption because do not have a building. About 2 years ago we started a TNR program. We work closely with the local vet clinic where our animals are checked and medical needs taken care of. We also house our animals there if a foster cannot be found. Why do we do it? Because we love animals.

Rockers Rescue. I use to volunteer at our local animal shelter and one day decided.... I could do that. I needed to help the animals in the back at risk of euthanasia. I knew it would be a LOT of work to run a rescue but my plan was to take it step by step and life by life. We began growing. When you start slow and do things right you accomplish more in the end. We go to our local animal shelters that are over flowing. The kill rates are high at Shreveport's shelter. We are trying to help make a change. We take in dogs that would be euthanized for space. We've done ones needing eyes removed, ran over, mange, heartworms (very common in this state), elderly, skinny. You name it. We look for the one that matches our fosters needs and we find the right fit. If we have the donations lined up...we take them immediately to our vet for the works. We do not cut corners...we don't wait. We make sure we have the donations on hand so these babies get ALL the care they need ASAP. We also do cats and kittens. We usually take in the very young or sick mothers. I find what my fosters can handle and we work together. We get the animals recuperated and then place them up for adoption looking for a home to love them as we do. ---- I do this because I love it. I use to have bad anxiety and volunteering at the shelter helped calm me. I found I could function and go places again! This is what God intended me to do. We help the helpless. We turn lives around. It is such a blessing.

About me: I am a certified Dog trainer and have been showing dogs for 11 years now. I have a love for the sport and a passion for animals. I later on started fostering (4 years ago). With in that time I adopted out 135 dogs. 6 kittens. I was on the board for a year and the treasure for a year. I then about a year later decided it was time to do my own rescue. I wanted to save more animals with less opinions. At the end of the day IT is about saving animals. I own 2 business's currently and had the knowledge and ability to start my own. So with in the last month i have inquired all the paperwork to be legal and applied for my 501c3 (still waiting on). and i have 5-7 foster homes and 13 animals in care right now.
