Dogs

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.

The HSJC is located in Jefferson, Wisconsin and is a small, privately run non-profit shelter that has been in operation since 1922. We recently celebrated our 90th year of caring for dogs, cats, birds and other small animals in need. Each year, close to 1,000 pets find sanctuary at our shelter. We put forth great effort to reunite owners with lost pets and to find good new homes for those who need a second chance. We do not impose a time limit on how long a healthy, adoptable animal may stay with us as they wait to be adopted.

Our rescue is NikaPower, Inc. We used to hold our adoption events at pet stores, through private showings and public events. However, this proved to be extremely stressful for our dogs (all but the private showings). We started searching for a physical store front and found the perfect spot by our home. This was the birth of The Rescued Pup Boutique. We had to increase our adoption fees to cover our expenses, but so far it has been working out great. We have placed over 60 dogs since February of this year. we chose to name our adoption center something different than the name of our rescue, to help with marketing and to make it clearer what we were doing. At our location we also have boutique items for sale and all of the proceeds go to help our rescue efforts. We are all volunteers that work for free at the shop. We feel it is a great opportunity to get the public involved in volunteering to help animals, we also work to educate about the importance of shots and fixing pets in addition to microchip. Our location is in a more rural part of San Diego, but we are attracting visitors from all over. Our dogs come to the shop everyday and go home at night with their fosters. None of our dogs are kept in shelter type of accommodations. When visitors come to our shop they are welcome to play with, walk, cuddle, brush or just hang out with the dogs. We have a couch that the dogs are allowed on so the humans can visit. We have a solid following of frequent flyers that come solely to play with the dogs. We encourage this because it helps our dogs to be socialized and the dogs are offering their services back to the community. Nothing like stopping by after a long day of work to de-stress with a dog!

Rescue Rovers Dog Adoptions is a non-profit animal rescue organization located in SLC, UT. We pull dogs from high kill shelters and place them in foster homes until we can find loving homes for the next chapter of their lives.

Arizona Small Dog Rescue is a non profit registered 501(c)3 no kill rescue shelter. We are a group of volunteers who have dedicated our lives to rescuing and saving homeless, unwanted, abandoned, neglected, and abused small dogs and cats too. We save most of our animals from kill shelters around the valley, but also accept owner surrenders and stray surrenders. Owner surrender fee’s vary depending on space and availability. We spay/neuter, vaccinate, medically examine, microchip, and evaluate and/or socialize all dogs and cats that come into our rescue before placing up for adoption to prescreened homes. We rescue many dogs and cats every week and always have a wide variety of personalities and breeds available who would be a perfect fit for any family and any home.

This organization is a rescue for Doberman Pinschers only. We then vet the animal and adopt them out.

We live in a town with a kill shelter and pull animals from there and place in foster homes. We also work with other local rescues when they get full and we have a foster available. We do it because we are their voice and safety net.

The M.A.I.N. Team is an Arizona based, all volunteer group focused on identifying, transporting, aiding and promoting animals from Arizona shelters who need immediate and sometimes costly medical attention the shelters are unable to provide. We are a group of volunteers that saw a need in our county’s shelter system and worked together to address and correct it. Each day, Maricopa County’s animal shelters take in around 150 stray or unwanted dogs, meaning kennels originally designed for one animal are typically packed with four or more. MCACC is the nation’s second largest shelter, and sadly any available space must be given to healthy adoptable animals. M.A.I.N. is here for the injured and sick that stand no chance at all of being rescued in these shelters. We have developed close working relationships with both the east and west locations and staff regularly call to alert us to any particular animals that needs our help. We are available to these shelters and to these dogs 24/7 – and in 2012, more than 150 were saved from euthanasia as a result.
