ALIVE Rescue Memphis is a foster-based rescue program for homeless animals in the Memphis area. We aim to save as many lives as possible from kill shelters and the streets by ultimately placing them in their best-matched foster homes. We then match people and animals to their forever families and homes.

We rescue mostly small senior and/or special needs dogs. These are dogs that are most turned into shelters or left behind when family members pass away or can no longer care for them. I am 72 and have had dogs most of my life. I started rescuing after I retired from the Coast Guard when I saw such a great need for rescues due to high euthanasia rates in our area.

Friends of Alley Cats is working to better the welfare of the Cats/Kittens in Rhea County, TN.

We also rescue cats in need of homes from a multitude of situations and provide adoption opportunities to cats ready to have a furrever home.

I am a life-long animal lover, former vet tech and former breeder of Golden Retrievers. We moved to the hills of TN on 80 acres 9 years ago and immediately started collecting all the abandoned dogs in this area. I saw a need and have worked with area rescues and like-minded people in the area to fill that need.
