Dogs

I am the intake coordinor Project Hope. I am responsible for pulling dogs from high kill shelters into our rescue. I particularly concentrate on retriever breeds, seniors and special needs dogs.

Collar of Hope is an all volunteer, animal rescue group, primarily dogs. We are a FOSTER HOME BASED RESCUE AND HAVE NO FACILITY TO VISIT. The only way to meet a animal without submitting our adoption application is when we attend adoption events with some of our available pets.. We are committed to helping homeless animals find their way into permanent loving homes as a valued member of the family. We do not discriminate in size, age or breeds; we just want to help nice adoptable cat & dogs as we can and believe they have the right for the chance at their own happy "tail"! We are not trainers, behaviorist or veterinarians. We provide all basic health care, grooming needs and a safe place for the animal until a good viable match for the animal comes along. All rescues will take some work, some more and some less depending on the age and background. 99% of our dogs come from shelters as strays so we have no history on them. We learn as much as we can about them while they're in our care in their foster home.

We are an all foster based rescue that helps control the pet population by spaying and neutering all our animals as well and giving all needed shots and microchips to all of our adoptable animals.

Helping Overpopulation of Pets End (HOPE), is here to educate the public about the problem and put an end to unwanted animals in Brevard County Florida. Too many animals are euthanized in the shelters in Brevard County. Brevard should strive to become a no-kill County, doing all it can to find homes for the animals in need. We assist low income residents of Brevard County FL with low cost/no cost spay/neuter, TNR, and emergency vet care. We foster animals in order to help abandoned, homeless, and stray animals find permanent and loving homes. We educate all people on proper pet care.

FOSMAS is an IRS-registered 501(c)(3) charity whose primary goal is to lower the euthanasia rate at the shelter, reduce the overpopulation of homeless cats, and provide public outreach services to help the animals in surrounding communities. We can accomplish this goal by increasing adoptions and expanding our volunteer program. We provide homes, medical and comfort care to all animals in foster care until adopted. We provide specialty services for care of pre-wean kittens, we train fosters in animal care and provide foster homes for those that choose to volunteer. FOSMAS provides all necessary food, supplies, and medical treatments for the pets it places in foster homes. We place them in adoption centers and holds pet fairs to find forever homes for the pets in our foster system.

FRAs is an all-volunteer 501 (c) (3) Texas organization founded in 2004. FRAs is working to improve communication between shelters and the community. By partnering with our local animal shelters, networking with animal rescue groups, utilizing community resources and social media, as well as conducting off site adoption events and fund raisers, we are able to help increase animal adoptions.

Mission : Our mission is to do what we can, for as many as we can and hopefully one day no longer be needed! Our Inspiration : Vega's New Leash on Life was founded because, and named after, a rescued Flat-Coat / Lab Retriever mix named Vega who came to be a part of our family when my boyfriend brought her with him to live with us. She fell quickly into the matriarchal role in our pack of pups at home. She was always by your side and happy to follow you around the house wagging her tail. She was one of the most loyal dogs I ever had the privilege to live with. She reminded me of my childhood dog, a black lab named Bianca. In August of 2012 I came home to work over lunch to find her being a bit lazy but wagging her tail nonetheless. In a few short but whirlwind hours she went from acting a bit ill to passing away at the vets office from an apparent unidentified tumor. At the age of 7 or 8 years old, she left us way too soon! After trying to settle into life without her in the pack of now 5 pups, we soon realized that her spot in the pack needed to be filled. There was no doubt that it needed to be filled by another rescue. After weeks of searching online I found a 4-5 month old puppy who appeared to be about the same breed and looked like an angel! We started the adoption process and within a few weeks were wrapped up in a world of rescues, shelters and transports. We made the 10+ hour drive to the shelter where she was being cared for in Bamberg, SC where we met an amazing man named Bob who devotes his time to helping the helpless. The shelter was a ram shackled place with about 40 dogs who had been abandoned or lost. Each and every one touched our hearts and we wished we could take them all home. While we were there to get her we helped to rescue two abandoned puppies from a culvert under the road. It was then that we knew that we had found our calling! Upon her arrival at her furever home… she was greeted by the other dogs with lots of sniffs and settled in quickly as the missing member of the pack. She fit like a glove! On our first walk that first night she led me by leash to our front yard and made a b-line to the tree where we had too recently buried our precious Vega. She walked slowly to her gravesite and bowed her head and “whisper-barked” and walked back toward the house. As if to say “it is okay, I will take care of them”! After spending an hour crying in disbelief, I knew she was exactly what we needed… and we were exactly what she needed! From that moment on we have been dedicated to do our best to not allow any other of man's best friends to go without all that they deserve! And here we are today.

Brooke Ashley Miller is the reason for Brooke's Legacy Animal Rescue Team. She had given so much in her life, that we want to give some back. Brooke didn’t get a second chance at life. We are about the second chances, and the pets we rescue from kill shelters were about to be euthanized the day we saved them. Brooke’s Legacy Animal Rescue is committed to second chances for these wonderful pets and adopting to great committed families. If you should have any questions please email us at info@brookeslegacyanimalrescue.org On Brooke's 18th birthday, she was driving to her grandparents house for her party. She was involved in a tragic accident that ejected her, and her 7 week old puppy, Mia from her truck. Mia fully recovered from her head trauma, despite a few scars. Brooke was flown to a Florida trauma center for severe head injuries. She underwent two separate emergency brain surgeries, and after exactly seven days in a coma, she passed away. She lived every day to the fullest, and always found the good in everything, and everyone. One of her greatest loves was animals. She was an avid barrel racer for nine years with her much loved Quarter Horse, Red Dawn. Brooke was actively involved in The Happy Trails 4-H Club, worked at Pat's Kids, AppleBee's as a Hostess, and at the New To You Consignment Shop. She also worked at her mom's (Tink Bechtol) grooming shop, Groomingdale's Of Naples. Brooke was attending Edison Community College at age 16. Brooke has two younger brothers, Mason and Colton, and one younger sister, Cheyenne. They are all following in Brooke's footsteps with their love of animals. Brooke is, and will always be remembered for her love of life. her love of children, and her love for animals. Brooke is in the hearts of all of us.

We are a network of foster homes based in Bucks and Philadelphia counties. Throughout the year we participate in various adoption events to promote our group and find homes for our adoptable animals. Currently we use Facebook, Petfinder, Adopt a Pet, and our own website to post pictures and videos of our animals. We also promote TNR and will assist with trapping, neutering and release of feral cats. There is a huge problem in the US with pet overpopulation so we are trying to do our small part to rectify the problem.
