Dogs

Friends Of Bedford County Animal Shelter promotes shelter animals, helps provide additional medical care not funded through the county, and finding homes or rescues for shelter pets.

We are a small in home foster based rescue, specializing in pregnant dogs, families and orphaned puppies. We intake from the local shelters as well as owner surrenders and strays that owners have not claimed. We were started because of the need for this specialized service. We do it because of our love of dogs and the need these animals have to find loving, caring homes.

The Animal Protection Society, Inc. (APS) of Person County is a non-profit organization functioning as a county-wide humane society that is independent of Person County government and funding. We are a group of dedicated volunteers passionate about promoting spay/neuter to reduce the pet over-population, which leads to the untimely death of so many of our beloved companions. We are also very compassionate in rescuing animals in danger, and placing them in to loving homes. We do not have a shelter. Our animals rescued are placed in to our foster program where we provide, medical care, love, and nourishment while they are waiting for their forever homes. Our objectives include the following: promote spay/neuter to reduce the overpopulation of animals, a condition that leads to the neglect, abuse, and abandonment of animals in Person County the placement of unwanted animals into responsible, loving homes. educate public on responsible pet ownership rescue animals in danger of being euthanized.

HSWC is a 501c3 organization that holds a contract with Warren County to provide animal sheltering services. We are an open admission shelter and do not turn animals away due to medical or behavioral needs. We work diligently to save the lives of all the adoptable animals in our care. We also work with the community to help increase pet retention. We are a drop off location for transport to the local spay/neuter clinic.

Rescue Dogs Rock is a not for profit animal rescue founded in 2015. We exist solely on donations and will rely primarily on fundraising to help animals in need. Our mission is to raise awareness of the ever growing plight of homeless animals in this country, both in shelters and those dumped on our streets. Way too many amazing animals are euthanized every single day simply because they are homeless. We want to introduce these animals to the public and educate people that unwanted companion animals are not damaged goods or unworthy, but really can be great family pets. Because the abuse, neglect, cruelty and medical cases cost shelters the most money and are the most urgent, they are often the first animals euthanized. It is our goal to focus on the rescue of these urgent animals and provide them immediately the routine, emergency or specialized medical care they need and deserve. We will go beyond just vet care and get these animals rehabilitated as needed using trainers and behaviorists to help overcome issues related to past trauma. It is our belief that no injured or abused animal should lose its life simply due to lack of funds. We do not have our own shelter, and we will rely on volunteers, fosters and adopters to take the animals into their homes and provide them with proper care and nurturing. All of our animals will be vaccinated, heartworm tested, micro-chipped and altered. All of our homes, foster or adopter, will be fully screened, including references and vet check, an interview with the applicant and a home visit to ensure the home is the right fit for the animal. Our outreach and education efforts will take place online via Facebook, web site and other social media as well as in person in the community via community events, school assemblies and any place people may lawfully gather to exchange information and learn. Our message is one teaching general animal care and welfare, population control through spay and neuter and disease control in the animal population via proper vaccinations.
