0-Lives Rescue and Sanctuary is an all volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit with a mission to improve lives of homeless companion animals. We do this by combining the efforts of standard rescue activities with the benefits of a physical Sanctuary. Our primary rescue focus is finding forever homes for cats that have run out of time in shelters, trapping cats in public colonies, and receiving abandoned pet cats that would otherwise find their way to an open field, a parking lot, an unwelcome neighborhood, a dangerous road, or a shelter where euthanizing is probable. All cats that enter into our care are checked for medical conditions and spayed or neutered. Kittens and cats that are social or can be socialized are placed into our mobile adoption program; special needs are candidates for our Foster program or Sanctuary​; and ferals will find a permanent home at our Sanctuary if they cannot be returned to their outdoor community. As a non-profit, our efforts and number of cats we can rescue and care for, is limited by our success in fund raising, foster homes, and volunteers. Please take the time to review each of these categories on our website and consider helping where you can. .

Saving dogs/puppies, cats/kittens from high kill and/or remotely located shelters. We also rescue medical and hospice animals who have been abandoned in the shelter in the greatest time of need.

Dirty Paws Animal Rescue exists to provide a better life for adoptable companion animals and to assist the public in the effort to limit the overpopulation of these animals through spay & neuter programs.

We are a 501 (c) (3) non profit, no kill animal rescue organization that specializes in saving black cats and kittens from euthanasia by pulling them out of the shelters, fostering them and finding adoptive families to give them a forever home. We also provide holistic services as a supplement to traditional veterinary care to the cats that we rescue and to cats in the care of other rescue organizations in our area

We take German Shepherd dogs out of high volume shelters and rehome them.

The Thulani Senior German Shepherd Rescue mission is to rescue and save senior or terminally ill German Shepherd Dogs from life-threatening situations and to find homes in which they can live out their natural lives in love and comfort. A medical condition is not a deciding factor, only quality of life remaining.

Kitten Tales Rescue is dedicated to protecting the most vulnerable kittens in our community. We provide hands on care to allow these kittens an opportunity at a full life and prepare them for adoption into loving homes.

House Rabbit Society is an international, nonprofit animal welfare organization based in Richmond, California. Our mission has two parts: Through our fostering program, volunteers help rescue abandoned rabbits and find permanent adoptive homes for them. Through education, we seek to reduce the number of unwanted rabbits — and to improve bunnies’ lives — by helping people better understand these often misunderstood companion animals. In line with our mission, we are against the exploitation of rabbits. Since HRS was founded in 1988, over 30,000 rabbits have been rescued through our foster homes across the United States. Many of these bunnies had run out of time at animal shelters and were scheduled for euthanasia; others had been deemed “unadoptable” because of age, health, or disposition. Because there is no time limit on our rescued rabbits, HRS foster parents are able to spend time getting to know each individual bunny and can then match him or her with an appropriate home. We neuter/spay all incoming rabbits, obtain any necessary veterinary care, and attend to their social needs. In caring for so many diverse bunnies, our organization has learned a tremendous amount about their social, behavioral, and medical requirements. By sharing the collected information these rabbits have taught us, we are able to help other people improve their relationships with their rabbits. HRS provides educational materials to veterinarians and humane societies and helps individual rabbit people solve behavior and health problems, primarily through our web site, rabbit.org, and our quarterly publication, House Rabbit Journal. Over the past 20 years, HRS has grown from 300 to more than 8,000 members, with local chapters and educators in 37 states plus Canada, Italy, Hong Kong, Australia, Greece, Japan and Singapore. Our web site, rabbit.org, is accessed over 100,000 times a day by people in dozens of countries around the world.

We rescue dogs who are deemed unadoptable due to their behavior. We have partnered with two training facilities to help us. We decided to work with these dogs because these are the dogs that are put down first. Most dogs display fear at shelters and that gets them on the euthanasia list. With trainers who are committed to assist us with training these dogs become adoptable and some can become ESA animals with their training as well. It is easy to adopt out puppies or dogs who are easy but we thought what about the rest who are not helped because of the cost of training and difficulty level.
