Safe At Last Animal Rescue is an all-volunteer not-for-profit group dedicated to saving the lives of shelter animals. Every day, staggering numbers of wonderful animals are discarded in shelters across the country. Irresponsible pet ownership -- be it, the failure to spay/neuter or follow through on one's commitment -- results in a tragic loss of life. We, at Safe At Last, feel these animals need a voice. It is Safe At Last's mission to help ease the suffering, as well as stop it at its source. We do this by taking animals into our organization from shelters across the country, fostering them in our homes, providing them proper veterinary care, and then matching them with wonderful forever homes. Further, to help assist with the financial plight in many of the shelters, we send the bulk of our adoptions fees back to the shelters. We also do fundraisers to raise much needed monies for the shelters, many of which are barely able to keep their doors open. These funds assist the shelters in buying the basics (food & medicines) for the continuing influx of animals. These monies also allow the shelters to provide more advanced medical care (e.g., heartworm treatment, special surgeries), thus increasing the likelihood that these animals will be able to get to rescue. Safe At Last is also working directly with shelters to assist in facilitating adoptions directly from those facilities. This not only gets more animals out of the shelters and into forever homes, but also provides much-needed financial support. Finally, Safe At Last is dedicated to education (both online and event-related). Educational efforts are multi-dimensional. We educate relative to stopping the overpopulation problem at its source, by emphasizing the need to spay and neuter. We also educate to increase awareness regarding animals already in need, stressing adoption via rescue rather than pet shops or breeders. Finally, we educate regarding responsible pet ownership and general "pet-related" matters. At Safe at Last, we remain committed to saving shelter pets, one life at a time.

We are all volunteer, non-profit, and each of us is personally dedicated to improving the lives of as many homeless animals as possible.

We are a not for profit 5013(c) rescue organization providing medical care, spay/neuter, foster home for pets awaiting adoption. most pets are rescued before being euthanized at local shelters.

We are a not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) organization, dedicated to the non-proliferation of unwanted animals, works for the protection and welfare of abandoned, feral and stray cats. We are dedicated to humanely reducing FELINE overpopulation by preventing the birth of unwanted litters through Trap/Spay/Neuter/Return (TNR). We find permanent homes for 400-500 friendly cats annually.

We are a small group of people that came together to form Fluuterbyes Animal Rescue. Our main goal is to take in unwanted animals, rehabilitate them and place them into new loving homes

I started in dog rescue this year. I bring up dogs from high kill shelters in the south and find them new Forever homes. I do this because I love dogs and I can't bear that so many healthy adoptable dogs are killed in the south each year.

Our rescue group was formed in December 2007, but all our Board Members have had extensive experience rescuing and working with abandoned animals. We often work with other rescue organizations to find appropriate and safe foster and adoptive homes for our pet clients. We regularly go to areas with abandoned animals and collect them. The animals are taken to a licensed veterinarian examined, treated and spayed or neutered. Every effort is made to work with the animal and our foster and adoptive families to find a suitable forever home. For those animals who are truly wild and feral, we release the animal in a safe and secure location after it has recovered from its medical treatment. We also work with certified wildlife rehabilitators to rescue injured and orphaned wildlife. Our organization is focused on improving the welfare of the abandoned animals in need of help in Brooklyn. In furthering that goal, our resources are focused on the animals. Aside from a few minimal overhead costs such as our website and phone services, our entire budget is spent on animal care such as medical and food costs.

I have been rescuing and adopting out retired racers for about 17 years. My passion for them started when I adopted a retired racer from my local SPCA. It was love at first sight and I have been devoted to them ever since.

I am a dog warden and the strays that i pick up that nobody claims, are then put up for adoption. I do this job because I love animals and I want to help them.
