New Hampshire

TSDS is a new Senior Dog Rescue. We pull dogs from overcrowded shelters in the south where they are often euthanized, and find them forever homes.

My name is Shelley and Survivor's Paws Animal Rescue, Inc was named after my wonderful dog, Survivor. He was 3 years old and totally emaciated when I gave hm a ride. Survivor was an incredible 3 year old emaciated dog that was dropped off by his original owners at a New York City kill shelter. He was only 32lbs of skin and bones with sores on his poor body. Survivor was pulled from the kill shelter. After extensive tests were done at the veterinary's office, it was found that Survivor was emaciated due to his original owners not feeding him. ​ Rescues support each other. There was a post for a dog needing transport from New York City to Burlington, VT. As the call of duty, the post was answered. Survivor had the rides he needed to get to his forever home. Survivor was fostered in New York City for little bit. He was given a ride to Hartford, CT and transported to White River Junction, VT to meet his supposed family from Burlington, VT. That Burlington, VT family failed to show up to pick up this beautiful soul. It was their loss. ​ ​ Survivor was quarantined and ended up in his furever home in the Upper Valley of New Hampshire. Survivor didn't know what grass was....he kept picking up his feet for the first couple of days. It was kind of funny to see him do that. Survivor was fed multiple small meals throughout the days and he thrived in his new environment He learned how to be a dog, and loved playing with his tennis balls. He would play fetch for hours. Survivor was an ambassador for his breed and for the rescue world. He loved all creatures, dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats, - even bees and humans of all sizes. AND he loved to smell flowers. Survivor was taken on rescue missions, he did numerous home visit checks with his furever Mom. Survivor was temperament test dog, With his great laid back temperament, it was the perfect job for him. He loved puppies....even at 12 years when there was a couple of foster puppies in his home...he played with them. ​ Survivor even went on dog rescue missions to find lost dogs. He was 12 years when he went on his last lost dog mission. Survivor and Mom hiked for hours thru the woods of White River Junction, VT for this 6 month old puppy that got lost during doggie transport. We spent 3 days looking for this poor puppy from Louisiana. Survivor's Mom was on rescue mission in Boston, MA when this puppy, Avery, got loose during transport in White River Jct, VT. By the time Survivor's Mom got home from Boston, MA it was almost midnight on that Saturday night. Survivor's Mom was catching up on rescue pages and saw that Avery was loose and all by herself in the cold in December right before Christmas. It was too later and Survivor's Mom was too exhausted to go looking that night. The next morning, Survivor and Mom went out looking for Avery, and the next day. Survivor looked for 3 days with his Mom. Finally on Christmas night....we got the miracle we were hoping for. Avery was caught in the dog trap that Survivor's Mom was able to borrow from the Upper Valley Humane Society. The family that let Survivor's Mom put up the trap, they were terrific and they caught the first sighting of Avery which lead to her capture. Thank you, Chris and Megan. Survivor was a trooper hiking thru the snow and cold. Survivor's Mom fed Survivor a special Christmas dinner for all his hard work. I am Survivor's Mom and He is just one of the reasons I do rescue. ​

LFAR rescues abandoned neglected and tramatized dogs from southern states and our focus is high-risk dogs and puppies. Local owner surrenders here in New Hampshire are also a passion of ours. Every dog that comes to LFAR will be fully vetted before finding their furever home.

We are a small group of dedicated people who want to ensure the proper treatment and care of the animals that we are lucky enough to help along their journey. We pull take in surrenders and strays from the towns listed above as well as take dogs and cats from crowded shelters in the south that would otherwise be euthanized. We are here to educate our local community on the proper care for the animals we are helping to rehome. We also offer a safe haven program and often work with a domestic violence shelter in our community to temporarily house animals for those that have been displaced due to a crisis. We take animals in our community that have some severe medical issues that would otherwise not be taken care of to try to better the animals lives and find them a better home to go to once they have recovered. We work closely with our local law enforcement to help with cruelty and neglect cases as well.

We are a group of local woman who have volunteered with other groups. We all share the love of dogs and cats and adore great pyrenees. we will help local strays and owner surrenders as well as work with a network of southern rescue partners. nothing warms our heart more than to see a discarded, unwanted animal thriving in a home where it is loved and thought of as a family member.

We rescue dogs mainly from rural parts of Mississippi that have no county shelters or minimal space for the animals. We make sure every animal is spayed/neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested (treated if need be), and microchipped prior to transport. We do it because we know the dogs and the people who want to help them have limited resources.

We are an all foster/all volunteer organization. If we have an open foster home that can handle the particular animal-we take it in. We vet our animals fully, including specialist consultations, etc. if needed. Our community needs a rescue that can take in animals and put them in loving foster homes.

No kill, non profit rescue organization. We will take on medical cases, owner surrenders, etc and find these cats and kittens safe and healthy homes.

MISSION STATEMENT To RESCUE cats from abandonment, provide REHABILITATION when necessary, bring our cats and their humans together in adoption and provide a RETIREMENT sanctuary to those in need. DESCRIPTION FuRRR Feline Rescue is a nonprofit, no kill, volunteer driven organization in New Hampshire incorporated in 2015. We specialize in the elderly, special needs and at risk of euthanasia kittens and cats from high kill southern shelters via our southern rescue partners. We often take cats that are in need of extensive medical care that may otherwise not get the necessary treatment. Our rehabilitation services include emergency medical care, medicine for chronic conditions and emotional care for traumatized cats. FuRRR helps our community working with local trappers, taking strays from the streets helping put an end to unwanted animals, as well as taking pets surrendered by their owners for many reasons. All cats in our care are spayed or neutered, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment. Our cats live in cage free communal rooms (except during Intake 48 hour quarantine and Isolation for illness) where they are able to freely roam and socialize with each other and our volunteers. We also have a network of fosters who care for pregnant females, moms with kittens as well as cats that need medical care multiple times per day and aren’t suited for the rescue. FuRRR values working with our community, we are partners with local retail stores. When our cats are healthy, free from behavioral issues, we place them in our adoption network of partner stores. We showcase our cats in store habitats for better exposure and holding monthly adoption events for quicker adoptions. Amazing cats join their new families and the public is educated about adopting cats from rescues. We provide lifetime sanctuary to cats who may be less desirable to adopting families due to age, chronic illness, behavioral skittishness or special needs. FuRRR has retirement residents that are/were 18 & 19 years old that were surrendered when their owners passed away. Other residents have neurological disorders and many have behavioral issues. Our volunteers spend extra time with these cats that need special attention. The geographic area we serve is New Hampshire, southern Maine and northeast Massachusetts. We have even had an adopter fly from Colorado to adopt a bonded pair of kittens from FuRRR! We are dedicated to keeping administrative costs low so that virtually every dollar donated goes directly to the care of our cats. 98% of all money contributed is spent directly in support of animal rescue and rehabilitation, with the remaining 2% supporting administration and fundraising. We have achieved this with much being paid for by our volunteer Board of Directors. We have a small but growing group of recurring monthly sponsors. FuRRR holds online auctions with amazing items donated by our volunteers and supporters. These auctions are held on our Facebook page and our supporters look forward to them several times per year. All funds raised benefit our FuRRR cats! When we have cats that come to us with extensive medical needs, we hold online fundraisers on our Facebook page. We have the most amazing supporters who have helped our cats who needed eye enucleation from severe upper respiratory infections in the shelter, to kittens born with eyelid agenesis who needed reconstructive surgery to provide a functional eyelid, to a stray kitten that was found on the side of the road in the rain who needed liver shunt surgery. His name is Turtle (because he moved so slowly when found) and over a year after surgery he is a happy healthy kitty! FuRRR believes in fighting for the voiceless cats that have been abandoned, abused, neglected and forgotten. RESULTS An average of 350 to 400+ cats per year will pass through our rescue. These cats are moved out of high kill southern shelters and locally as strays or owner surrenders. They are given everything needed for vetting and adopted into safe and loving homes. For a new rescue our numbers of Intake/Adoptions from 2015 to 2016 show our rapid growth. Our social media shows our amazing support from our local community to our national cat rescue community. FuRRR is dedicated to feline rescue and will steadily provide more services in our local community and with our partner stores as our volunteer base grows.

We are a group of like minded women who have been involved in rescue for quite some time with other rescues over the years but decided to strike out on our own. We are all very passionate about trying to save lives and placing them in forever homes. We are all volunteers with busy lives, families and pets of our own but realize the need of doing rescue right. Our dogs are quarantined in the south for a minimum of two weeks before being transported north. They are seen by a vet, updated on vaccines, tested for parasites including heartworm, spayed/neutered and get interstate health certificates prior to travel. Upon arrival in NH, our dogs are quarantined and then seen by our NH vet for a health certificate. Our dogs are routinely dewormed and treated with flea/tick preventatives as well as heart worm preventatives and microchipped. We are not a huge rescue as our heart and soul goes into our dogs so we try hard to find the perfect home.
